Lyrics
My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I
– Te mwen te ale frèt, mwen mande poukisa mwen
Got out of bed at all
– Te soti nan kabann nan tout
The morning rain clouds up my window (Window)
– Lapli maten an ap fè nwaj sou fenèt mwen an (Fenèt)
And I can’t see at all
– E mwen pa ka wè nan tout
And even if I could, it’d all be grey
– E menm si mwen te kapab, li ta tout gri
But your picture on my wall
– Men foto ou sou miray mwen an
It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad (Bad)
– Li raple m ke li pa tèlman mal, li pa tèlman mal (Move)
My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I
– Te mwen te ale frèt, mwen mande poukisa mwen
Got out of bed at all
– Te soti nan kabann nan tout
The morning rain clouds up my window (Window)
– Lapli maten an ap fè nwaj sou fenèt mwen an (Fenèt)
And I can’t see at all
– E mwen pa ka wè nan tout
And even if I could, it’d all be grey
– E menm si mwen te kapab, li ta tout gri
But your picture on my wall
– Men foto ou sou miray mwen an
It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad (Bad)
– Li raple m ke li pa tèlman mal, li pa tèlman mal (Move)
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain’t callin’
– Chè Slim, mwen te ekri ou, men ou toujou pa ap rele
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
– Mwen te kite telefòn mobil mwen, telefòn mwen ak telefòn lakay mwen nan pati anba a
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not’ve got ’em
– Mwen voye de lèt tounen nan otòn, ou pa dwe gen ‘ em
There prob’ly was a problem at the post office or somethin’
– Gen pwobableman te yon pwoblèm nan biwo lapòs la oswa yon bagay
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot ’em
– Pafwa mwen gribi adrès twò malpwi lè mwen ekri ’em
But anyways, fuck it, what’s been up, man? How’s your daughter?
– Men, de tout fason, fuck li, sa ki te moute, nonm? Ki jan pitit fi ou ye?
My girlfriend’s pregnant too, I’m ’bout to be a father
– Mennaj mwen an ansent tou, mwen pral yon papa
If I have a daughter, guess what I’ma call her? I’ma name her Bonnie
– Si mwen gen yon pitit fi, devine ki sa mwen pral rele l’? Mwen pral rele L Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I’m sorry
– Mwen li sou Tonton Ou Ronnie tou, mwen regrèt
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn’t want him
– Mwen te gen yon zanmi touye tèt li sou kèk ti fi ki pa t ‘vle l’
I know you prob’ly hear this every day, but I’m your biggest fan
– Mwen konnen ou pwobableman tande sa chak jou, men mwen se pi gwo fanatik ou
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
– Mwen menm te resevwa bagay la anba tè ke ou te fè Ak Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
– Mwen te gen yon chanm plen ak afich ou ak foto ou, nonm
I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat
– Mwen renmen bagay ou te fè ak Rawkus tou, bagay sa a te phat
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
– De tout fason, mwen espere ou jwenn sa a, nonm, frape m ‘ tounen
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
– Jis pou chat, vrèman ou, pi gwo fanatik ou, sa a se Stan
My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I
– Te mwen te ale frèt, mwen mande poukisa mwen
Got out of bed at all
– Te soti nan kabann nan tout
The morning rain clouds up my window (Window)
– Lapli maten an ap fè nwaj sou fenèt mwen an (Fenèt)
And I can’t see at all
– E mwen pa ka wè nan tout
And even if I could, it’d all be grey
– E menm si mwen te kapab, li ta tout gri
But your picture on my wall
– Men foto ou sou miray mwen an
It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad (Bad)
– Li raple m ke li pa tèlman mal, li pa tèlman mal (Move)
Dear Slim, you still ain’t called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
– Chè Slim, ou toujou pa rele oswa ekri, mwen espere ou gen yon chans
I ain’t mad, I just think it’s fucked up you don’t answer fans
– Mwen pa fache, mwen jis panse ke li nan fonn moute ou pa reponn fanatik
If you didn’t want to talk to me outside your concert, you didn’t have to
– Si ou pa t vle pale avè m deyò konsè ou, ou pa t gen pou
But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
– Men ou te ka siyen yon otograf Pou Matye
That’s my little brother, man, he’s only six years old
– Sa se ti frè m, nonm, li se sèlman sis ane fin vye granmoun
We waited in the blisterin’ cold for you, for four hours, and you just said, “no”
– Nou te tann nan blisterin ‘frèt pou ou, pou kat èdtan, epi ou jis te di, “non”
That’s pretty shitty, man, you’re like his fuckin’ idol
– Sa se byen merde, nonm, ou se tankou li fuckin ‘ idol
He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do
– Li vle pou yo jis tankou ou, nonm, li renmen ou plis pase mwen fè
I ain’t that mad, though I just don’t like bein’ lied to
– Mwen pa sa fou, byenke mwen jis pa renmen ke yo te bay manti
Remember when we met in Denver? You said if I’d write you, you would write back
– Sonje lè nou te rankontre Nan Denver? Ou te di si mwen ta ekri ou, ou ta ekri tounen
See, I’m just like you in a way: I never knew my father neither
– Wè, mwen jis tankou ou nan yon fason: mwen pa janm te konnen papa m ‘ ni
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
– Li te toujou twonpe manman m e li te bat li
I can relate to what you’re sayin’ in your songs
– Mwen ka gen rapò ak sa w ap di nan chante ou yo
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put ’em on
– Se konsa, lè mwen gen yon jou merde, mwen drift lwen epi mete yo sou
‘Cause I don’t really got shit else, so that shit helps when I’m depressed
– Paske mwen pa vrèman gen yon lòt bagay, se konsa ke bagay ede lè mwen deprime
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
– Mwen menm te gen yon tatoo ak non ou atravè pwatrin lan
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
– Pafwa mwen menm koupe tèt mwen pou wè konbyen li san
It’s like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
– Li se tankou adrenalin, doulè a se tankou yon prese toudenkou pou mwen
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you ’cause you tell it
– Wè, tout sa ou di se reyèl, e mwen respekte ou paske ou di li
My girlfriend’s jealous ’cause I talk about you 24/7
– Mennaj mwen an jalou paske mwen pale de ou 24/7
But she don’t know you like I know you, Slim, no one does
– Men, li pa konnen ou tankou mwen konnen ou, Slim, pèsonn pa fè
She don’t know what it was like for people like us growin’ up
– Li pa konnen ki sa li te tankou pou moun tankou nou ap grandi
You gotta call me, man, I’ll be the biggest fan you’ll ever lose
– Ou dwe rele m, nonm, mwen pral pi gwo fanatik ou pral janm pèdi
Sincerely yours, Stan, PS: We should be together too
– Sensèman ou, stan, PS: nou ta dwe ansanm tou
My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I
– Te mwen te ale frèt, mwen mande poukisa mwen
Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window (Window)
– Lapli maten an ap fè nwaj sou fenèt mwen an (Fenèt)
And I can’t see at all
– E mwen pa ka wè nan tout
And even if I could, it’d all be grey

But your picture on my wall
– Men foto ou sou miray mwen an
It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad (Bad)
– Li raple m ke li pa tèlman mal, li pa tèlman mal (Move)
