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!

[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)

[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)

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

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)

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)

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
