Death Threats lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 Death threats

In the middle of the night

Cowards on the telephone

Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

Yeah, I'm ridin' towards my enemy

Before they come and get my family

Biggie used to ask what's beef

It's when my own countryman wanna kill me

I used to rip a flag in the air like I'm part of the set

But now it seems like the same set is givin' me death threats

All I wanted to be was Commander-in-chief

But it seems like they wanna see me six feet deep

But no weapon used against me shall prosper

(Prosper, prosper, prosper, prosper)

Death threats

In the middle of the night

(What they said?)

Cowards on the telephone

Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

Yeah, I'm ridin' towards my enemy

Before they come and get my family

Then they labeled me

(A populist)

Pushed the decision back before they kicked me out the race

So they met in Peurto Princess in secrecy

They said they heard a rumor that I met with Irish Steve

But all I wanted to be was Commander-in-chief

So when the food price rise, everyone still eats

Give them some books, make sure everybody reads

Illiteracy is modern day slavery

Death threats

In the middle of the night

(What they said?)

Cowards on the telephone

Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

I'm ridin' towards my enemy

Before they come and get my family

The coin that I bet heads on, been tails all along

On both sides of the coin

So I'm careful who I eat with

'Cause if I'm poisoned, a dead man can't get elected

Preacher laid his hands on me, said it's a prophesy

But like Bijou Banton, it's my destiny

Yo, and I kept the crowd calm

But they runnin' out of patience, they got short talk and long arms

We disgrace, story come from photo press

All the music where the scene gets tense

And the perpetrator says, "If you love your life

You would take the next plane but you can't survive"

You see I won't get the Peace Prize

'Cause I got a rifle hangin' by my bedside

A million voices goin' feel like a genocide

If my people don't fight for their equal right

You see I won't get the Peace Prize

'Cause I got a rifle hangin' by my bedside

A million voices goin' feel like a genocide

If my people don't fight for their equal right

Death threats

Me ain't scared

In the middle of the night

(What they said?)

Cowards on the telephone

Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife

So I got no choice

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

(Choppered up, vest on)

Got on my chopper, got my vest on

Yeah, David shoot Goliath with a slingshot

[?]
