Wyclef Jean - Jean Dominique Intro lyrics

I was 4… 4 years old
When the Marine left Haiti
The US Marine left Haiti i was a kid
And every time a Marine battalion passed
In front of the house
My father took my hand and said: "Don't
Look at them don't look at them"
And every May 18th… (Which is that?)
The flag day

Defiantly he put the Haitian flag
In front of the house
And I said: "Father what is that?
What does that mean for you?"
He said: "That means that you are
Haitian that means that my
Great-grandfather FOUGHT at Vertières
NEVER forget that! you are Haitian!
You are from this land you

Are not French! You are


Not British! You are not
American! You are Haitian!"
