Yacht Club lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Skiff)

[Intro:]

Yalready know what it is man

Yo, I gotta leave ya'll with some 90's hiph-hop

I mean this kid right here, he influences 90's hip-hop man, you know?

But he only like 20 some, you know what I mean?

I don't know how you get in em like that

So right now we gonna get it some of our men

This kid got mad vibes man

Go by the name of Skiff, you know what I mean

Classic hip-hop

Ya'll know what it is man, April Shower

Hope you enjoyed the tape, look out for the album

Yo Sydec, what the album called again?

The Carnival Begins

Como you hear a lot about it, no?

The Carnival Begins

Yo, what's the name of the album?

The Carnival Begins

Ladies and gents, change in talk yea

The abyss scary, alright

Dressed like I'm headed to a yacht club social

Fresh, fresh, fresh to death

Dressed like I'm headed to a yacht club social

Fresh, fresh, fresh to death

[Verse 1:]

Hanging out with tax evaders, white collar criminals

Chemist dudes, making money off illegal chemicals

Welcome to my yacht club, naked women, hot tubs

Come and get your membership

Remember just to pop up

Bomberdering with members of parliament while I'm partying no arguing

The hardest regardless whenever harboring

Hanging out with socialist, smoking over some poker chips

Motor boats and tits, frozen wrists, get a load of this, fantastic

I'm back in the building to bag shit

White on white like the Utah jazz in practice

I'm taking shots on Dodge, you hang with cops on blocks

I got women on top on women, talking bout your bop

[Hook: x2]

Wish life was like a yacht club,

Every woman I'm getting, how can you stop us

We got judges on budget, not getting locked up

We don't wanna work a 9 to 5

[Verse 2:]

Mister Enthusiastic, I keep a doobie wrapped with

Hit boobie traps to a cutie's ass, when I move in traffic

New is the fabric, I've been established, truly the baddest,

Designer issues, my women coming with Louie baggage

With politicians, their mission is product driven

Man giving the situation, the bacon the prolly given

If they lot are wearing daughtersmy target's near open waters

Overall into parlor, but ballin so they applaud us

Sippin on foreign lagers, harvested at a mugging

Don't park it, you gotta jock it, the carpet matches my watch

I'm a star on the yacht, that's a motherfuckin spaceship

Wasted, double deck better let the pain drip

I'm rockin sandals when it's hot, it's the land of sinnin hammocks when others panic,

But damn that I've been managing

Fresh, fresh, fresh to death

[Hook: x2]

Wish life was like a yacht club,

Every woman I'm getting, how can you stop us

We got judges on budget, not getting locked up

We don't wanna work a 9 to 5

[Verse 3:]

Up in some turbulence, they well cultivated the courteous

The verdict is suburban and urban persons are both conferment

I'm furnace in this bitch, now just picture me turning it, permanent

How many people wanna ride tonight?

Talking big bucks bitch, like the sender from Milwaukee

Barclay's, when they putting liquor in my coffee

Drinkin sake, playin batchi, back and a little bit of hockey

Cocaine with some Jose Cuevo, careful what you don't say copy

Your chick to the video anthem, my shit that's real live action

Buy ships, no projects, my process is taking over rapid

Open bar you could buy yourself, go ahead, there by yourself

Making hots for the higher self

I'm cycled up, for harness you can't buy the belt

Policies, no apologies, all commodities are covered

Don't gotta fee quite possibly, I'm leaving with your girl

I know, I know, they hate the way you down

I don't even own a ship, I got waiters all around

[Hook: x2]

Wish life was like a yacht club,

Every woman I'm getting, how can you stop us

We got judges on budget, not getting locked up

We don't wanna work a 9 to 5

Aye tell yo lady quit lookin

I got that kush from a breakfast, with a side of OJ

Big booty, nice smile on a freak bitch

That's my weakness, niggas sneak diss

We can't tell some free mail so get air

Aye all the real niggaz feel it

[Outro:]

You know who yo friend or yo foe,

Man that's some real talk right there man

Jordan Blue, respect!

The Smack Movement Continues lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Murda Mook ,Loaded Lux and Smack White)

[Intro:]

Yea, real nigga talk

Ain't just a motherfuckin phrase

It's a motherfuckin lifestyle

Brrrrrrrap!

[Bridge:]

If you got your firearms in your hands

But your gun found safety

Fight, everybody came to fight

Everybody came to fight, everybody came to fo fo fo fo fight

If you got your firearms in your hands

But your gun found safety

Fight, everybody came to fight

Everybody came to fight, but your gun found safety

[Verse 1:]

I'm a Harlem nigga, blood line AZ, Al Porter

Niggas can't fuck with me like the massive daughter

I hit the strip, all the fiends know my name

I have the old school coke, I call it Novocain

You be Uncle Fester, light on your brain

And I'm Morticia the way a nigga hold a thing

I could have them fancy cars and them two's on

I rather have my fucking crown made out of thorns

Crucify me to God, you can try me

Come back three days later thinking they moved the body

Took my spirit form, them boys ignored him

They didn't heath the warning, now the wrath pouring on 'em

I do this for my niggas sitting on them corners

Can't get a job, felonies forever haunt them

Niggas talk warring, kicking down your door in

Till them joints draw 'em and then they all turn mourning

[Hook: x2]

If you got your firearms in your hands

But your gun found safety

Fight, everybody came to fight

Everybody came to fight, everybody came to fo fo fo fo fight

[Verse 2:]

The nickel-less, broke niggas used to a little bit

Ignorant to the dollar

Piggy back, let you follow, mama slipped into pink

Leaving pick up, she can't

All the working in the world and ain't got shit in the bank

What you think?

Shit is real, real niggas know how I feel

As your arm broad your carve knife, you ain't got skill

You buzzing, that's nothing, they fireflies

I swat them all, I'm a slaughterhouse full of cow hide

You put nothing in the box, with biscuits and hot fries

Your son gonna see chicken when he look in his pop eyes

This shit is suicide, being we, we unified

One nigga go down, get us all crucified

I know the struggle when niggas hustle to stay alive

Governor ran off, fuck it then, we creating jobs

I lay the odds to the table, labels be playing God

But it was Jesus who took the water and made it wine

Oh, I get it, fresh home, used to switching leathers

Your man told you I'm a bring it better, it's whatever

Hit the jet, hidden compartment to fit the leather

You might pick that bat up, but never pick your head up

I hope you get your spit together, get your shit together

Yeah, you won't go from doing music to a missing record

[Hook: x2]

If you got your firearms in your hands

But your gun found safety

Fight, everybody came to fight

Everybody came to fight, everybody came to fo fo fo fo fight

[Verse 3:]

Like my man said, we pull up on them 24's

Jet black, tinted, staying at the Bentley doors

In the club rose and Henney pour

The whole section drunk, we gonna need 20 more

We hit the Louis store, all I know is gimme, gimme

I recognize a fake nigga, vision 20-20

Popping Magnum V-12 engine, hear me, hear me

Beyonce face on once cent, that's a pretty penny

They say them Harlem niggas pretty boy Floyd with the hand action

Thorough borough bread, but I ain't your man... hattan

Every bar he go hard, candy cracking

Go mami, I'm an Eddie Murphy movie, you on a roll, I played everybody

The gang rewind, the thugs love,

The ladies vibe, the thugs love, the ladies fall

I feel at home in my city, that state of mind

[Hook: x2]

If you got your firearms in your hands

But your gun found safety

Fight, everybody came to fight

Everybody came to fight, everybody came to fo fo fo fo fight

Sound boy barrier

It's gonna be a sound boy barrier

All Day All Night - Ric Atari lyrics - Wyclef Jean

[Intro:]

All day, all night, all day, alright

All day, all night, all day, uh, alright

[Verse 1:]

All my niggas is trill as fuck,

I was born in the trap game real as fuck

On the way to the top can't fuck this up

Put too much work in, did too much dirt then

Turn around to the tree, make a motherfucking Motown

How a nigga gonn slow down? Feds ridin at nigga

Hope you on the right dream when the shit go down

Oh you actin like a hoe now, well go and lay on your back, back, back

I'm from the ATL, where we stay up all day and all night

To get the stacks, stacks, stacks

[Hook: x2]

All day (all day), all night (all night)

No time for that bullshit, we gonn celebrate

Black tree in this bitch, go on have a beer, cheers nigga

So stop with a nigga never sold a soul, with a new regime, we in overload

Pop that belly ring to that trap n roll

If you love me baby catch me on the road

The young city, you already know what's with me

Light skin biggy

Smoking on the O with the Acapulco flow

But that guy just barely drink

Haitian Experience lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 Yeah, now I'm a rock-star, it started with my imagination

Used to gaze at the twins before the birds hit 'em

Daydream about the God, my axe, my Excalibur

A man, who just saw the future beyond the dishwater

Yeah, cab driver used to gyspy cab rider

But she stuck with me when I had nothin', so I had to wife her

And I used write these thoughts on a black and white notebook

Haitian experience, now I'm a page in a book

I'm a Haitian, Haitian

When I landed in America, 'Merica

I got myself a green card, green card

Mamma say, if I ever break the law, they gon' send me back home

This is my Haitian experience

First stop out in England, England

Immigration send me back to Washington, Washington

Said I need a visa if I wanted to be in the United Kingdom

I pray that the Queen of Buckingham is listening

Your Highness, I got a palace out in Port Au Prince

I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land

But I can't go back and see my people in the ticks

I'm a Haitian in America

When papa first got his green card, worked seven jobs in America

Then he came and got me from Haiti, told me I had one chance

To make it in America

In the legal Valley and lookin' for work in Manhattan in America

My papa was a Haitian, Haitian

He got to America, 'Merica

On a six month visa, visa

When the visa expired, he went underground like rats in the sewer

This is the Haitian experience

Runnin' from the Immigration interrogation

But his vision was his chosen

(How you gon' get us to New York?)

Absolute lost and at sea and never see the airport

Yeah, I pray that the President is up there listenin'

Your Excellence, I got a palace out in Port Au Prince

I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land

So we go move from detention, we go, we build the land

I'm a Haitian in America

When papa first got his green card, worked seven jobs in America

Then he came and got me from Haiti, told me I had one chance

To make it in America

So I learned to play guitar with dreams of becomin' a rock star

(In America)

(I'm a Haitian)

I'm a Haitian in America

When papa first got his green card, worked seven jobs in America

Then he came and got me from Haiti, told me I had one chance

To make it in America

In the legal Valley and lookin' for work in Manhattan in America

What we gon' do right now is we gon' go back

Way back

To what I call Lassie

The roots, the Haitian experience

Let's go

Look in her eyes, she will survive

She smiles like she's in love

She's 21, she lost her feedin' arms

But she ain't lose her soul, dancin' outta control

Like Angelina Ballerina

Like Angelina Ballerina

Like Angelina Ballerina

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Yes, I'm a Haitian in America

When papa first got his green card, worked seven jobs in America

Then he came and got me from Haiti, told me I had one chance

To make it in America

In the legal Valley and lookin' for work in Manhattan in America

Man, I just got on a plane leavin' Haiti

And I landed in Brooklyn, New York City, Cooney Island

Marlboro Projects, man, in projects, it's so rough to blend in

I learned to how to rock, sing, dance, pop, loc, whatever it took

[?]

Yeah, that's my dad, a Haitian livin' in America

Earthquake lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 Earthquake, down there in Haiti

Earthquake in the past of Chile

Earthquake in the Indonesia

Earthquake in the China

Earthquake is coming to America

Earthquakes are there in California

Earthquake warn ya people in the city

That the Earth is getting angry

And I asked Earth what have we done

She said we building too much bombs

So there’s too many sons that won’t see their father

Too many daughters that won’t see their mother

Too many grandmas that won’t see their grandkids

They are in the rubble in Port au Prince

Earthquake, down there in Haiti

Earthquake in the past of Chile

Earthquake in the Indonesia

Earthquake in the China

Earthquake is coming to America

Earthquakes out there in California

Earthquake warn ya people in the city

That the Earth is getting angry

That’s when the earth started talking rude (so rude)

Say she’s thirteen she’s a prostitute

I tried to beg for the young girl’s life

But when the earthquake came it took her to the other side

Then I asked her who’s next?

She said, those that’s polluting the planet

They killing everything moving, flowers and abusing mankind

And the only thing left is Armageddon

Earthquake, down there in Haiti

Earthquake in the past of Chile

Earthquake in the Indonesia

Earthquake in the China

Earthquake is coming to America

Earthquakes out there in California

Earthquake warn ya people in the city

That the Earth is getting angry

And as much as we take it for granted

We might not have no better lie in tonight

We be taking for granted

Our kids might get no ice-cream tonight

In this road we taking for granted

We might not kiss our loved ones tonight

If we want the Earth to be better, lets start spreading love

On the planet called Earth

Lets start spreading some goodness, on the planet called earth

Lets start spreading some kindness, oh yeah

Let’s get rid of the weekenders

One love, one heart, one soul, and shaking every trembling of the earth.

Election Time lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 My generation like

We're okay

As long as we got music, we gon' dance all day

He gon' vote Taylor Swift, she gon' vote Kanye, yeah, yeah

Election time is coming

We're okay

As long as we got music, we gon' party all day

She gon' vote U2, he gon' vote Coldplay, play, play

Election time is coming

Immigration, socialism, capitalism, racism

Health care, welfare, seems like nobody cares

Big business, corporation, small business, taxation

Unemployment, education, my generation

Built a space station so when you google earth

You can see all the Haitians as they rebuild their nation

With fair trade, everybody trades

You trade, I trade and everybody gets paid

Election time around the corner

Who you gon' vote for?

We're okay

Election time around the corner

What you gon' fight for?

We're okay

Election time around the corner

Who you gon' vote for?

We're okay

Election time is coming

Do you want peace or war?

Alternative energy or oil in your SUV

Tell me what you're looking for, we about to have it all

Gun control, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturer

Hip Hop, be my culture, tell me what you think about us

Technology and foreign policy

I need the bailout money to stimulate economy

Raised on family values, my life be my testament

King had a dream and you too can be the president

Election time around the corner

Who you gon' vote for?

We're okay

Election time around the corner

What you gon' fight for?

We're okay

Election time around the corner

Who you gon' vote for?

We're okay

Election time is coming

Do you want peace or war?

But the kids like

We're okay

As long as we got music, we gon' dance all day

He gon' vote Taylor Swift, she gon' vote Kanye, yeah, yeah

Election time is coming

But the kids like

We're okay

As long as we got music, we gon' party all day

She gon' vote U2, he gon' vote Coldplay, play, play

Election time is coming

You know what?

What?

Why don't you take some of that stuff I grew up on

You know what I'm talkin' about?

[?]

Gramps was a voodoo priest, Dad was a preacher

Uncle was a Mason, I was raised Christian

Best friend, Muslim, al-salam-alakum

My manager was Jewish, he taught me Shabbat Shalom

Flatbush Rastas taught me the scriptures

Haile Selassie, Marcus Garvey

Saint L'ouverture, Haitian Revolution

Napoleon's Army got spanked by them Haitians

Toussaint St. Jean with the info

Did you know that a Haitian founded Chicago?

If I was president

The first thing I would do is get my people out them tents

Election time is coming

My generation like

We're okay

As long as we got music, we gon' dance all day

He gon' vote Taylor Swift, she gon' vote Kanye, yeah, yeah

Election time is coming

But the kids like

We're okay

As long as we got music, we gon' party all day

She gon' vote U2, he gon' vote Coldplay, play, play

Election time is coming

I wanna thank you all for coming to see me here

You could have been anywhere

But you've chosen to come to the Haitian Experience to see us

I go by the name of Wyclef Jean, straight from Haiti

And that's my brother Steph on the drums

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

Camel To Ferraris lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. WavieboiD, T-Baby)

 [Wyclef Jean (WavieboiD):]

(New everything, me have me new money

Me have me new dividends

Me new mutual fund

Me new stocks

Me new bank account

And bare no tings round here)

Straight from the parishes of Haiti

To Brooklyn, New Jersey

Who would have thought we would have landed in Dubai

(Chaa)

[Wyclef Jean:]

Back from Abu Dhabi

From the camel to Ferrari

The only thing you can't be

Is what you can't dream

Back from the grand priest

Riding camels and Ferraris

You see the only thing you can't be

What you can't be

[T-Baby:]

We picked up the hundreds and fifties

We ran through the bandos as kids

But it wasn't my time, perfected my craft

To take care of my niggas that's with me

Trying to get them Ferraris and Bentleys

To show all the gangs in the trenches

That we gone get richer and richer

So we try and get richer and richer

[Wyclef Jean:]

Cause I came in just like you

Raised in the projects just like you

Mama was on welfare just like you

I even robbed a store once just like you

My house was kinda rough just like you

So I fought for myself boy just like you

I even bought a gun man, just like you

Shot it off a few times (Rrrah) just like you

My people in a gang man, just like you

They were murdered in Flatbush Avenue

Revenge on my mind man, just like you

But preparing on doing your mom in too

More money more problems man, just like you

Yeah, flesh and blood man, just like you

Good days, bad days, girl we will pull through

I ran for president, so can you

Back from Abu Dhabi

From the camel to Ferrari

The only thing you can't be

Is what you can't dream

Back from the grand priest

Riding camels and Ferraris

You see the only thing you can't be

What you can't be

[T-Baby:]

We picked up the hundreds and fifties

We ran through the bandos as kids

But it wasn't my time, perfected my craft

To take care of my niggas that's with me

Trying to get them Ferraris and Bentleys

To show all the gangs in the trenches

That we gone get richer and richer

So we try and get richer and richer

I put it on for the crib, showing the wave what it is

I just got off of the flight, I just got back from Dubai

Nigga I like it I bite (whoa)

I made a way out the way

I'm putting money away, when they get clouds on your rains

They talk about making it rain, I'm talking about trips to the bay

Everybody love you til they hate you

Acting like they love you but they hate you

I can see them talking in the rearview

Engine revving I can't even hear you

We picked up the hundreds and fifties

We ran through the bandos as kids

But it wasn't my time, perfected my craft

To take care of my niggas that's with me

Trying to get them Ferraris and Bentleys

To show all the gangs in the trenches

That we gone get richer and richer

So we try and get richer and richer

Mama told me when I hit the streets the shit won't get easy

But they need me to feed them pasta like Luigi

Couple gs in my pocket, flexxing like I ate my wheeties

All night same clothes I needed all night creeping

I needed white grannies just like you

White couch, marble floors just like you

[?] just like you

Send my young boys home with the Tonton Macoute

We come with the low choppers still in the basement

Ain't never made it out, ain't never fake it

Just trying to be on the list with the greatest

I love you, you understand big homie?

You made it

We picked up the hundreds and fifties

We ran through the bandos as kids

But it wasn't my time, perfected my craft

To take care of my niggas that's with me

Trying to get them Ferraris and Bentleys

To show all the gangs in the trenches

That we gone get richer and richer

So we try and get richer and richer

Cards Never Lie lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Beyonce Knowles & Rah Digga)

 (from "MTV's Hip Hopera: Carmen" soundtrack)

[Beyonce:]

The cards never lie, my last breath a sigh

And now I think about if it's my time to die

I don't know what I was thinking, steady wasting time with Hill

And I need to live my life because my time is unforgiven

I can't understand how my life changed around

Manifest my destiny, is it the brown underground?

Blue skies are turning grayer it's the point of indecision

Believing in the cards you must respect it's every vision

[Wyclef:]

Oh Girlfriend, get your mind on right

Don't spend your time cause you can't waste your time

Everyday like it's your last, but you must fear divine

Intervention comes and snatch up all your dreams from behind

Love!

You feel it and you got to let them know it

Love!

Your heart and that's the feeling that you go with

If you have a dream you need to go and let them know it

Cause you could wake up in the morning and it could be over

[Beyonce:]

No, No, No, No

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna go

Just, Just, Just let me stay home

Let me live my dream, let me see another dawn

No, No, No, No

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna go

Just, Just, Just let me stay home

Let me live my dream, let me see another dawn

[Rah Digga:]

Carmen, don't listen cause the cards have deceit

Just slide him the money, we don't need a receipt

Truth only exists within the eyes of the beholder

Plus he's kind of young for fortune telling

He probably should be older

[Wyclef:]

But the cards never lie, I thought I told you

Now it's her turn to try, to reach her goals before she reaches the sky

[Beyonce:]

This is love

It's like I'm trying to throw my life away

Sometimes love is all you got and other times it makes you pay

[Wyclef:]

Well when you finally rise

Then you'll realize

[Beyonce:]

The windows to the soul are not the hips but the eyes

[Wyclef:]

Oh You could wish on the stars but they dead, just the light

[Beyonce:]

But they shine just as bright as they did their entire life

No, No, No, No

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna go

Just, Just, Just let me stay home

Let me live my dreams, let me see another dawn

No, No, No, No

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna go

Just, Just, Just let me stay home

Just let me live my dreams, let me see another day

Dar Um Jeito (We Will Find A Way) lyrics - Wyclef Jean (with Santana) (feat. Avicii & Alexandre Pires)

 Dar um jeito Oooo!

Dar um jeito Oooo!

[Wyclef Jean:]

When you got nothing to eat

And you find it hard to sleep

How you struggle on the streets

And you can't escape the heat

But your heart could feel that beat

So you get up off your feet

Ain't no mountain you can't reach

Grab your star and make a wish (ouhoho)

We celebrating and we're waving all our rags

We're all united even though we're different flags

We are all one voice,one heart, one soul

Once we set that Goal

You know we're gonna score

[Pre-Chorus:]

Here we go Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!

That's all we know Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!

So here we go Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!

That's all we know

[Chorus:]

Dar um jeito Oooo!

We're gonna find a way

And we're gonna find a way

Dar um jeito Ooo!

We're gonna find a way

And we're gonna find a way

[Alexandre Pires:]

Você nasceu para brilhar

Está escrito em seu olhar

é tão forte a sensação

De vestir uma nação

Quando o jogo começar

Ninguém vai te segurar

Sua determinação

é de um grande campeão

Nós celebramos e vibramos por vocês

O mundo inteiro está torcendo outra vez

Nós somos uma voz, corpo, alma, coração

Então vamos gritar

Explode Emoção

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Here we go!

Here we go Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!

That's all we know Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!

So here we go Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!

That's all we know

Dar um jeito Oooo!

We will find a way

And we're gonna find a way

Dar um jeito Ooo!

We're gonna find a way

And we're gonna find a way

Here we go!

David Banner lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Hollywood, Shells, Timbaland & Trini)

 [Intro:]

[Wyclef Jean:] John Shop!!!

[Wyclef Jean & Timbaland:] You don't wanna provoke!

[Wyclef Jean:]

You won't like me when I'm angry!

You won't like me when I'm angry!!!!

[Timbaland:] Let me tell ya!

[Verse 1: Wyclef Jean + (Timbaland)]

You don't wanna provoke the David Banner cause when the Hulk come out

The trunk come out the pump come out

You gonna have to pay me for protection

If not when you see me go in the other direction

Yo! You don't want the good guy to turn villain

Children come up missin

Grandma and grandpa found in the Atlantic Ocean

Homicide show up see I was just fishin

I caught two snappers now I'm cookin in the kitchen

You wanna play comedian so I'm the king of Comedy (What)

Crackin jokes at your eulogy killin your family (Uh huh)

Got the Vibe I like my wife beater

XXL and once I find The Source and turn the cross

Natural we'll murder you (Uh huh)

Then kiss yo' mom at the funeral (Uh huh)

And like my man Haitian Jack I be at immigration

A Haitian singin the same old song

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Timbaland]

Oh lordy (Oh) Mr. U.S. don't deport me (Don't deport me)

Lord, I know you heard the whole story

About the guns that we hidin in Miami, whoa!!!

[Verse 2:]

[Wyclef Jean:] Hollywood!!!

[Hollywood (Timbaland):]

How often do I clap take a portion of your crack (What)

Till I walk you to your grave with your coffin on your back (Uh huh)

Since a snotnose in Pre K, kids wanted to be me

Niggaz couldn't see me from B.K. to P.A

Fuck what he or she say, long as my peeps straight (Uh huh)

Armed with my heat bake, calm as I see Jake (Uh huh)

Ski stay a feet way, far from them cheap snakes (Ha!)

Cause these rap buffoons be all on that cliche

I laughed at a&r's when they tossed the tape

Now they come to see me to endorse the tape

I'm whippin it well, you see the word boss on plates (What)

Whether the cake or the jewels it still Frosted Flakes

Without the Tony or the Tiger what's Frosted Flakes?

I boss this tape

[Wyclef Jean (Timbaland):]

Yeah, Refugee Camp, this the next generation right here (Uh huh)

Don't run, be a man!

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Timbaland]

Oh lordy (Oh) Mr. U.S. don't deport me (Don't deport me)

Lord, I know you heard the whole story

About the guns that we hidin in Miami, whoa!!!

Oh lordy (Oh) Mr. U.S. don't deport me (Don't deport me)

About the guns that we hidin in Miami, whoa!!!

[Verse 3:]

[Wyclef Jean:] Trini!!!

[Trini (Timbaland):]

Niggaz ain't ready man, bitches ain't ready man

Trini sends slugs let it ride through your Chevy van (Uh huh)

Yeah I got the spots on lock

Bitches you ain't gotta move

But my gun'll push you off the block (Uh huh)

Now you know I'm hot you just hate to admit it (What)

In your hood I come through and murder everything in it (Ha!)

Y'all niggaz is pussy, I can smell it from a far (Uh huh)

Trini fear no man don't give a fuck who you are (Uh huh)

I'm soon to be the most expected (What)

Now let me run that back I am the most respected

[Verse 4:]

[Wyclef Jean:] Shells!!!

[Shells (Timbaland):]

Now when Shells come out, it's back on the block again

No music and videos back pushin rocks again

Back on the low right hand with the glock again

Beef I'm a pop now six till your pops hit

I don't play around dogs a gangsta and a gentlemen

Yeah I'm spaced out cause it's all about the benjamins (Uh huh)

Can tell if you a thug by the way you shake your hand (Uh huh)

Can tell if you really hustle by the way you move grams

I do it dogs shoot it dogs trust me don't do it dogs

Lose it dogs see your eye I could black and blue it dogs

Call your dogs you a bitch man made never snitch (What)

Time to eat it's the click, black burners nah mean

Sick of you niggaz pullin them triggers gettin them figures stop (What)

I burn your block with a bomb like I ain't run and go call the cops (What)

It's Shells ma this man back in your buildin

I'm clappin your children if I don't sell a million

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Timbaland]

Oh lordy (Oh) Mr. U.S. don't deport me (Don't deport me)

Lord, I know you heard the whole story

Oh lordy (Oh) Mr. U.S. don't deport me (Don't deport me)

Lord, I know you heard the whole story

About the guns that we hidin in Miami, whoa!!!

Distance lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 Even with the distance

I feel so near

Even with the separation of space

You'll be right here

Dress like fashion week

Got nowhere to go

Runways in my closet

Internet's the show

Heroes on the frontline

Working overtime

Courage over fear

When they cross that line

Who's to say

It is not in a time like this that we've been chosen

To get closer

To one another

Even with the distance

I feel so near

Even with the separation of space

You'll be right here

We're six degrees apart

Closer than we've ever been

The stadium is empty

It's the living room we're in

Someone tell the land

Lord hear my cry

We all wear the mask now

Fear as a disguise

Who's to say

It is not in a time like this that we've been chosen

To get closer

To one another

Even with the distance

I feel so near

Even with the separation of space

You'll be right here

Even with the distance

I feel so near

Even with the separation of space

You'll be right here

Even with the distance

Gone 'Til November (The Makin' Runs Remix) lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Canibus, R. Kelly, Khadejiah Bass)

 [Wyclef Jean:]

Tell me how you like it

Right about now I know y'all diggin this, so just...

turn up, your radio wherever you at

We about to bring it

This is Wyclef Jean up here ("Word to Wyclef" - Busta Rhymes)

With Canibus workin the night shift ("Word to Wyclef")

Yo, we want all the ladies to put your hands in the air ("Word to Wyclef")

and sing this song with us ("Word to Wyclef")

Yo, R. Kelly, ya ready? Come on

[R. Kelly:]

Now everytime I make a run (uh-huh, uh-huh)

Girl, you turn around and cry

I ask myself oh, why ohhh why... (uh-huh, uh-huh)

See you've got to understand

I can't work a nine to five

So I'll be gone... til November

[Wyclef + Khadejiah Bass:]

Tell me say Michelle, my belle

Yo I'll be gone til November

Standin on the block where the spot get hot, selling rocks

Guaranteed to get set up, by crooked cop

Michelle, my belle (you was wrong)

I know it's wrong, I wrote this rap song

Forgive me when I'm gone, me and Canibus

we workin the night shift, shift, shift

[Wyclef Jean:]

I got it made, hey last word from the hustler

Hey, young 'Clef, take care of your mother

Looked at him and replied, "Yo, daddy where you goin?"

He said, "To Baltimore," he'll be back in the mornin

Gave my mom a hug for her soul when she cry

Every man want heaven, no man want die

Vanished through the door, all I saw was his shadow

Heard mom echo, "I don't wanna be a widow"

That's when I realized, death was ahead

Old man pulled off, in a black caravan

With some dark skinned brothers who looked Sicilian

singing Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Cha-me-leon

[Prazwell/Dirty Cash:]

Yeah, yeah, check it, can't stop the shinin

You wanna stop the shinin? No doubt, ahh

[Wyclef Jean:]

Everytime I make a run (uh-huh, uh-huh)

Girl, you turn around and cry (uh-huh, uh-huh)

I ask myself why, oh why (you need muscle for da hustle)

See you must understand (uh-huh, uh-huh)

I can't work a nine to five (uh-huh, uh-huh)

So I'll be gone, til November (uh-huh, uh-huh)

[Wyclef + Khadejiah Bass:]

Tell me say Michelle, my belle

Yo, I'll be gone til November

Standing on the block where the spot get hot selling rocks

Guaranteed to get set up by a crooked cop

Tell me say Michelle, my belle (you was wrong)

I know it's wrong, I wrote this rap song

Forgive me when I'm gone, me and Canibus (soooo wronnnng)

we workin the night shift, shift, shift

[Canibus:]

Me and 'Clef, we ready to get it on, the three and a half pound

organ imbedded in our skulls is what makes us better than y'all

I'm telling you God, ain't nobody reppin this hard since Genghis Khan

We raise Hell til the heavens fall

Me and my Fugee affiliates buildin, wit plans to make millions

over a quiet game of billiards

Black Sicilians, the descendants of West Indian pilgrims

With the power to collapse buildings

Riding across the ocean floor like Poseidon on a seahorse

to reach our overseas tours

By the middle of March, when the pregnancy starts

in my lady's placenta, I'll be gone 'till November (come on)

[R. Kelly + Wyclef:]

Now everytime I make a run

Girl, you turn around and cry (uh-huh, uh-huh)

I ask myself oh why, oh why (you need muscle for the hustle, uh-huh)

See you've got to understand (uh-huh)

I can't work a nine to five (uh-huh)

So I'll be gone, til November

[Wyclef + Khadejiah Bass:]

Tell me say Michelle, my belle

Yo I'll be gone til November

Standin on the block where the spot get hot, selling rocks

Guaranteed to get set up by a crooked cop

Michelle, my belle (you was wrong)

I know it's wrong, I wrote this rap song

Forgive me when I'm gone, me and Canibus

we workin the night shift, shift, shift

(Are you a) S-O, S-O

(A meanine) so-so, so-so

[Wyclef Jean:]

You gave the feds more info than Sammy "The Bull" Gravano

Jeremiah wore the wire, snitch on Zachariah

In return the feds offer the throne to Neb'kenezer

[Canibus:]

Trust me, you don't wanna be the one we bring it to

Our lyrical, can make your rap careers real miserable

You ain't invincible all we gotta do is get pissed at you

Point you out to some people that'll physically injure you

[Wyclef Jean:]

It's like Lord, take this ass whippin some more

Like Jay-Z, "pa-pa's," someone pass the guaze

[R. Kelly + Wyclef:]

Now everytime I make a run (uh-huh)

Girl, you turn around and cry

I ask myself oh why, oh why (you need muscle for the hustle)

See you've got to understand

I can't work a 9 to 5

So I'll be gone, til November...

Divine Sorrow lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Avicii)

 Deary blossom, I've gone down to old rock bottom

Now I know the love in my heart was true...

Divine sorrow, I thank you for the joy that followed

Back then my friend, if only you knew

It is harder when you love beyond belief

But I'm a fool to let you go,

So this is for you my love

We will never

We will never have a change of mind

We belong together

We will never

We will never be the weary kind

We sing our sorrows away

We sing our sorrows away

We sing our sorrows away

[Avicii Instrumental]

Divine blessing

I wish I would have heard your lesson

Now I know your words were my only truth

I'm just venting, or maybe I'm done confessing

Back then my friend, if only you knew

It is harder when you love beyond belief

But I'm a fool to let you go,

So this is for you my love

We will never

We will never have a change of mind

We belong together

We will never

We will never be the weary kind

We sing our sorrows away

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ohhh

We can make it through judgement day

We won't go fading away

All I ever know must be heaven where you come from

We can make it through cloudy skies

By your side, I feel alive

All I ever know must be heaven where you come from

Yeah

[Avicii Instrumental]

Freedom (Song For Egypt) lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 Egypt

I gotta sing for Egypt

This one is going for Egypt

Yeah, I…

I see the youths

With the scars on their faces

These are the scars of courage

From the ancient places

I see my sisters

I see their eyes

Through the veils

It’s been two weeks

And their kids have run out of milk

[Hook:]

This is not the exodus

Tell Pharaoh

Nobody is leaving

We ain’t leaving

It’s more like a genesis

This is the beginning of freedom

[Chorus:]

Cairo wants freedom

The youth want their freedom

They singing revolution

And if the pyramids could talk they probably would say

نريد الحرية لمصر الآن

They want freedom

Cairo wants freedom

Egypt wants freedom

I’m talking about freedom

I see my brothers

Using the rocks for their weapons

They say the pharaoh must go

They want a peaceful solution

Yeah, I

I see the camels in the desserts

But they don’t have no riders

The people have taken over

They are the survivors

Yeah I

[Hook:]

And this is not the exodus

Tell pharaoh the people ain’t leaving

We ain’t leaving

It’s more like a genesis

This is the beginning of freedom

[Chorus:]

Cairo wants freedom

The youth want freedom

They say a time revolution

And if the pyramids could talk they would probably say

نريد الحرية لمصر الآن

We want freedom

Egypt wants freedom

The youth want their freedom

The people want freedom

And Allah has not forgotten you

For he is grateful

Yeah, I

And the Lord will never forget you

He will grant you your freedom

I’m talking about freedom

He gave Moses his freedom

He gave Jesus his freedom

He gave Mohammed his freedom

He gonna give Egypt its freedom

[Hook:]

And this is not the exodus

Tell pharaoh that the people ain’t leaving

We ain’t leaving

This is more like a genesis

This is the beginning of freedom

[Chorus:]

Cairo wants freedom

Egypt wants freedom

The people want freedom

I’m talking about freedom

Freedom

One love to Egypt

 Like a good book we got so much History, History

You’re my Queen and I’m your King of Kings, King of Kings

Horse & Carriage or a Limousine, Limousine

But I know you’re tired of the same routine, same routine

So baby hold my hand, we’re gonna walk on water, yeah

So baby hold my hand, we’re gonna walk on water

She said well why do I feel like I’m drowning then

[CHORUS]

Historia

o-o-sama o-o-osama

o-o-sama lest we find our way back to love

o-o-sama o-o-osama Summer don’t feel like it unless we find our way

I see her eyes to the pyramids,

She got that Cleopatra swagger an I’m diggin it.

She make me feel like I could conquer Rome in one night

And if I die she said well God will bring me back to life

She told me hold my hand, we’re gonna walk on water, yeah

She told me hold my hand, we’re gonna walk on water

Well why do I feel like I’m drowning then?

[CHORUS]

Historia, this is the story of my life I ask myself where we will end up

Just remember who we are

And if tomorrows like any other lest we find our way

Historia

o-o-sama lest we find our way back to love

o-osama o-o-osama Summer don’t feel like it unless we find our way

Man, my Nula, she came from Jeremy the city of poets

But I met her by the bus stop and I knew

She went to Vanceburg High four years before her due, yeah

Gotta have her, this kind of feels like the movie Casablanca

o-o-sama, o-o-osama

o-o-sama lest we find our way back to love

o-o-sama, o-o-osama Summer don’t feel like it unless we find our way

Historia

o-osama, o-o-osama

o-o-sama lest we find our way back to love

o-o-sama, o-o-osama Summer don’t feel like it unless we find our way back to love

I guess we’ll find our way back to love again.

Hold On (Haiti) lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Mavado)

 [Intro:]

Why you wanna shoot up yuh school today

Why you wanna shoot up yuh school today

Think about it, think about it, thi-thi-thi-think about it

Think about it, think about it

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean (Mavado)]

Hold on, be strong, no matter what you're goin' through

You know it's gon' be OK (OK!) today

Even if the Chiney K sprays

[Verse 1: Wyclef Jean]

Like I said on BET from the hood to the projects to the mansion

So you got no excuse stop blamin' the recession Go hard,

And if you a single mom raisin babies on your own

This one's for you play it as loud as you want

Every block, every school, dream initiation

So build the world make it a better place like Michael Jackson

We don't wanna see another 9-11 happen

Wish I had talked to them teenagers when them RPG's go in

Head on with the navy seals I would've told them there's some better way

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean (Mavado)]

Hold on, be strong, no matter what you're goin' through

You know it's gon' be OK (OK!) today (today)

Even if the Chiney K sprays

We gotta hold on (hold on), be strong (be strong)

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn (the dawn) beyond

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down!

It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today

The sun will shine! After the rain dries!

[Verse 2: Mavado]

To all my thugs that's gone, memories live on, I guess,

See you at the crossroads!

So many cry when we die and they wonder if we're in the sky,

See you at the crossroads!

I see you in my dream, that night, that crime scene, but don't worry,

See you at the crossroads!

Remember we're still a team and I know you can hear me now

See you at the crossroad!

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean (Mavado)]

Hold on, be strong, no matter what you're goin' through

You know it's gon' be OK (OK!) today (today)

Even if the Chiney K sprays

We gotta hold on (hold on), be strong (be strong)

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn (the dawn) beyond

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down!

It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today

The sun will shine! After the rain dries!

[Bridge: Wyclef Jean]

(She wants to know)

She wanna know how long I been playin' (As long as my mama)

As long as my mama she been prayin' (She bought me a guitar)

She bought me a guitar at eleven

She ain't want me be usin' Mac 11's (When I said)

So when I said daddy was gone 'til November

I knew that he wouldn't be back in November

Cause I could've been the one in the bank with a shank

With a pump and a ski mask

But my bank is the stage, my 12 gauge a black act

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean (Mavado)]

Hold on, be strong, no matter what you're goin' through

You know it's gon' be OK (OK!) today (today)

Even if the Chiney K sprays

We gotta hold on (hold on), be strong (be strong)

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn (the dawn) beyond

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down!

It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today

The sun will shine! After the rain dries!

If the rain falls down!

It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today

The sun will shine! After the rain dries!

Immortal lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 I have never met a girl

So beautiful

Tell me your name

She said Beirut

Red and white dress

With the cedar of God

Walk through the fire

Hold her breath through a flood

She got the faith

Hope in her eyes

She wanna live

But ready to die

Asked me to join

I told her I'm ready

Steady she goes

We march through the city

She come with truth

They come with lies

Love and hate could never be friends

So she draws the line

It's just a matter of time

Before karma arrives

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

How long

Before the victory bell?

How long

Must we wait?

How long

Even when a bomb blast

We gonna rise from the ash, yeah

Inspired By Kendrick Lamar lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 I got I got I got I got

Slavery, black history inside my DNA

Poor ones with a peace and W in my DNA

I'm an inbred, chosen, win or lose its in my DNA

And to tussle through transition, brah that's my DNA

I ain't a pawn like this

They play like Chester, hate us with deception

Then I brainstorm like this, got arms like this

Got two 1's, that's 11

They incarcerate no proof or tape

They take our fucking heads

Monsters underneath the bed

I got I got I got I got

Jesus piece the necklace see is in my DNA

I got millions, plan for billions 'cause its in my DNA

I got [?] that live in sin, they wanna rob my DNA

I got God, I got Twelve Tribes of Judah in my DNA

I just kick again then kick again like world cup score a goal

Yah that's him again, running through the cup like Ronaldo

I do public work, they try to Titanic the ghetto star

I know how they work, I know who you are

You are you are you are

[?] that's your DNA

Karma said we gonna find the proof and steal your DNA

Popo say you snitch

[?] to the DEA

33rd degree

Meditation deeper than the sea

My epiphany, my astrology

It leads me to the sun

Shit I been through

Strategizing like Sun Tzu's little son

I know stoners, eviction

Gunners, runners

Robbers, miners, dead

Redemption

Holy fathers dead

With cousins sitting at the fed

The government yeah yeah yeah

Man they got our DNA

Born inside a hut

Where rasta man they smoke the highest grade

When I was ten

Mama came and got me took me from the grade

At twenty-nine

I'm a Fugee with a butler and a maid

And I'm so loud

Social teacher man she called me introvert

Put in that work like Jersey twerk

And I'm Soleil like the Cirque

And all I know is to overwork

Green card hoes will plead a case

The doctor babies gotta save

Imma call that truce when the people say

We got liberty and victory its in our DNA

Got guitar in my DNA

Jimi Hendrix in my DNA

The guitar in my DNA

Justice lyrics - Wyclef Jean (feat. Dre Island)

 Sitting on millions

My friends swimming in billions

We're killers in America

Top shottas in America

We just trappin' in America

Ain't no killer here

Ahmaud Ahmaud how many Ahmaud is it gonna take

For us to realize on this planet we just… apes

Too much, no investigation didn't y'all see the footage

They took him down like deer in the forest

I can't let this be the new norm

They put the judges in place long before we born

King had a dream, they put him away, gave him holiday

And now they still lynching everyday

Pistol, shotgun told you where he lay

Ray Charles probably rolling in his grave

Catch a killer in my hoodie get his sentence

If the ops put us down he gets suspended

Young gifted and black is a gift, you would think it was a curse

Man the way that they switchin' be winching

To thinking that we crowding up space

Line us up with chalk, then erase

Sitting on millions

My friends swimming in billions

We're killers in America

Top shottas in America

We just trappin' in America

Ain't no killer here

How much more left to beg before we free the shackles and the chains

How much more blood to spill before we realize these days

I know you still see they treating us like the modern day slaves

I see your wicked intentions and im gonna give you dementia

So let's get our self together

I know we'll be okay

As Jah as my witness

I'll fly you to my grave

Lost In Time lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 (from "Lost in Harmony: Kaito's Adventure" soundtrack)

See the stars, I feel the moon.

Look so far, but feel so close.

Someone pinch me I'm dreaming.

L-O-V-E is all we know,

Dancing to our favourite tune,

And this is just a beginning.

Who sent you to me?

How did you know that I would be the right one?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Here, comes the rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes again,

But know, nothing is stronger than you.

Here, comes the rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes again,

But know, nothing is stronger than you.

We have crossed a seas and now,

And we've ten thousand miles.

You're the reason I'm breathing.

Wait forever, here and now,

Curtains close, take a bow.

You're someone I can believe in.

Who sent you to me?

How did you know that I would be the right one?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Here, comes the rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes again,

But know, nothing is stronger than you.

Here, comes the rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes again,

But know, nothing is stronger than you.

Lights out, bridge down, dark clouds,

But you're around. (Oh, and I know)

Nothing is stronger than you.

The city flooded, the ocean dropped.

Love's the reason we're alive.

Nothing is stronger than you.

Mentality Of A Lion lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 [Chorus:]

I was born in the concrete jungle

And I know how we feel about the heat in the jungle,

So the lion go for the pray in the concrete jungle,

Ducks and goose turn into gazelles, running in the jungle.

... in history, tell me what really happened,

Like the declaration of independence was signed by free masons.

So who do you think funded the american revolution?

We pay the irs, the irs pays great britain.

And... bank, cause boy they love when we go to war,

Charges happen...

For example the us...

When in germany... got bombed up and sank under,

323000 americans died, j. d rockefeller made 300 million on their lives.

And fbi was given intelligence by his spies,

So the pearl harbor bombing wasn't a surprise.

See the war is designed to keep us in debt,

So to keep us happy they make a holiday for the vets.

And they bring their drugs, testing 'em out on our communities,

Cause in their mind we're just scientific monkeys.

Why you think we can get any gun you want, with no questions?

Because the more you kill, the more money they're making!

You're making money on the block, see the sacks with the big knot

Rocks in the... next to the big...

[Chorus:]

I was born in the concrete jungle

And I know how we feel about the heat in the jungle,

So the lion go for the pray in the concrete jungle,

Ducks and goose turn into gazelles, running in the jungle.

Trust me, nothing lasts forever, mr. star

You're a runner, wanna be a cartel, like escobar.

Pablo made 60 mil a day, today they're making 40 bil from the drug trade.

See my point? you're just making coins,

Cause in this chess game you'll be of use like the pawn, yeah!

As for me, what's my story? a refugee, I was born in haiti,

From the hut, to the projects, to the mansion,

The... I resign in jersey.

Gramps was a voodoo priest, dad was a preacher

Uncle was a mason, I was raised christian

Best friend muslim al-salam-alakum

My manager was jewish, he taught me shabbat shalom

Flatbush rastas taught me the scriptures

Haile selassie,..

Then I met an israel life standing on the corner,

He told me young man we're from the 12 tribes of juda

Gave him a pound, walk past the grocery station,

Big beats in my neck... nation.

I'm like priest...

Militants... got the swag of a nation.

Saint l'ouverture haitian revolution

Napoleon's army got spanked by them haitians.

1804, independence black republic,

Then we help america get louisiana purchase.

Toussaint st. jean with the info

Did you know that a haitian was the founder of chicago?

Jean baptiste you might wanna google search

... all you do is google earth.

[Chorus:]

I was born in the concrete jungle

And I know how we feel about the heat in the jungle,

So the lion go for the pray in the concrete jungle,

Ducks and goose turn into gazelles, running in the jungle.

Million Voices lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 (from "Hotel Rwanda" soundtrack)

Ni ryari izuba, Rizagaruka

Hejuru yacu ni nd' uzaricyeza ricyeza

Ni ryari izuba, Rizagaruka

Hejuru yacu ni nd' uzaricyeza

Rwanda, Rwanda

Yeah, Rwanda, Rwanda

They said: "Many are called and few are chosen"

But I wish some wasn't chosen

For the blood spilling of Rwanda

They said: "Meshach Shadrach and Abednego

Thrown in the fire but they never got burned"

But I wish that I didn't get burned in Rwanda

They said: "The man is judged according to his works"

So tell me Africa, what's your worth?

There's no money, no diamonds, no fortunes

On this planet that can replace Rwanda

Rwanda Rwanda

Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda

These are the cry of the children

Rwanda Rwanda

Anybody hear my cry?

If America, is the United States of America

Then why can't Africa, be the United States of Africa?

And if England, is the United Kingdom

Then why can't Africa unite all the kingdoms

And become United Kingdom of Africa?

Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda

Yeah, yeah

These are the cries of the children, yeah

Can anybody out there hear our cries?

Yeah, heavens cry, Jesus cry

Lord, did you hear us calling you?

Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda

Lord, did you hear us calling?

Can you do something in Rwanda?

Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda

I'm talking 'bout Jesus; talking 'bout

Rwanda Rwanda Rwanda

Talking 'bout... talking 'bout...

Talking 'bout... talking 'bout...

I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda

If you like me check yes and if not check no

Forbidden fruit I gotta take a bite (take a bite)

Ignore the hype cause you and I got something special

My Kingdom lyrics - Jemere Morgan & Wyclef Jean

 What your gonna stand for

Stand for your kingdom

All mi really want is my kingdom

All mi really want is my freedom

Even though I made some mistakes

Just know my spirit can't break yeah

All mi really want is the wisdom

Nuff fi pass down for the children

We could start now not too late

Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

There's justice that we keep wanting

There's problems nobody's solving

Go to war everyday like a soldier

Fight for equality, should be over

Different skin, different name, but the same blood

That we bleed, can we breathe, nuff is enough

Is it a crime to just live

Wanting my freedom?

Why we can't value every human life?

Resistance when we see a different life

If it nuh hurt you why they can't live life?

We done with all the preaching, need some peace inna we life

All mi really want is my kingdom

All mi really want is my freedom

Even though I made some mistakes

Just know my spirit can't break yeah

All mi really want is the wisdom

Nuff fi pass down for the children

We could start now not too late

Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

Easy how they take a rocket to the moon

But they can't find solution for the ghetto youths

And now they wonder, wonder why we loot and shoot

Cuz when we add the math up it don't compute

And sometimes at night when I talk to God

I think he West Indian with many jobs

Took a hundred days just to get a sign

Just cuz you got a stick don't mean you can lead the blind

And momma told her daughter she gon be okay

Seventeen got a baby on the way

And daddy joned didn't he

Disappeared he gone never see his offspring

When one door close another door opens

Tried to turn the key but it got broken

But I'm so faithful waiting for a miracle

Why we can't value every human life?

Resistance when we see a different life

If it nuh hurt you why they can't live life?

We done with all the preaching, need some peace inna we life

All mi really want is my kingdom

All mi really want is my freedom

Even though I made some mistakes

Just know my spirit can't break yeah

All mi really want is the wisdom

Nuff fi pass down for the children

We could start now not too late

Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

They out here moving so heartless

Blind to the facts in pure darkness

Dem ah judge when's there's been no charges

We not perfect but some act so flawless

Don't deserve to be feeling so restless

Gotta prove that my rights just as precious

We could make di mistakes and don't learn

Change direction time fi stand firm

All mi really want is my kingdom

All mi really want is my freedom

Even though I made some mistakes

Just know my spirit can't break yeah

All mi really want is the wisdom

Nuff fi pass down for the children

We could start now not too late

Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

Redemption Song lyrics - Wyclef Jean

 Old pirate, yes, them rob I, sold I to the merchant ship

Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty

We struggle in this generation triumphantly

New York City, won't you help me sing

These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had

Redemption song, these songs of freedom

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind

Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them a cannot stop the time

How long will you kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh

Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book

Brooklyn, help me sing

These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had

Redemption song, these songs of freedom

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind

Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them they can't a stop for the time

How long will they kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh

Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book

Won't you help me sing

These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had

Redemption song, these songs of freedom
