Lyrics [Translated from Creole by Sydelle Exantus]

Learn to Know

1
You have to live in misery to talk about misery eeee
When I tell you that I'm hungry, you don't know what that feels like
You have to live in wealth to talk about wealth an an an an
Or else any little bit of money could shock you
You have to live in love to know what love is ou ou ou
When you see me on my knees, don't run and say that I'm crazy
No, I'm not crazy... No, I'm not crazy
You could say I'm crazy , no I'm not crazy, no I'm not crazy

2
You have to live together as an unmarried couple to know the details of the home a a a ay
If the person sometimes flies into a rage, you'll avoid marriage
You have to be a pest to live with a person who's a pest e e es
They have so many flaws, this punishment can braid your hair
You shouldn't look at this brother's hair a a a a
And already run and say he's a good rasta a a a a
He might not be a rasta, not a rasta
Saying he's a rasta a a a a, he might not be a rasta, not a rasta


Refrain
You have to understand (prann prann prann)
Don't ever say you won't learn (prann prann prann)
Even if it's your head you have to split split split
To put it in, to put it in, put it in

3
You have to live in the ghetto to know the lives of guys in the ghetto o o o
The reality of their life is not the same as the people up above
And there is not water that can give them stomach aches o o o
Two days without food won't mess up their insides
They're not going to the club, they're not into fun yo o o o
The DJ is going to play, they're going to a very different party instead o o o
Ghetto guys, ghetto guys
Respect to them o o o ghetto guys, ghetto guys


4
You have to live in debauchery to have a hole in your pockets (o o och)
Waking up the next morning with your shoes on the wrong feet
You've decided to waste your life o o o
So discouraged, you want to leave school
It's bad experiences that can give your life some sense (an an ans)
You have to live with hope, this life is a game of patience
Game of patience, game of patience
Little game of patience, game of patience, game of patience


Refrain
You have to understand (prann prann prann)
Don't ever say you won't learn (prann prann prann)
Even if it's your head you have to split split split
To put it in, to put it in, put it in


5
It's like poisoned food, we know how it's dangerous
Imagine that you didn't know and you're already eating
It's like if a gangster is challenging you, you're already underestimating yourself
After a little dialogue, you see the error was in yourself
Look at me, don't roll your eyes at me , Look at me, don't roll your eyes at me
It's like poisoned food, we know how it's dangerous
Imagine that you didn't know and you're already eating
It's like if a gangster is challenging you, you're already underestimating yourself
After a little dialogue, you see the error was in yourself
Look at me, don't roll your eyes at me , Look at me, don't roll your eyes at me


Refrain
You have to understand (prann prann prann)
Don't ever say you won't learn (prann prann prann)
Even if it's your head you have to split split split
To put it in, to put it in, put it in
