[Spoken lines]
Se maetro Brutus wi ki ta sipoze chante mizik sa
Yeah men se lavi l
Non non non kòm dabitud ban m bay yon nouvo talan pase
Wid chante sa pou mwen
[Verse 1]
Gen yon tablo ki paka repentire oh non non hmm
Gen yon imaj ou paka janmen chanje hmm hmm
Genyen wout ou paka retrase
Tout moun deja konn kote l kòmanse e ki kote lap rive iii
[Verse 2]
Gen yon rezime ke w paka edite
Taye yon bonè lòt chapo nan tèt li yo deja konnen se manti
Of course you can fool some people, sometimes
Men se pa tout map ka pran nenpòt ki bagay
[Chorus]
Je m'appelle Jean Brutus j'ai pas un nom d'artiste
Have my head up, stay strong (He works hard, he'll live on)
Se konsa yo rekonèt mwen, pa mete sou li pou mwen
[Verse 3]
You can take this spotlight, I'll lay back
Stay on my feet pa janm kouri twò vit
Prend la vie comme elle vient (crois moi je me sens bien)
[Chorus]
Je m'appelle Jean Brutus j'ai pas un nom d'artiste
Have my head up, stay strong (He works hard, he'll live on)
Se konsa yo rekonèt mwen, pa mete sou li pou mwen
Je fais la route en souriant
Y'a pas toujours le beau temps
Danser sous la pluie, le soleil Midi
Dieu le Saint Esprit, c'est lui qui benit
[Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 4]
You can take this spotlight, I'll lay back
Stay on my feet, pa janm kouri twò vit
Prend la vie comme elle vient (crois moi je me sens bien)
[Chorus]
Je m'appelle Jean Brutus j'ai pas un nom d'artiste
Have my head up stay strong (He works hard, he'll live on)
Se konsa yo rekonèt mwen pa mete sou li pou mwen
Je fais la route en souriant, y'a pas toujours le beau temps
Danser sous la pluie, le soleil Midi
Dieu le Saint Esprit, c'est lui qui benit
[Verse 5]
Dèyè mwen yon katalòg ki vo plis ke kòb
Wout mwen pase, kisa mwen kite
Leson chak jou tout moun ap resite
Dèyè mwen yon katalòg ki vo plis kòb
Sa enpòtan pou mwen pase lajan
Bagay ki vini avèk le temps
Chanter mes refrains des melodies sans fin
Moi je fais du bien, ne regrette rien
Je suis bien un livre ouvert
Merci seigneur
