Hey yo this is Whitney Houston
Big up to my life Wyclef Jean

So check it out
One day I was in the studio with the
Queen of Pop Whitney Houston and
I was like 'Whitney
You know we both from Jersey right let's take
Em back to the street she said

Its not right, but it's okay
Wyclef kill sound boys everyday
Refugee sound that's all we need
To all sound boys back 'way and leave

Uh, welcome to Newark to New Jersey Drive
Hot wire your car for a joyride
Shotta you show up with big
Guns and big spears
My teacher said they gone give
Me they electric chair
Welcome to my backyard, my pit wears a muzzle
Its a maze and we're living in a puzzle
Welcome to the jungle
I bought the roses they bought the guns
Communicating with hand signs
Like we waving at the Sun

Its not right, but it's okay
Wyclef kill sound boys everyday
Refugee sound that's all we need
To all sound boys back 'way and leave

I bet you better wise up
Cause Clef ain't the one you should size up
I use to climb the project
Building like spider kit
Not all of us was drug dealers
Some was stick up kids
Touye manman ou, touye manman ou
Touye manman ou, touye manman ou
What that mean in creole? Killing your mom
Call the undertaker, grave digger, coroner
What's the name of your new
Gun? Call him life taker

Its not right, but it's okay
Wyclef kill sound boys everyday
Refugee sound that's all we need
To all sound boys back 'way and leave
