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!
