L'Union Fait La Force.
Yeah.
Or our peep Jimmy O
From the ashes we shall rise.
(FanFan)
Young Clef, to my country of Haiti.

Hold on, be strong. No matter what you're goin' through
You know it's gonna be okay [okay] today.
Even when the earth quakes.

Like I said on BET
From the hood the projects to the mansion,
So you got no excuse stop blamin' the recession
Go hard after Haiti
Send a text on your phone, Y-E-L-E 5-0-1 5-0-1

Every block, every school, dream initiation
Say we wanna make it a better place like Michael Jackson
We don't wanna see another man loved lost out there.

Wish I had talked to them teenagers, with them rpg's
Goin' on ahead with the navy seals
I would've told them listen better.

Hold on, (there's gotta be a better way) be strong.
No matter what your goin through
You know it's gonna be okay [okay] today [today].
Even when the earth quakes.
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
You know I can see the sunlight.

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothin' but a bless day today
The sun will shine after the rain dries.

[Mavado]
To all my thugs that dawn, memories live on
I guess, see you at the crossroad.
So many cry when we die and they wonder if
We're in the sky. See you at the crossroad.
I see you in my dream that man that can't see
But don't worry, see you at the crossroad.
Remember we still a team and I know you
Can hear me now. See you at the crossroad.

Hold on (there's gotta be a better way) be strong
No matter what you're goin' through
You know it's gonna be okay [okay] today [today]
Even when the earth quakes.
We gotta hold on, [hold on] be strong [be strong]
Know that you don't think that I can read your palms
But I see the dawn [the dawn] beyond
You know I can see the sunlight.

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothin' but a bless day today
The sun will shine after the rain dries.

She wants to know, she wanna know how long I been playin'
As long as my momma, as long as my momma she been prayin'
She bought me a guitar, she bought me a guitar at 11
She ain't want me be use mac 11's
So when I sing, 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 the shank
With the pump with the ski mask
Oh my bank is a stage, my 12 gage is black.

Hold on, (you gotta find a better way) be strong
No matter what your goin' through
You know it's gonna be okay [okay] today [today]
Even when the earth quakes.
We gotta hold on [hold on] be strong [be strong]
Know that you don't think that I can read your palms
But I see the dawn [the dawn] beyond
You know I can see the sunlight.

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothin' but a bless day today
The sun will shine after the rain dries

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothin' but a bless day today
The sun will shine after the rain dries.

If you love somebody
Put a light in the air
From the hood to the stakes
It's so incredible
Fry your finger in the air
Flo Rida up in here
Wyclef up in here

If I could I would pull it up and rewind
To the time when it was just me and you
Oh, how we were inseparable

If I could I'd pull it up and rewind
To the time before you went away
Wish I could go back to yesterday
If I could I'd pull it up and rewind

I try sticking to the rivers that I'm used to
But these tears got me searching for an inner tube
Witness my homies life shorter than my inner lose
Don't wanna drown in my hurt 'cause it's critical
I pop champagne but still it's a damm pain

Beedee I love you my sister died but it never changed
My last love that we just ditched in my brain
Give up the fortune and the fame to hear you say my name
The ghetto rough while the doff try purple rain
Lord knows I wish death never had a name

Our last breath that it never had a relevate
Wyclef, Flo Rida here to tell it man
To the left, move, hurt for suffering
I lose myself when I think about my people's slain
If I could I'd rewind this whole thing

If I could I would pull it up and rewind
To the time when it was just me and you
Oh, how we were inseparable

If I could I'd pull it up and rewind
To the time before you went away
Wish I could go back to yesterday
If I could I'd pull it up and rewind

So I sit down and I had try
Are you living up in this life?
And I know if I could I'd pull it up and rewind

If I could take yesterday and place it in my palms
I anticipate the day like a school prom
Promise tomorrow what you think till you lose some
Big will I know heaven got the futon

Face good with the man paid your dues done
Wack your shows in japan with me getting drunk
We had plans, plans change the new sun
The Lord never leave us lonely when you lose one

If I could change the past, my people wouldn't past
I wish life was TiVo and you could bring it back
I wish it all was remote and how the day be said

I were IP use it like it's pixel flap
Pull up the hood times, pull up the good times
Everyday be forever when I'm puttin' down
Showing off that's the truth nah

If I could I would pull it up and rewind
To the time when it was just me and you
Oh, how we were inseparable

If I could I'd pull it up and rewind
To the time before you went away
Wish I could go back to yesterday
If I could I'd pull it up and rewind

So I sit down and I had try
Are you living up in this life?
And I know if I could I'd pull it up and rewind

If I had the gift be here I'd cure your mom from cancer
Take the Breena and stuck 'em up all with answers
Take the crack feen turn her into the prom queen
Have her graduate suma ku la day

But she so high that she's riding on drug assist
Growing up like the women from the exorcist
Her heart stopped in the ambulance

If I could I would pull it up and rewind
To the time when it was just me and you
Oh, how we were inseparable

If I could I'd pull it up and rewind
To the time before you went away
Wish I could go back to yesterday
If I could I'd pull it up and rewind

So I sit down and I had try
Are you living up in this life?
And I know if I could I'd pull it up and rewind

I never really knew that
she could dance like this
She makes a man wants
to speak Spanish
Como se llama bonita
Oh baby when you
talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs
of my body
And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to
feel it's right
All the attraction the tension
Don't you see baby
this is perfection
Hey Girl
I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have
the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing
And when you walk up
on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore
the way you move
your body girl
And everything

the way you right and left it
So you can keep on taking it

All the attraction the tension
Don't you see baby

Oh boy

Half animal half man

don't really know
what I'm doing
But you seem to
have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to
fail now fail now
See I am doing what I can
but I can't so you know
That's a bit too
hard to explain
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de dia
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de dia
I never really knew that
she could dance like this
She makes a man want
to speak Spanish
Como se llama bonita

Senorita feel the conga

She's so sexy
every man's fantasy
a refugee like me back
with the Fugees
from a 3rd world country
I go back like when
'pac carried crates
for Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the C I A wanna watch us
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty

Boo boop so boop
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas
'cause we own our own boats

You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to
feel you boy
Come on let's go

We used to be number 10
Now we're permanent one,
In the battle lost my finger, Mic became my arm
Pistol nozzle hits your nasal, blood becomes lukewarm
Tell the woman be easy Naah squeeze the Charmin
Test Wyclef, see death flesh get scorned.
Beat you so bad make you feel like you ain't wanna be born
And tell your friends stay the hell out of my lawn.
Chicken George became Dead George stealin' chickens from my farm.
Damn, Another dead pigeon
If your mafiosos then I'm bringin' on Haitian Sicilians
Nobody's shootin', my body's made of hand grenade
Girl bled to death while she was tongue-kissing a razor blade.
That sounds sick maybe one eday I'll write a horror
Blackula comes to the ghetto, jacks an ACURA
Stevie Wonder sees Crack Babies Be-Coming Enemies of their own families.
What's going on?
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon, trying to front like he's down with
Mount Zion.

[LAURYN]:CHORUS
Oooh La La La,
It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La,
It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah,
Sweeeeet Thing

[LAURYN]
Yeah in saloons we drink Boone's and battle goons till high noon,
Bust rap toons on flat spoons, take no shorts like poon poon's.
See hoochies pop coochies, for Gucci's and Lucci
Find me in my Mitsubishi, eatin' sushi, bumpin' Fugees.
Hey Hey Hey
Try to take the crew and we don't play play
Say say say
Like Paul McCartney, not hardly,
ODD-ly enough
I can see right through your bluff
Niggas huff and they puff but they can't handle us, WE BUST
Cause we fortified, I could never hide, seen "Cooley High",
Cried when Cochise died.
I'm twisted, black-listed by some other negroes,
Don't remove my Polos on the first episode.
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You shouldn't diss refugees, and
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You whole sound set's bootie , and
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You have to respect JERSEY, cause I'm superfly when
I'm super-high on the Fu-Gee-La.

[LAURYN]:CHORUS
Oooh La La La,
It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La,
It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah,
Sweeeeet Thing

[PRAZ]
I sit 90 degrees underneath palm trees,
Smokin' beadies as I burn my calories,
Brooklyn roof tops become Brooklyn tee-pees,
Who that be, enemies, wanna see the death of me.
From Hawaii to Hawthorne, I run marathons, like
Buju Banton, I'm a true champion, like,
Farakkhan reads his Daily Qu'ran it's a phenomenon,
lyrics fast like Ramadan.

[CLEF] (2X)
What's goin' on
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon, trying to front like he's down with
Mount Zion.

[LAURYN]:CHORUS 2X
Oooh La La La,
It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La,
It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah, Sweeeeet Thing

(feat. Wyclef Jean)

Slow motion
Blinds are see through
Let your mind go
Imagine that I kiss you

Turn off the lights and open up your eyes now
You can take a glimpse into my soul for tonight

Do you got the heat off girl? Yes I do
Can you turn up the temperature? You bet I could
Colombian with a swagger. Yes I am

Whatever it takes to make this thing work we gonna
Whatever it takes to make this thing work we gonna

[Chorus:]
There's a spy by my window
I know it's you
You like to keep an eye on me
I know you like to keep an eye on me
There's a spy by my window
I know it's you
Won't you like to keep an eye on me
I know you like to keep an eye on me
Keep an eye on me
But if you want it got to let it be

I know you
Dream about me
And it turns me on to think about it
This is the finest game
It ain't even got a name
I just wanna see how far it takes us tonight

Do you got the music on girl? Yes I do
Can you get a little closer? You bet I could
Colombian with a swagger. Yes I am

Whatever it takes to make this thing work we gonna
Whatever it takes to make this thing work we gonna
Whatever it takes to make this thing work we gonna

[Chorus:]
There's a spy by my window
I know it's you
You like to keep an eye on me
I know you like to keep an eye on me
There's a spy by my window
I know it's you
Won't you like to keep an eye on me
I know you like to keep an eye on me
Keep an eye on me
But if you want it got to let it be

When the dog's away that's when the cat's play
You'll be my girl, I'll be the spy
Like the James Bond flick girl I'm ready to ride

When the cat's away that's when the mouse play

You'll be my girl, I'll be the spy
Like the James Bond flick girl I'm ready to die, die die

[Chorus:]
There's a spy by my window
I know it's you
You like to keep an eye on me
I know you like to keep an eye on me
There's a spy by my window
I know it's you
Won't you like to keep an eye on me
I know you like to keep an eye on me
Keep an eye on me
But if you want it got to let it be

Lipstick's on
Stockings up
Skirt's short
Heels are high
Take your time
Buckle up

Close your eyes and enjoy the ride
Close your eyes and enjoy the ride
Close your eyes ...
Close your eyes and enjoy the ride

Ice cream girl

[Chorus]
Give me a ice cream
Girl for the weekend
Kind of girl she built for any season
For the winter, for the fall
Even in the summer, time is no fall
You wanna a ice cream
Girl for the weekend
A pocket full of dough you wanna blow on the weekend
Young fresh and clean, you know what I mean
Everybody knows the female that loves the ice cream

My rum raisin, she drunk in the club
But said she knowin that, she always boostin'
She got a man, he's always cheating
And her daddy left her when she was 18

Ride here ride her, she the life of the party
She's in that of the limousine, look like somethin' from a magazine
She's such a beauty queen, got me spending all my cream

[Chorus]

Once upon a time, let's go back to the scene
She was a prom queen, 'n you were the prom king
Pinky swear that you would never separate
'Cause you was drafted for the NBA
I used to worry about your best friend
I don't trust nobody named frosty the snowman
Frosty oh where you at?
Now ice cream man, is up in like that

He reminisced of the limousine
Looked like somethin' from a magazine
She such a beauty queen
Had him spending all his cream

Give me an ice cream man for the weekend
Body toned up ready for the beach and
Young fresh and clean, you know what I mean
Everybody knows the feen that loves the ice cream
You wanna a ice cream
Girl for the weekend
A pocket full of dough you wanna blow on the weekend
Young fresh and clean, you know what I mean
Everybody knows the female that loves the ice cream

Give me an ice cream man for the weekend
Body toned up ready for the beach and
Young fresh and clean, you know what I mean
Everybody knows the feen that loves the ice cream
You wanna a ice cream
Girl for the weekend
A pocket full of dough you wanna blow on the weekend
Young fresh and clean, you know what I mean
Everybody knows the female that loves the ice cream

For the love of the ice cream
Ice cream girl


Give me a ice cream
Girl for the weekend
Kind of girl she built for any season
For the winter, for the fall
Even in the summer, time is no fall
Ice cream girl
Give me an ice cream man for the weekend
Body toned up ready for the beach and
Young fresh and clean, you know what I mean
Everybody knows the feen that loves the ice cream

Ice cream girl
Sean Kingston
Mister Wyclef Jean
Ice cream girl
I'mma tell you I like this girl
Stay away from that ice cream
Ice cream girl
It gives you cavities

If you love somebody
Put a light in the air
From the hood to the stakes
It's so incredible
Fry your finger in the air
Flo Rida up in here
Wyclef up in here

If I could I would pull it up and rewind
