Lyrics by Jean-Odlin Jean-Noel
CRY OF FREEDOM
I felt like I was going down, so I learned to fly.
You can take my flesh, but I will never die.
They can never take my shine; don't even need to try.
Why they even started? You know why.
1804, yeah we've been here before.
Cries of freedom will wail once more.
Many years in captivity, still we rise.
Now they're desperate, they want us to compromise.
It's propaganda; no we're not poor.
They broke into our home and then nailed our leader to the door.
Charlemagne Peralte, nou pap janm bliye'w.
San'w koule'w pa menm bezwen pale, nou tande kriye'w.
Toussaint, Jean-Jacques, Mackandal ak tout res yo.
Menm si yo pa la, fo nou goumen pou'n kenbe fyete yo.
Trump, money can buy you a room, but it can't buy you class Donald.
You claim that you're first, but you're really last.
We can use your head as the pumpkin for our soup.
January 1st Black Independence get the scoop.
We shed blood for our people. Every one of us is a superhero.
We've been fighting from birth; ever since we set foot on this Earth.
We are warriors...warriors.
No, I won't cry today. The tears have gone away.
It's been every single, but not today.
Not today (X4)
They say that we are nothing, but they know the truth.
They don't want us to teach it to educate the youth.
It's cool to be conscious. Seek God first and be righteous.
Anytime you fall, you get back up and strong; never give up.
In a haystack looking for a needle. I set it on fire then I looked for a metal.
Anything is possible when you know what you're doing;
life is hard, but it's easy when you follow Elohim.
Live in the world, but not of it.
What good is a man who gained the world, but lost his soul?
Chorus: No, I won't cry today. The tears have gone away.
It's been every single, but not today.
Not today (X4)
(We won't cry anymore, we won't shed a tear.)
(Guitar Solo)
Outro chant: Kanal la pap kanpe; non non li pap kanpe. Ayiti pap kanpe; non non li pap kanpe (repeat X )
