Slums lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Jazzy Amra, H1DaHook & Marx Solvila)
[Wyclef Jean:]
Dearly beloved
I wanna dedicate this song
To all my refugees around the world
My shottas
My Zoe's
HM, and all the sets around the world, one gang now
[Marx Solvila:]
Little shotta boy, we gon' make it out the hood one day
No more drugs dealin', no more gunplay
The G5's landin' on the runway
You know that the world is yours
Lost a couple good friends 'long the way
Coming from the slums, we make mistakes
Yeah, yeah
[Wyclef Jean:]
Life's like a carnival every day
But we stay sucker-free, no clown face
'Cause them boys Bugs Bunny jumpin' for the carrots
Repeating everything to the Feds like parrots
But all I see's the future ahead
A new start like when I cut off my dreads
Statistically, I ain't even supposed to be here
Bad Christmas, I never seen a reindeer
You beat me, we all got our ego
You sniffin' on that Hulk though, Lou Ferrigno
We go ape, y'all just pose like ya'll killers
I know King Kong when I see him, y'all Magilla Gorillas
Ever had to face pressure?
Squeeze the crack so far up your ass
That you woke up with a ulcer
Yeah, them the homies that I know
They either deported or they ain't comin' home no more
[Marx Solvila:]
Little shotta boy, we gon' make it out the hood one day
No more drugs dealin', no more gunplay
The G5's landin' on the runway
You know that the world is yours
Lost a couple good friends 'long the way
Coming from the slums, we make mistakes
Yeah, yeah
[Jazzy Amra:]
I'm just tryna make it out the slums
And turn our dreams into reality
Little shotta boy, I'll hold you down
Until the day they come and bury me
Queen of the castle, the leader of the pack
I send my troops into battle
Sexy and classy, but don't let it fool ya
You can catch me in the cut, posted up with that Ruger
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[H1 Da Hook:]
I followed my calling
You can picture me broke and you could picture me ballin'
American gangster, the Haitian's behind me
District thirteen posted up, if you boys wanna come find me
And my shooters stay with me, a natural born leader
I'm the OG of the block, I testify like the preachers
All my niggas that's with me, take a puff of that reefer
I don't do it for myself, I do this shit for my people
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Marx Solvila:]
Little shotta boy, we gon' make it out the hood one day
No more drugs dealin', no more gunplay
The G5's landin' on the runway
You know that the world is yours
Lost a couple good friends 'long the way
Coming from the slums, we make mistakes
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge:]
I'm by the river
Don't complicate me
God ain't touched me
I ain't saved yet
I'm by the river
Please be patient
God ain't touched me
I ain't saved yet
[Marx Solvila:]
Little shotta boy, we gon' make it out the hood one day
No more drugs dealin', no more gunplay
The G5's landin' on the runway
You know that the world is yours
Lost a couple good friends 'long the way
Coming from the slums, we make mistakes
Yeah, yeah
Turn Me Good lyrics - Wyclef Jean
The way you touch me
Your love is holy
Turn me good [x2]
What we gonna do when we get to Zion
Imma love you all night
We gonna be alright [x2]
When I couldn't pay the rent
I had no money to spend
I was caught up in the trench
Now you're the reason that we rich
When the feds raid the door
Put the shadow on the floor
They found them things in the drawer
You got me the lawyer for the court
What we gonna do when we get to Zion
We gonna make love all night
Like a Marvin Gaye song
What we gonna do when we get to Zion
We gonna make love all night
Like Mr. Marley
Turn down the lights
We don't need no interruption
Turn down the lights
We can have a deep discussion
Turn up the lights, Baby
You don't have to hide your imperfections
Turn down the lights
Ehh, What we gonna do when we get to Zion
We gonna make love all night
Like a Marvin Gaye song
What we gonna do when we get to Zion
We gonna make love all night
We gonna be alright
Wait a minute baby
You're so real
You shoot to kill
Ehh, in this cold world
We feel them chill
Zion awaits, yeah
I'm in the bed
At them golden gates
What we gonna do when we get to Zion
We gonna make love all night
And I'm feeling alright
What we gonna do when we get to Zion
We gonna be alright
We gonna love all night
The way you touch me
Your love is holy
Turn me good [x2]
Borrowed Time lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Falling from space, sometimes I feel out of place
Words we can't take back, if I could I would erase
Do whatever it take, to show you I appreciate
Before the angel tells me that it's too late
High noon the guns are drawn, it's a battle for love
Stand on the side as she watch it goes down
When it seems like the end, that's when it all begins
As she opens the door and lets me in
We're on borrowed time
Clock keeps ticking
Days keep passing
Oh we can't waist no time
These are the days of lives
When we will fall
Just so we can rise
Just so we can rise
A Cinderella's ball
Last call for alcohol
The saints marching in
While us sinners play the drums
When the shackles are broken
That's when we all will run free
And we will no longer worship the beast
What once was built
I seen sadness destroy
But it make my faith stronger
I believe in the joy
And passion has kicked in
Like a thief in the night
And the touch feels like eternal life
We're on borrowed time
Clock keeps ticking
Days keep passing
Oh we can't waist no time
These are the days of lives
When we will fall
Just so we can rise
Just so we can rise
Uh huh, Ice-cubes in my drink, it's a good day
Seen a drive by turn to love parade
Battleship turns to the love boat
Refugees found our home that we're looking for
No more robberies
Everbody's equal
Found the cure for the cancer
No more diseases
No bombs falling from the skyline
Peace, treaty, everybody co-sign
Colorblind, we all one people
One love, like a Mob Marley sequel
I'm sitting back listen to John Lennon
Imagined that it happened
We're on borrowed time
Clock keeps ticking
Days keep passing
Oh we can't waist no time
These are the days of lives
When we will fall
Just so we can rise
Just so we can rise
We're on borrowed time

Double Dutch lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Eric Nimmer & D.L. Hughley)
That's the girls, man, they playing double dutch
That's my man he rolling up the dutch
And that's me man I am playing superhero
(Shazam)
Yah, now we running from the 50
718 boy they running from the 50
305 man they running from the 50
404 boy they running from the 50
Hawaii 50, man we running from the 50
Thank god for them bars over guitar
Nice with the hands
You need a partner we can spar
Other younglings that I know
Boy they don't use hand guards
They use the trigger like quick drama dra
Yea, me and my brother with the bubble bust
I'm on the roof I'm screaming, I got the juice
1 brick, 2 brick, 3 brick 4
Now DEA boy they bringing down the door
Man they searching for that cocahina
Now my boy is deported back to Ponkakana
Yea, though they try to set me up like hurricane
I felt the horror man but I ain't touch the cane
Yea, it's still mucho tropaho
Though the road is rocky imma KO apollo
Where I come from? North Mon ah Die
Sling shot, hit birds from the sky
So when I landed in the country with eagles eyes
I'm in the kitchen cooking American pie
That's the girls, man, they playing double dutch
That's my man he rolling up the dutch
And that's me man I'm playing superhero
(New case)
Yea, now we running from the 50
310 they running from the 50
973 boy they running from the 50
212 now they running from the 50
Hawaii 50, man we running from the 50
Best friends turns to ex-friends
We were recruited like the X-men
They got my whole firm tap
Wikeleaks I can hear them from the back
They gon have me go beast mode
And do two bars in mores code
Yea, but I can't stand to see another COP
Take another life of a KID
And I can't stand to see another NUT
That's the futious style on the air YPD
LAPD, everybody's frighten
Cuz when the storm comes you don't to get hit with lightning
509 man we running from the 50
876 boy we running from the 50
514 man we running from the 50
Oh no, man we running from the 50
Everybody itchy with the Twitter finger
Always wanna, switch face negga
Everybody itchy with the Twitter finger

What Happened To Love lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Lunch Money Lewis & The Knocks)
[Wyclef Jean:]
Ladies and gentlemen
I'm just getting back from the tour
I got one thing to say, man
Guitar please
Bass man, are you with me?
How's my drummer?
Get funky on 'em
Looka looka here, your man's right here
Celebrate tonight like New Year's
Let's cheers 'cause love's in the air
Jealous girls looking at you with the hate stare
You still got slang, you're my boogie bang bang
In the middle of the night when you do the wild thing
Baby baby love the way you ting-a-ling-a-ling
So hot, fire alarm, ring-a-ling-a-ling
[Wyclef Jean & LunchMoney Lewis:]
You never have to be alone
I swear that you're the only one
You know with me you've found your home
(Let me get a little more keyboard please)
One day girl, we'll be looking back
I'll kiss you then you'll kiss me back
You know you'll never have to ask
[LunchMoney Lewis:]
What happened to love
Girl, it's as good as it always was
What happened to love
Girl, it's as good as it always was (Let's do it)
But you gave on up it, up on it baby (Oh yeah)
But you've been feeling it, feeling it lately
What happened to love
Girl, it's as good as it always was
[Wyclef Jean:]
They don't wanna love like this no more
They don't serenade like this no more
They don't wanna get no ring no more
All they want is a Cookie, no ex, no hoes
I ain't gonna put you on the 'Gram exposed
Call me mister big, we can keep it on the low
Bubble bath in the the tub and the lights get dim
My tongue speaks French when I tell you "Je t'aime"
[Wyclef Jean & LunchMoney Lewis:]
You never have to be alone
I swear that you're the only one
You know with me you've found your home
One day girl, we'll be looking back
I'll kiss you then you'll kiss me back
You know you'll never have to ask
[LunchMoney Lewis:]
What happened to love
Girl, it's as good as it always was
What happened to love
Girl, it's as good as it always was (Let's do it)
But you gave on up it, up on it baby (Oh yeah)
But you've been feeling it, feeling it lately
What happened to love
Girl, it's as good as it always was
(If you're having a good time right now, put your hands as high as I can see them)
[Wyclef Jean:]
Hands up like I stick up the place, yeah
Hands up like I stick up the place, yeah
Hands up like I stick up the place
All I do is bring that bass, let's go
Hands up like I stick up the place, yeah
Hands up like I stick up the place, yeah
Hands up like I stick up the place
All I do is bring that bass, let's go
[Wyclef Jean & LunchMoney Lewis:]
You never have to be alone
I swear that you're the only one
You know with me you've found your home
(This is for you, for you and for you girl)
One day girl, we'll be looking back
I'll kiss you then you'll kiss me back
You know you'll never have to ask

Carry On lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Emeli Sandé)
[Wyclef Jean:]
Ladies and Gents
Tune in
To the sound of Wyclef
And Emeli Sandé
[Emeli Sandé:]
Has your heart feel in love with the sad songs
Have your feet fell in love with the edge
Is hope hanging on by a thread now
Does it feel like the angels are dead
When the darkness is too dark to handle
And the bridge won't stop calling your name
Before you blow out any candles
Ohh, let the chorus play
[Emeli Sandé & Wyclef Jean:]
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Won't be long, Won't be long, Won't be long
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
[Wyclef Jean:]
When the angel of death blows the horn
And all earthly possesions are gone
What was once no longer belong
Love is a crown made of thorns
When the eyes of lies see naked truth
And the man of war, ask for a truce
Only then will love conquer hate's feud
And the world will once again will be new
[Emeli Sandé & Wyclef Jean:]
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
(She said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Won't be long, Won't be long, Won't be long
(She said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Won't be long, Won't be long, Won't be long
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
La, la la la, la la la la la
La, la la la, la la la la
Yea, keep going, keep going, keep going
Don't you give up now
Keep going, keep going, keep going
We gon' work it out
(We gon' work it out, I say)
We gon' make it out
(We gon' make it out, here)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Won't be long, Won't be long, Won't be long
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
(He said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Won't be long, Won't be long, Won't be long
(We said)
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on

The Ring lyrics - Wyclef Jean
It's been 7 years, man. I left at the height of my career, man and I'm coming back. It's like I'm starting all over again. It don't matter what I did before, man. This the music business, man. You're only as hot as your last hit. Everybody like, "Yo, can he get another ring?"
100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I get another win
All they wanna know is will I get another ring
The smile in my face, behind my back, they hate us
But like Bernie Mac said, I ain't scared of you motherfuckers
Little Haiti to Sicily, big pondy was a friend to me
Fragile, he call me middley, put me on a track instantly
Caribbean connection put me all the way up
What goes up must go down, so Thugga pick me up
Ay, that's what I call that street cred
Take your chance in the lobby, you gon' meet those old dreads
Chef Creole, make Khaled go back
So far back, boy shottas, man, he had a 6 pack
And I'm back on the tribe on a quest to go hardr
So hard, you gon' think I'm all 3 Carters
Why haters wanna doubt that I'm Luke with the Force
Man, they kids got the scores, screamin' too much hot tours
100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I get another win
All they wanna know is will I get another ring
And the A stand for Alpha and Omega
And the B stand for Bury You, that's what I'm known to do to rappers
C stands for Chance, once you take, regard your shit
DEF, is the squad, boy, read my lips
G is General from Haiti, make my day
I stood in my jeans, in front of that ki
And for me to take a L, it's gon' take MN
What's that? Mother Nature with them strong winds
And oh, my Peace Productions like the Q
As in Quincy when he did that Thriller, Michael Jackson blew
And this is who we are, STU
Abbreviation for the studio, I kill it in the booth
And the V, be very careful when you watchin' shottas
The W could turn to her and that's murder for hire
By the window, light X, don't ask why
I ain't takin' no Zs 'cause the clan's outside
100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I get another win
All they wanna know is will I get another ring
Bean me up Scottie, I'm on that antidote
That Broccoli D.R.A.M gave me got me movin' slow mo
This big, I'm countin' my blessings like I'm Sean
See the Future with my Jimmy Hendrix shades on
Haters wanna doubt and thought that I forgot my scales
That's like I am Mike forgettin' he trainin' high skills
Vic hit me on the Jag, told me he mad
Wiz Khalifa paper plane'll have you feel glad
100 million records, all the work I put in
All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah
Will I rap or will I sing?
All they wanna know is will I get another ring
Oh, I'm a get another ring
Oh, I'm a get another ring
From my mouth to God, yeah
We gon' get another ring, hey
We gon' get another ring
I'm a get another win
We gon' get another ring

Rear View lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Look in the sky
It's no bird, it's no plane, it's just you
Staring in my rear view
Telling me the things that you wan do
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo
Listening to Sade
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo
Everyday should be like new years eve
'Cause when the ball drop girl you de party
Fireworks written in the sky

An emoji with the heart sign
A pint of Guinness when we unwind
Ride the wave you gon' be mine
And then we move into the 69
Look in the sky
It's no bird, it's no plane, it's just you
Staring in my rear view
Telling me the things that you wan do
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo
Listening to Sade
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo
Your body rubbed down
And your ready for de steaming
Ready for de sexual healing
Don't make me wait too long
'Cause the bad boy ready for the action
Ready for the action now, big dog
Ready for the kitty with the meow
Ready for the here and the now
Ready for the queen to be crowned
Look in the sky
It's no bird, it's no plane, it's just you
Staring in my rear view
Telling me the things that you wan do
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo
Listening to Sade
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo
Aww, listening to Sade
Body long like you laying on a stretcher
No pain when papi apply pressure
Mini many position like kama sutra
Like a virgin you can be my Madonna
She's not my computer, no
She so real, I can feel
It's automatic, when she take the wheel
Aw baby, aw baby, aw baby
Look in the sky

Staring in my rear view
Telling me the things that you wan do
Listening to Sade sweetest taboo

[Wyclef Jean:]
Invincible emotion
Look alive, look alive
Surrender to the ocean
You could dive, you could dive
But you waiting for the
Just waiting for the
One moment you could
Fall but you might fly
So you holding on the edge
For dear life
Take a dive, take a dive (dive)

And this is how I know it's right
A fire sign
With diamonds eyes

And this is how I pass the time
Demonized, that you are mine
Can we not press rewind

It's coming in the air tonight

Invincible emotion
I could die, I could die
From your poison and your potions
Every night, Every night
We be waiting for the

One moment we could
Fall but we might fly
So we holding on the edge
One last time
Eh, she takes a dive, takes a dive
That's how she knows it's right
And this is how I know it's right
A fire sign
With diamonds eyes

Don't let this be over
And this is how I pass the time
Between the nights
When you are mine

We need to go back to the way we used to be
Girl I want you back, I want you back, I need you back
We need to go back to the way things used to feel
Boy I want you back, I want you back, I need you back
Erh
I want you back, I want you back, I need you back
[Wyclef Jean:]
We went from lovers
To strangers in the night
They came in uniforms
Sirens and the lights
They ask if you're okay
I just wanna say
I'll never hurt you babe
Just want you to stay
No vibes when you ain't around
Clear botchy you're the jewels in king crown
I reminisce about the fun time
Drink again that's why the sunrise
No vibes when you ain't around
Diamond ring go nice with the king crown
Let's get away and make a lifetime
Silver lining to my lifeline
[T-Baby:]
Oh la la la
I don't know why we always argue 'bout the little things
I don't know if we'll be forever but I hope that we are
Girl, can we forgive each other for the little things
Don't let the little things
Get in the way of our love
(Of our love)
Of our love
(Of our love)
[Wyclef Jean & Allyson Casado:]
Time and time ma fa give but you cheat again (gain)
Tell me how I know that you really changed (changed)
Should I move on from a new friend (friend)
But I can't get my eyes on a new man
Do you like what you see
'Cause I love when you tell me I should put it on you, yeh
And I like what I hear
When you tell me sweat lies that I'm the only one, boy
Imagine that you give me three wishes
The love, the hugs, and the kisses
We pilot the island in the tropics
And that's how you handle the impulses
[T-Baby:]
Oh la la la
I don't know why we always argue 'bout the little things
I don't know if we'll be forever but I hope that we are
Girl, can we forgive each other for the little things
Don't let the little things
Get in the way of our love
[Wyclef Jean:]
Let me talk to the girl them
You the water when fire hurts
You the reason why the empress comes first
On the beach, we release in me fireworks
Breakup, makeup, now let's make this work
[T-Baby:]
Oh la la la
I don't know why we always argue 'bout the little things
I don't know if we'll be forever but I hope that we are
Girl, can we forgive each other for the little things
Don't let the little things
Get in the way of our love
Lady Haiti lyrics - Wyclef Jean
I'm in love with Lady Haiti
And when they called me to the Grammys
I wrapped her flag all around me
Cause I'm in love with Lady Haiti
I'm so in love they call me crazy
I left the music went to Haiti
Even though they tried to stop me
I've seen the earth shake right under her feet
She told me 'baby don't weep'
I'm sitting on Oprah, tears in my eyes
I knew your story ever since a kid
Developed a crush when I heard what you did
1804 you made my people free
You the reason I feel I can be anything
She in the white sand
Under the hot sun, eh
Love when she talking that Creole, eh
Gadé bèl fanm
I'm in love with Lady Haiti
And when they called me to the Grammys
I wrapped her flag all around me
Cause I'm in love with Lady Haiti
I'm so in love they call me crazy
I left the music went to Haiti
Even though they tried to stop me
I'm in love with lady Haiti
Miss Haiti
Miss Haiti
They tried to make you turn on me for real
Said I stole everything that we built
You told me don't bother, the truth's in my eyes
From the bottom of the buck and straight to the top
Every time you around I can feel the clock stop
Despite what they think, we got a chance
Cause we got one last dance
She in the white sand
Under the hot sun, eh
Love when she talking that Creole, eh
Gadé bèl fanm
I'm in love with Lady Haiti
And when they called me to the Grammys
I wrapped her flag all around me
Cause I'm in love with Lady Haiti
I'm so in love they call me crazy
I left the music went to Haiti
Even though they tried to stop me
I'm in love with lady Haiti
Miss Haiti
Miss Haiti
Sakapfèt, Sakapfèt, Sakapfèt
Sakapfèt chéri Ayiti map mandew

I'm in love with Lady Haiti
Miss Haiti
I'm in love with Lady Haiti

Life Matters lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Your life matters
His life matters
Her life matters
Then black life matters
Police life matters
The judge life matters
If human rights matter
Then black lives matter
We need to go back to the truth
Only love can take us back
We need to go back to the truth
Only love can take us back
Harambe life matters
The earth, yes, matters
The universe is shattered
If we all didn't matter
The kids' life matters
Fallen soldiers matter
If human rights matter
Then black life matters
We need to go back to the truth
Only love can take us back
We need to go back to the truth
Only love can take us back
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
(All we need is love) la la la la la la
La la la la la la (all we need is, all we need is love)
Your life matters
His life matters
Her life matters
Then black life matters
If I Was President 2016 lyrics - Wyclef Jean
She say she gon' be the first and the next
To lead the eagle out the nest
The man say he gon' build a wall
And have Mexico pay for it all
And there's riots every week
Their uniforms blue and the peoples on the streets
And everyone's living on their knees
Cause you could be the next one walking with the dead
If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
And on Monday everybody goes back to work
Its just an ordinary day
Hey
But I could be the president, and you could be the president
And she could be the president, and we could be the president
Her t-shirt says "Black Lives Matter"
The media is screaming all lives matter
Charlie got a gun up in his hands
Walk up into the school and then you hear the bang bang
And Suzanna from Alabama can't walk no more
Cause she lost two legs in a war
And the USA ain't looking for the peace
All y'all got to do is smoke a little bit of weed
They don't want me to tell you about the secrecy
They don't want me to tell you about the conspiracy
They want to put a hole in my head like Kennedy
If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
And on Monday everybody goes back to work
Its just an ordinary day
Hey
But I could be the president, and you could be the president
And she could be the president, and we could be the president
If I was president
Kiss The Sky (Acoustic) lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shottas in the basement party
Turned into the greatest party
Never seen my baby coming
Just one hit and we went up
Am I in love or tripping
Now I feel my body drifting
Baby girl, she got me lifted
Am I addicted?
She's so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She's so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Popping, knocking when I met you
Shorty had the long extensions
Told her I'm a bad man
But I only got the best intentions
Rougher, tougher, not a bluffer
I want you to be my lover
We don't have to take it undercover
Just under the covers
Bells are ringing, people singing
Rice is throwing, flower bringing
Ting a ling a ling
The honeymoon is when we going in
I take you to a place that you didn't even know exist
What's your wish
Dinner at the Eiffel tower in Paris, yeah
Shottas in the basement party
Turned into the greatest party
Never seen my baby coming
Just one hit and we went up
Am I in love or tripping
Now I feel my body drifting
Baby girl, she got me lifted
Am I addicted?
She's so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She's so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Jaw dropping when she walking
Kinda thing that happen often
More than just a little happy
Shuttin' down a city block
The latest gear is what she wear
You see that stunner in her ear
Fashion week all year
Throwin' money in the air
I'm just happy with my lady
Other girls they wanna hate her
It come with the territory
Ball players wanna date her
All we got is loyalty
I'm treating you like royalty
I'ma spoil you every day of the week
Shottas in the basement party
Turned into the greatest party
Never seen my baby coming
Just one hit and we went up
Am I in love or tripping
Now I feel my body drifting
Baby girl, she got me lifted
Am I addicted?
She's so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She's so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Oh, oh
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Oh, oh, oh
She's so fly
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
She's so high
Excuse her while she kiss the sky
Excuse her while she kiss the sky

Hendrix (Acoustic) lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Ehh
Ey
Oh I'm a do this one for my homies gone
The judge hit the hammer they ain't coming home
We all are from the danger zone
The devil pulled the card and he said choose one
I chose music, my homies chose yay
Some of my ballers chose the NBA
Cuzzo's on the block, man they gang bang
Funeral parlors makin' all the change
Yeah when my cousin got his first tec
I was playing Jimi Hendrix in the basement
All I wanted to be was a rock star
And all he wanted to be was an Escobar
El Chapo
El Chapo
All he wanted to do was be El Chapo
El Chapo
El Chapo
All he wanted to do was be El Chapo,
Gone 'til November, he ain't comin' back
I was talking bout my homies man that sold crack
Caught in the trap, hit from the back
They hid the steel
Like the owl boy that's hidden on the dollar bill
Welcome to the rotten apple
The city of lights
No matter how days shine
They can't steal the nights
Cause when the ghost knock knock
Just before you guess, red dot at your chest
The Eagles raid the cuckoos nest
Better be with them artillery packs
They be jumping like Jack when they jump out the box
Ratatatata that's the sound of the gat
They be flying through the air like vampire bat
Straight from the back when they attack
In the middle o' night when you up in the trap
You keep on bucking, they bucking you back
In the middle of bucking somebody get flat
Oh I'm a do this one for my homies gone
The judge hit the hammer they ain't coming home
We all are from the danger zone
The devil pulled the card and he said choose one
I chose music, my homies chose yay
Some of my ballers chose the NBA
Cuzzo's on the block, man they gang bang
Funeral parlors makin' all the change
Yay
When my cousin got his first tec
I was playing Jimi Hendrix in the basement
All I wanted was to be a rock star
And all he wanted to be was an Escobar
El Chapo
El Chapo
All he wanted to do was be El Chapo
El Chapo
(All I do is practice
When he bought me that guitar I felt like Prince the artist
When my cousin got his first tat
Acoustic trappin' in the basement
All I wanted was to be a rock star
And all he wanted to be was an Escobar)
When my cousin got his first tec
I was playing Jimi Hendrix in the basement
All I wanted was to be a rock star
And all he wanted to be was an Escobar
Ne Me Quitte Pas lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
(Ah-ah)
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
(Feel me)
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
(Ah-ah)
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le cœur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
(Don't leave me)
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
(Listen to my guitar)
Moi je t'offrirai
(Ah-ah)
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
(Ah-ah)
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
(Ah-ah)
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas
(Don't leave me)
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
(Listen to my guitar)
Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs cœurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
(Don't leave me)
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
(Listen to my guitar)
Yeah, on a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D'un ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas
(Don't leave me)
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
(Don't leave me)
And If you ever left me
My days go dark
CPR, eclipse of the heart
From the start we made the vows of never depart
Until our flesh becomes dust
We return to Gods
Let's toast to our future
Ne me quitte pas
Baby I want to believe you
So make love to you knight
Cellos in your ears
Your chance to set your moon rise
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Haitian V Intro lyrics - Wyclef Jean
(performed by Hatian V)
If I was president
Way...
Yea so... I walking through the MacDonald's, right?
I go for a 10 piece chicken macnugget and a large spirit soda
But that gyal
She said hey buddy is it rappin?
I don't know what that mean but...
She said hey buddy is it rappin because I knew Wyclef
To get him, to help him, to make him go to the top
I said listen lady, okay?
Wyclef not even rappin no more, okay?
He don't even do that no more
You don't see what he was doing, he's naked on a motorcycle
You know, with grease
He don't look good
And then, I leave there
I go to the corner store
All the people, they're there
And then they played their music
Yes, that is a new album, I saw her blush
What is that?
That people shit was millie
So I guess I have to check it to see what Wyclef is doing
But I know he can't have all the Haitian people
He can have some... not all
He even turn me down
He tell me – you don't have a record bill for me
I say I'm going to the top, you 2 be plotting again
Youtube see Diamond like Carlos Santana
Madonna, you want to see a diamond like that?
Sign me man
Peace out, call you back
He never call me, no
He's a pork, a bum, okay
So next time he call me I say shut your fuck up
Pork!
Bugatti Freestyle lyrics - Wyclef Jean
You see Future? I'm the Haitian
Top shelf, now we Jamaicans
My crew got ammunition
We only fire when it's revolution
I woke up in that new McLaren
I woke up in that new McLaren
I woke up in that new McLaren
I woke up in that new McLaren
Let's go!
First time I came in the bizz I got noticed
Was way back with the Fugees, Haitians have made it
Admit it, you sold over 18 mill records
Instead they thought I'd be another like them
At the end they be rockin, the whip they pick
My nigga with em or leave em but I say last
It's hard to beat this, I got carnivore hits
I got hip-hop out, I want you falling which is
Falling which, first hip-hop album
Four languages to go 4 time climbin
What did I miss? Out in Queens
Hustle my make-up, mata le vous?
Talk Italian to them niggas
Happy bout that, you see all leavin
But I ain't satisfied
Another rap, talk with the text, it's Destiny Child
In the remix, Haley, Beyonce
Oh no no no
On your playlist
Benjamin Ivy hit me on the wires
He brought a young girl by the name of Maya
So I put her on the track, ghetto superstars
With the old dirty bastard
That brought you up, definitely had one
Then I got the call from Fat Joe with ping pon
They doin a song, do I wanna speak son?
Hell yeah, Caribbean connection
Foes and enemies meaning the same in the dictionary, the same Pictionary
All you see is the cemetery
Army ready for Apache, kamikaze, however they wanna come and see me
Orlando XE, I keep artillery
Just in case they wanna come and get my niggas
That makes you the perfect target
Wake up or Mr. Nobody wrapped up like mummies and lookin like this
This is what haters we pray for the most
All I do is laugh,
Think of the past, I was playing in the studio, I'm playing in cracks
So when I say I'll miss you Michael
This isn't bout a chance to meet one of my idols
Damn, what a journey
The music in this juke
Clark David gave me a call
Said you'll return for Whitney
Whitney Houston Dub Plate lyrics - Wyclef Jean
[Whitney Houston:]
Yo, this is Whitney Houston
Yes massive this is the original vocalist
If tomorrow is Judgement Day
And I'm standing on the front line
Um, and the Lord asks me what I did with my life
I would say: "Wyclef murdered a sound boy"
If I wake up in World War III
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I wanna go home
It's okay, as long as Wyclef is with me
My sound is your sound
Cause the refugee sound is your sound.
It would take an eternity to break us
And a million sound boys will die before us
They hands down, it's alright
It's not a riot but it's okay
Wyclef kills some boys every day
Refugee sound, that's all we need
To all sound boys – back away and leave
[Outro:]
Welcome to the April Showers mixtape
I couldn't start this without sayin RIP to Whitney Houston forever
New Jersey, we in here
Hip Hop lyrics - Wyclef Jean
[Intro:]
Refugee public, Akon, and on and on
All hands on deck
Can I go in for a minute?
Cause there's no limit to the Cash Money Hip Hop game
[Hook 1:]
Things done changed but they stay the same
I see molly is the new cocaine
I see them rappers with them big gold chains
Remind me of the Slick Rick rings
And Rakim was the microphone fiend
And Bobby Brown was the RnB king
Yeah, now every rapper wanna bang
What happen to the days we were all in the same gang?
[Verse 1:]
Missy and Timbaland, original dubstep
And Bambaataa had our future on tape deck
Man, my daughter is seven I had to put her in check
And let her know that K.R.S.
Is more than letters in the alphabets
She's Will.I.Am'ing with her mommy
She's like: "Dad, let me teach you how to dougie"
Things done changed but they stay the same
I'm bumping Nas in the Range down memory lane
Talib, Mos Def, PE bought them lectures
My first music video Rakim, I was the extra
Run DMC ran rap, now run's a preacher
And we all are poor righteous teachers
Krush grooving, body moving
Rhazel, Doug E. Fresh, Biz Mark had me beat boxin
And Kim, Foxy and Eve are all warriors
Ya MC Lytes, ya not B's, ya'll Queen Latifah's
Looks... pretty Nicki's in Ibiza
And every fella had a crush on Salt N Peppa
She so Naughty By Nature, Long.Live.A$AP
Written on a Wolf Gang back pack
[Hook 2:]
Things done changed but they stay the same
I see molly is the new cocaine
Yeah I see the rappers man poppin' champagne
Them Beasty Boys that Rick Rubin
And Big L was the lyrical king, and Bobby Brown was the rnb king
And we all wanted to be Russell Simmons
What happened to the day when we were all in the same gang?
[Verse 2:]
Yeah my young cousins rock Chief Keef tattoos
They say Easy E, what an attitude
I'm talking Cypress Hill, I'm talking Ice Cube
I'm talking Ice-T, Dr Dre, Snoop
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Crucial conflict
Twista, Tech N9ne, flipped it this way
I'm talking from back in the day in the bay
Keak Da Sneak and the homie Mack Dre
They should have made a hip-hop dictionary written by E-40
Red & Meth, Keith Murray, Kanye, Trick Daddy, Too $hort
Flo ridin' with a Pitbull, Miami going crazy
Bambi, Pimp C, UGK, Master P
Had me listening to the south in a new way
And I miss Outkast like people miss the Fugees
And there's a Birdman watching over New Orleans
And Scarface never seen a thug cry
Till he seen his Dogg Nate singin' hooks from the sky
[Hook 3:]
Things done changed but they stay the same
I see molly is the new cocaine
I see them rappers with the big gold chains
LL Cool J Ja, Irv, Murder Inc Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Link
We all wanted 5 mics in The Source magazine
French Montana at the Red Café
Wiz Khalifa rol the paper up 'we're all in the same gang'
[Verse 3:]
When I hear Waka, I hear ODB slang
I'm talking Wu Tang, Raekwon, 2Chainz
EPMD remind me of them Coke boys
And Joey Bada$$'s, Uncle Murda, boys
Grandmaster Flash red alert, I'm talking Kool Herc
Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince brought it to suburbs
And hip hop will never be the same
Since Eminem lost Proof and Heavy's out the game
We still immortal with the technique, making good music
But the tables ain't been the same since Jam Master used it
And Common used to love her and her 2Live Crew
Cause she stuck to her roots and let the DJ Screw
From Busta, Jay, Meek Mills to Tip to Quik
Kendrick Lamar, Luda, Ross, Wayne and Drake
50, Future & Game, Tribe Quest, Wale
And if we miss you, Puff Daddy do the remix
[Hook 4:]
Things done changed but they stay the same
I see molly is the new cocaine
A new Jesus piece with Chris Lighty's name
Biggy and Pac, East and West Coast kids
Mary J Blige, RnB queen
G-Unit, Ruff Ryders, Mobb Deep, DMX
Lox, Dipset, and we all in same game
Lyor Cohen
Hip-Hop

Kick Knowledge lyrics - Wyclef Jean
[Intro:]
I'm a aks the new generation a question

How many ya'll wanna be the Kick Knowledge?
Show your hands, show you hands
[Hook:]

Pursued my dreams, started making beats
Ready or not, here I come, I'm with them Refugees
Young and down, I'm in the club
Gold chain, gold ring, the girlie luv them thugs
We poppin mollies, this is how we do
Middle finger at them haters, who the fuck are you?

[Hook:]
Kick Knowledge, young and down
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
[Verse 2:]
Young and down, I got 50 bitches
I keep them hoes in the block, see them bitches trickin

Got me paranoid, who they gonna shoot next?
[Bridge:]

Kick Knowledge, I see you rap children
Before you buy the car, ya'll need to buy the building
'Cause time gon come you gonna make that cake
And you gotta fall back on that realestate
Young and down, see my gold fronts

[Hook:]
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
[Verse 4:]
Young and down, I'm selling coke

On the block you know fiends come by the dozen
You know we sell our yay from the night to the morning
Kick Knowledge, Martin Luther King
He barely slept, but he had a dream
I'm from Haiti so ya'll know I rep true celeboture
First black republic, 18-04
[Hook:]
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

I landed in Chicago, everybody loves sosa
The youth in the street told me
We love you when shotters
Chicago, shoot first, think last
That's still my deal on the street now
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Shoot first, think last
That's still my deal on the street now
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Goons like ragatang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Chicago got that bang, bang, bang
It's a bang, bang, bang
Goons like ragatang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Welcome to Chicago, where the ghost of Al Capone roams the streets
And the kids they carry heat, and they hungry for the feast
And the dogs will do, whatever it takes to eat,
Even if they gotta put your kids to permanent sleep
They boys, they shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Goons walk around like orangutans
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Yea, bang, bang, bang
At the mall it's a bang bang bang
Street corner it's a bang bang bang
Even in front of the church they bang, bang, bang
God knows, seen the movie Shakas, I've been richy yes
But on these streets, I know the real richy yes
I got some of my homies, they won't see the next 30 summers
They got them in the cage, somewhere down under
Them boys, they used to
Shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
If you wanna get the blood from them eyes show them love
Yeah, show them love
Wanna get the blood out they eyes show them love
Yeah, show the youth love
Wanna get the blood out they eyes show them love
Yeah, show the youth love
Yeah, just a little love, all they need is love
'Cause he grew up with no papa.
Glow Of A Rose lyrics - Wyclef Jean
[Chorus:]
And if my life is like the dust
Uh... that hides... the glow of a rose
What good am I?
(The glow of a rose)
Heaven only knows
[Verse 1:]
I was told no good deed goes unpunished
So I'm sittin here thinkin, is my name tarnished?
Public perception is everything
Even the one call they suits, face the crucifixion
So who am I?
I got the bunch of kids that's ready to die (die die die)
Like it launches on the other side (side side side)
But I rather see a million march than see a million genocide
But when you wake up, you take off
You wanna get kicked up
He got to see, no she ready sick up
Look at his face, he got blood in his eyes
The SWAT they pull up and put 3 in the side
He's there before a G need a alibi
Better yet he need a lawyer conquering on the side
Down at the west side
At the house, blue wearing black and they throwing up gang signs
Don't it feel good to see all the gangs in the same place?
We might have different colored flags but we the same race
Mention the government with the same face
75% incarcerate
[Chorus:]
And if my life is like the dust
Uh... that hides... the glow of a rose
What good am I?
(Who am I?)
Heaven only knows
[Verse 2:]
I was told that my flesh will turn back to dust
So while I'm laying on this bed there's a few things we should discuss
I know I haven't been the best man
But I was tempted in the garden of Eden by the serpent
But I'm your man for mouth to mouth resuscitation
And if you need blood, call me transfusion
I'd rather be carried 6 than betray, this yo love so honest
She looked in my eyes and say don't mistake my kindness for weakness
Next day wake up and the music in the street
Peer pressure to sniff cocaine, ecstasy, molly
Sure I felt the sense for night trap then the devil's road
And I got family member in rehab, tryna kick the habit in coke
So when I said permanent and permanent permanent one
That's 'cause I came from the ghetto, ain't a vision of one
So sure you'd understand, you're my inspiration
We gon live past cremation
[Chorus:]
And if my life is like the dust
Uh... that hides... the glow of a rose
What good am I?
(What good am I?)
Heaven only knows
Let me play the guitar like it's my last day on earth
[Guitar solo]
The Pullover - The PoPo lyrics - Wyclef Jean
Alright, all you fuckin niggas out the car now
Officer, we are not niggas
Listen, ever since I seen Django all you motherfuckers are niggas to me
Niggas niggas niggas
What the fuck you boys smoking in that car?
Officer, it's not about what we smoking
We have a marijuana card
Mhm!
You got a marijuana card, huh?
Let me get to pull it at you
Dispensery lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Mobb Deep)
[Hook:]
What we gonna do when we get to Cali?
We gonna by ourself a marijuana ID
So when LAPD come and stop we
We can show em our marijuana ID
Then back to Chetaburg after New York City
And tell Bloomberg I want the ganja ID
So when NYPD stop me
I can show them my marijuana ID
Out in the hood we stay, the legislation say
We can our list to watch it's on a switch in every day
Out in Jamaica yo, we burnin every day
More lit to us and it's straightly the highest grade
Kush aka indica
Plants from Afghanistan and India
The same seed they used to lock the nation
The same seed we use to treat the patients
The same kush they grow in Mumbai
That's the same kush, man they sellin on the south side
She say she want legal kush every month
So she payin like 24 100 chunks
Yea, it's slowin down my membrane
I'm on that Snoop kush, so plane
In the Maybach she call me ganja boss
Supreme kush, Diana Ross
What we gonna do when we get to Cali?
We gonna by ourself a marijuana ID
Then check Bloomberg in New York City
Then go up in Queens and pick up Mobb Deep
Yo P
Queens brish down in Utica
Blaze more fire than Lucifer
Got my people serving time up in Attica
Fightin with officers, stay smoking marijuana
3 years in them box and I'm still blazed
OG kush, purple haze
Montego Bay, blue skies
Shaka boy, them bloodshot eyes
Tear it up then we smoke it up
After that keep rolling up
Til the police start showin up
Smoke alarm start blowing up
What we gonna do when we get to Cali?
We gonna by ourself a marijuana ID
Then we go back to New Jersey
Smoke some weed with governor Christie
Then check Bloomberg in New York City
Then go up in Queens and pick up Mobb Deep
I need that Acapulco, go get me that ganja black
Just landed 30000 feet, wanna be high as that
How is that? Fire back on you little lames
I got copter, even then I'm switchin planes
JFK to LA, homie I'm off
Just cop that marijuana hottie, give a fuck but I'm cautious
Police whilin, now we stylin in them Bentleys and Raris
Lookin young in the face so you know they gon carve me
My hobby got em hatin
My goons in here, they Haitian
My pocket filled with faces, shorty ass is goodness gracious
My liquor, I don't chase it
That was back when shit was basic
Shit so strong that niggas smoke
You would think that we just spaced it
Yo Clef what nigga doin when we land cause I'm impatient
[Hook:]
What we gonna do when we get to Cali?
We gonna by ourself a marijuana ID
So when LAPD come and stop we
We can show em our marijuana ID
4-20, we at the 4-20
Mobb Deep with the 4-20
Wyclef general at the 4-20
Easy Mr. Flock with the dispensary
From Colorado back to Cali...
Trap N Roll lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Waka Flocka Flame with Angelica Salem)
[Intro:]
There's been a whole lot of superstars on the stage tonight
But when Wyclef and Waka Flocka get together
Put that electric guitar against that trap music
We call it trap n roll baby
[x4:]
Wyclef, what's that sound?
Waka Flocka coming down
With flags in, blowin clouds
(And you know it's super loud)
You you you you you know
[Bridge:]
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Trap n roll
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
You you you you you know
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Trap n roll
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Go ahead, bring em out
[Hook:]
Trap n roll, we gonna hit you with this trap n roll
That's when we basin, we go rock n roll
That ain't the way to make em lose control
Here we go, I'm talkin trap n roll
Get them girls all on the floor,
Act a fool, gon act a fool
Act a fool, gon act a fool
Act a fool, gon act a fool
We can do a rockin beat
Act a fool, act a fool
[Verse:]
When I came to America – under pressure
Teenage shoplifter, came up, started things
8 balls, dope fiend
Like bone thugs I'm checkin em out
You know it's the 1st of the month
And they know I'm with it
'Cause they talk about it in the club
Man in the mirror, air guitar
One dream, ghetto superstar
But they never had a plan that could take me up
I'm a MacGyver, I'm the nuisance, bitch them out
Yup, chosen in the rule
Dark side of the moon, came into the light
So let's toast tonight, glasses up
As you fill them right, it turn up my guitar
My guitar, my guitar
My guitar, my guitar
My guitar, my guitar
Wait a minute now
[Hook:]
Trap n roll, we gonna hit you with this trap n roll
That's when we basin, we go rock n roll
That ain't the way to make em lose control
Here we go, I'm talkin trap n roll
Get them girls all on the floor,
Act a fool, gon act a fool
Act a fool, gon act a fool
Act a fool, gon act a fool
We can do a rockin beat
Act a fool, act a fool
[Verse:]
To the what down my block
With teen niggas sellin crack rocks
So they sold the trap spots
Dodged a pin and I get shot
Outraged, I'm caller, talk to cops
Stick together like dread locks
Keep the doors up
Waka Flocka, that's hip-hop
I'm up here and make a phone in the m box
My mama base but I ain't have a boat
If I ain't have a name just splittin pain
Shut the fuck up, we're number one on every track
Under that track, on the pop truck
Talkin number one, call clip the rock
My vocals green, make a forest dream
As I shoot plains in H dream
I got away, my enemies
Welcome to stat, you ain't Raekwon
Told me king push it, boy go hard
Busta Rhymes told me keep runnin
This gon pay off, I keep grindin
Even in the dark I'm still shinin
Gangsta and it's God plan
Then I call a fiend for losing hand
[Hook:]
Trap n roll, we gonna hit you with this trap n roll
That's when we basin, we go rock n roll
That ain't the way to make em lose control
Here we go, I'm talkin trap n roll
Get them girls all on the floor,
Act a fool, gon act a fool
Act a fool, gon act a fool
Act a fool, gon act a fool
We can do a rockin beat
Act a fool, act a fool
[x4:]
Act a fool, act a fool
Act a fool, trap n roll
Act a fool, act a fool
Act a fool, you you you know
Open Letter FreeStyle lyrics - Wyclef Jean
[Intro:]
Action Chip told me finish that cheese first boy
Okay!
Turn up my guitar
Ladies and gentlemen
First hip-hop guitarist
Oh ya'll gonna learn
Goddamn
I found my balance again
Wyclef the general, turn up
Hip-hop guitarist, stay on my Jimi Hendrix
[Verse 1:]
If Tenor Saw was here he'd say
Ticky ticky tock on my golden hen
She layin next to this gentlemen
Sometimes Glock 9, sometimes mac-10
Turn me up
Whenever she lay, she sing a sweet song
Coot coot coot, coot lay low
Hey, it's time to teach 'em bro
Hey, they got to learn bro
Real talk Jay, I was with Bill Clinton
On a Air Force One headed down to my island
I'm the one they boarded when they wanted to keep the peace
United nations know the gangs would listen to me
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie brought them out to Haiti
This is before the earthquake's on your TV's
Used to go to DC, see Nancy Pelosi
I spoke in front of congress fighting for my country
But once I decided that I'm a run for president
My whole life changed in a split second
Now I understand the hidden outlaw on the dollar
They never let a nigga that had a power
In the final hour I'm with Wolf Blitzer on CNN
Then felt my constitution got twisted with Sean's penn
Even my bandmate said I wasn't fit
But I can see the future, Nostradamus
They took me out the race said I had no resident
But I'm so powerful I made my man the president
Lost 20 mill when I decided to run
But I'm a make it all back with my next album
Who God bless man no man can curse
How worse can it get, man I used to eat dirt...
Hip-hop guitarist
Hip-hop guitarist, stay on my Jimi Hendrix
Ya'll gon learn
[Verse 2:]
In the hood they used to call me
The baddest with a Venezuelan flow, Hugo Chavez
Everything I say know gotta make sense
Cause I be gone with the wind
Now I understand the mathematics of the one
When they say there's nothing new under the sun
Ain't no illuminati here they just tryna scare you here
Cause if we ever join forces we be nuclear
I made the labels rich now it's time to build an empire
Then I'm a retire cause even the Pope gets tired
They call me general, canons hit your walls
Two kings can't reign, one gotta fall
And that's Rom for you, that's streets for you
Everybody got a set of goons ready to get you
And them same goons that's ready to kill for you
Twelve disciples, somebody Judas
Somebody snitching, giving information
Then it's immigration, then it's deportation back on a island
This is more then a run on sentence
My raps are true life events
The general man I'm back with the info
Did you know a haitian was the founder of Chicago?
Jean Baptiste if you wanna Google search up a haitian on the map
All y'all do is Google earth
From Haiti landed on Flatbush
From Flatbush walk to New Jersey
New Jerusalem, I'm talkin brick city
Not many like me in the semi treaty
From movin brick in the Brick City
Brick City and the brick city
[Outro:]
[?]
Haitians
April Showers, go
All hands on deck, refugee republic
I stay on my Jimi Hendrix
