"Mezi lajan w, mezi wanga w", Is that about voodoo?

No. (well, maybe for some people)
It is an Haitian Creole expression which is about doing the best with what you've got.

Expression:          Mezi lajan w, mezi wanga w.
Literal meaning:   The measure of your money, the measure of
                            your voodoo/witchcraft/sorcery.
Meaning:              Your success is as deep as your pockets.
