Antillas Lyrics English Translation by Chanel
No, I’m not scared
Go ahead and swing the whip (eh)
Go taste the fruit
And say it don’t make you trip (eh)
If you’re gonna shoot, at least aim straight
Not just clever, sweet, or saintly—I’m the top bit** in this game
I can do magic, I can work wonders
Perfume, rose petals, sacred powders
Learned a ritual straight from the Antilles
Make sure they can’t even stand from their seats
(Oooooh)
In my presence, they all kneel down
(Oooooh)
How bold—I’m straight from the Antilles now
Plan B’s in motion
They think they tasted my honey
But I’m shedding skin, new version of me
I’m over it
I don’t have time to waste
I’m toasting with rum and café
Born a warrior
No one like me ever again
If I touch it, it turns to platinum
If you can’t handle me—Ashé!
I shine at night
I come from the River
Bring it on—yeah, I accept your challenge
(Iyá mi ilé-e edo)
In my presence, they all kneel down
(Iyá mi ilé-e edo)
How bold—I’m straight from the Antilles now
I can do magic, I can work wonders
Perfume, rose petals, sacred powders
Learned a ritual straight from the Antilles
Make sure they can’t even stand from their seats
I can do magic, I can work wonders
Perfume, rose petals, sacred powders
Learned a ritual straight from the Antilles
So they don’t—
So they, they, they, they—
So they don’t
