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
Always wanna, switch face negga
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
[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)

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
