[Intro:]
Action Chip told me finish that cheese first boy
Okay!
Turn up my guitar
Ladies and gentlemen
First hip-hop guitarist
Oh ya'll gonna learn
Goddamn
I found my balance again
Wyclef the general, turn up
Hip-hop guitarist, stay on my Jimi Hendrix
[Verse 1:]
If Tenor Saw was here he'd say
Ticky ticky tock on my golden hen
She layin next to this gentlemen
Sometimes Glock 9, sometimes mac-10
Turn me up
Whenever she lay, she sing a sweet song
Coot coot coot, coot lay low
Hey, it's time to teach 'em bro
Hey, they got to learn bro
Real talk Jay, I was with Bill Clinton
On a Air Force One headed down to my island
I'm the one they boarded when they wanted to keep the peace
United nations know the gangs would listen to me
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie brought them out to Haiti
This is before the earthquake's on your TV's
Used to go to DC, see Nancy Pelosi
I spoke in front of congress fighting for my country
But once I decided that I'm a run for president
My whole life changed in a split second
Now I understand the hidden outlaw on the dollar
They never let a nigga that had a power
In the final hour I'm with Wolf Blitzer on CNN
Then felt my constitution got twisted with Sean's penn
Even my bandmate said I wasn't fit
But I can see the future, Nostradamus
They took me out the race said I had no resident
But I'm so powerful I made my man the president
Lost 20 mill when I decided to run
But I'm a make it all back with my next album
Who God bless man no man can curse
How worse can it get, man I used to eat dirt...
Hip-hop guitarist
Hip-hop guitarist, stay on my Jimi Hendrix
Ya'll gon learn
[Verse 2:]
In the hood they used to call me
The baddest with a Venezuelan flow, Hugo Chavez
Everything I say know gotta make sense
Cause I be gone with the wind
Now I understand the mathematics of the one
When they say there's nothing new under the sun
Ain't no illuminati here they just tryna scare you here
Cause if we ever join forces we be nuclear
I made the labels rich now it's time to build an empire
Then I'm a retire cause even the Pope gets tired
They call me general, canons hit your walls
Two kings can't reign, one gotta fall
And that's Rom for you, that's streets for you
Everybody got a set of goons ready to get you
And them same goons that's ready to kill for you
Twelve disciples, somebody Judas
Somebody snitching, giving information
Then it's immigration, then it's deportation back on a island
This is more then a run on sentence
My raps are true life events
The general man I'm back with the info
Did you know a haitian was the founder of Chicago?
Jean Baptiste if you wanna Google search up a haitian on the map
All y'all do is Google earth
From Haiti landed on Flatbush
From Flatbush walk to New Jersey
New Jerusalem, I'm talkin brick city
Not many like me in the semi treaty
From movin brick in the Brick City
Brick City and the brick city
[Outro:]
[?]
Haitians
April Showers, go
All hands on deck, refugee republic
I stay on my Jimi Hendrix
Action Chip told me finish that cheese first boy
Okay!

Haiti è un paese terribilmente travagliato, molto povero e segnato dalle distruzioni riportate durante il grande terremoto del 2010. È un paese dove da 2011 la carica del presidente viene coperta da un cantante Kompa, tale Michel Martelly (in arte Sweet Micky) http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Ma...
Ma risulta che quello stato dei Caraibi, oggi come oggi, è presidiato da incirca 10.000 marines americani e 8.500 caschi blu . Wyclef Jean, nel corso delle ultime elezioni, ha appoggiato la candidatura di Martelly, dopo che ha dovuto ritirare la sua, visto che vive negli U.S.A. Però, se ho capito bene, dopo diverse critiche e accuse, fra le quali anche questa di non sapersi esprimere nell'idioma natio, ha deciso a quanto pare, registrare pure dei pezzi cantati in creolo haitiano. Non lo so se il testo haitiano proposto da me è corretto, ma è l'unico che sono riuscito a reperire nella rete. Sembra una risposta alle polemiche di cui è stato l'oggetto. C'è un capitolo della storia polacca legato a Napoleone Bonaparte e l'isola Hispaniola, che si trovava allora sotto il dominio francese:
The disastrous Haitian campaign
In 1802, France sent most of the disgruntled legionnaires (two demi-brigades, 5,280 strong) to Haiti to put down the Haitian Revolution (on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, known then as Saint Domingue, the French West Indies). Napoleon wanted to regain the colony of Saint Domingue, but preferred to save his main French army for more important matters, closer to home. The now inconvenient Polish units were accompanied by contingents of Germans and Swiss French allies, as well as by French units that had fallen out of favour with Napoleon and the French high command.
The Haitian campaign proved disastrous for the legionnaires. Combat casualties and tropical diseases, including the yellow fever, reduced the 5,280-strong Polish contingent to a few hundred survivors in the space of less than two years. By the time the French forces retreated from the island in 1803, about 4,000 Poles had died (either from disease or combat). Of the survivors, about 400 remained on the island, a few dozen were dispersed to the nearby islands or to the United States, and about 700 returned to France (Urbankowski claims 6,000 sent and 330 returned).
The Poles had little interest or desire to support the French cause in the distant colonies, once again fighting against people who only desired their own independence. In Haiti there still is a popular myth that many Polish soldiers became sympathetic to the former slaves' cause and deserted the French, supporting Jean-Jacques Dessalines in significant numbers, with entire units changing sides. In fact, the actual desertion rate was much lower; nonetheless about 150 Polish soldiers joined the Haitian rebels. The loss of that many patriotic military personnel in the Caribbean was a serious blow to the Polish aspirations for regaining independence. The Haitian experience cast further doubts among Poles about France's and Napoleon's good intentions toward Poland.

Aggiungerei una cosa sola a questa nota della Wiki britannica. I legionari polacchi erano "disgruntled" e si ribellavano, perchè i francesi non gli versavano il soldo. Sono partiti con la promessa di essere finalmente pagati.
Forse la canzone andrebbe bene per il percorso "La guerra del lavoro: emigrazione, immigrazione, sfruttamento, schiavitù", visto la discendenza dello stesso Wyclef Jean.
Salud!
