Wyclef Jean Album

Ehhhh, zhe, zhe, zhe

(Spoken)
I was four, four years old
When the Marine left Haiti, the U.S. Marine left Haiti
I was a kid and every time a Marine battalion
Passed in front of the house my father took my hand and said,
"Don't look at that, don't look at that."
And every May 18, which is the flag day, the fire cade?
Put the Haitian flag in front of the house,
And I said, "Father, what is that, what does that mean for you?"
And he said,"It means that you are Haitian.
That mean that my great grand-father fought at Belletiere?
Never forget that. You are Haitian. You are from this land.
You are not French, you are not British, you are not American
You are Haitian."

(feat. Muzion)

Mwen tap rainmin konnin, date et jou' map mouri...

Yeah! Wyclef, misie Jean
Refugee, Muzion

Si t'avais 24 heures a vivre, et que tu savais que t'allais mourir
qu'est-ce t'aurais fait?

[Wyclef]
Yo, si il me restait juste 24 heures a vivre, j'irais voir ma mere
Pour lui dire qu'elle m'a bien eleve, de son fils, elle peut etre fiere
Qu'on m'a traite de voleur, assassin
Elle m'a pas lache, pour ca, j'vais l'embrasser
Un bec sur le front puis, dans la rue j'suis repartit
2 heures et demi, j'appelle Jerry Duplessis
J'dit viens me chercher pour, m'deposer
Chez ma mam'selle, dans sa robe elle est tellement belle
Elle dit ‘'Wyclef, allons manger au TapTap.''
J'ai dit j'pas capable parce que demain j'serai pas la!
J'viens seulement te remercier du fond du c?ur
Parce qu'avec tout ce que je t'ai fait passer t'aurais du m'quitter, aller ailleurs
T'es une belle femme, pas besoin d'pleurer
Quand j'vais m'en aller, tu peux t'remarier

Mwen tap rainmin konnin, date et jou' map mouri...

[Chorus]
Et si t'avais 24 heures a vivre
Aurais-tu chante ? Aurais-tu danse ? Aurais-tu pleure ?
Ou dit : oh non j'veux m'en aller!
Ou dit : oh non j'veux m'en aller!

Imposs! Waddup Clef ?
Qu'est-ce t'aurais fait ?

[Imposs]
Que voulez vous qu'Imposs avancont des paradis
Que personne ne pleure, mais maintenant laisse sa place au paradis
Avant qu'j'm'en aille, faut qu'j'vois mon p'tit neveu
L'embrasse entre les deux yeux, on s'reverra si Dieu veut. Et
Jusqu'aux entrailles faut qu'tu t'battes
Hombre! La vie est un gros cul-de-sac
Ho! Ho, plus ca faut qu'j'vois ma lady
Sexe sans protection, j'veux qu't'aies mon baby!
Check, quand j'etais p'tit, j'tais fou, j'fesais trop troubles
Maintenant on en rit pendant qu'mommy nous fait un Soul Food!
Avec tous mes allies a la table
J'vais m'en aller ou est-ce que j'vois des palmiers et la plage... Haiti!

Mwen tap rainmin konnin, date et jou' map mouri...

[Chorus]

J-Kyll, qu'est-ce t'aurais fait ?

[J-Kyll]
Qu'il me reste 24 heures, ou qu'il me reste toute une vie
Chaque seconde que j'respire me sortira d'ici
86 400 feuilles a bloc sous le coup de minuit
C'est ca la vie et laisse-moi t'dire que le defi etait de taille
Good bye! Ne pleurez pas s'il faut que j'men aille. J'fly!
J'rempli ma mission ou j'deraille. J'die!
Seigneur pardonnez-moi mes failles
C'est ca la vie et laisse-moi t'dire que le defi etait de taille
Bye! Ne pleurez pas ma vie si j'die. J'fly!
Le soleil brille sur mon champs de bataille. So high!
Qu'est-ce que l'ennemi des failles ?
C'est ca la vie et laisse-moi t'dire que le defi etait de taille

Mwen tap rainmin konnin, date et jou' map mouri...

[Chorus x2]

Hey yo Drama! Yeah Clef! Qu'est-ce t'aurais fait ?

[Drama]
Je pars de 24 heures, gerer par mes erreurs
Reparler a mes parents et mes s?urs, on parle de mes meumeures
S'arreter de pleurer, j'ai alle dans l'ghetto
Separer mes frerots, preparer a « Blo »
J'ai rammasse mes prostitues mineures en toll
Qui me mettent a Off, une idee de Boss, que Philippe, Ho!
J'suis presse, j'saute d'un quartier a l'autre
Pour aider les pauvres, y'e dix heures et onze, tantot j'vais quitter ce monde
J'ai fixe ma montre sur le son de l'alarme de ma mort, One time, a midi j'suis gone!
J'ai rendez-vous avec Jesus j'vais m'habiller pour aller a l'eglise, Hop!
Trop tard! J'suis deja dans ma tombe!

Mwen tap rainmin konnin, date et jou' map mouri...

[Chorus x2]

Wyclef Jean, Muzion, Refugies, on y va! Let's go! Yeah!

Yeah,
Election times coming.
Who you going to vote for
C'yeah

[Chorus:]
If I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
Then go back to work on Monday.
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)

[Verse 1:]
Instead of spending billions on the war,I can use that money, so I could feed the poor.Cause,I know some so poor,when it rains thats when they shower. Screaming "Fight the Power".That's when the war should devour.

[Chorus:]
If I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
Then go back to work on Monday.
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)

[Verse 2:]
I know some soldiers they sleeping,but they can't dreaming, wake up with screaming,sounds abit succeading. So take this metal of honor for your bravery. I wish you the best kid, for you and your family.

[chorus:]
If I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
Then go back to work on Monday.
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)

[Verse 3:]
BUT THE RADIO WON'T PLAY THIS,
THEY CALL IT REBEL MUSIC.HOW CAN YOU REFUSE IT, CHILDREN OF MOSES? Tell the children the truth,the truth,its not all the bling thats diamond.Tell them the truth, the truth, Most of y'al are cuban smoking. Tell them the truth the truth yeah, Your soul is worth more then diamonds.

If I was president all blacks would have reparation, no segagation I would lead the nation,We would all hold hands, very week on the beach party by the sand.Word up. Take trips to ait force one don't need the shoe air force ones. Better schools in the hood better teachers for the making money, be paying them taxes. Finding fair sciencetist to come upwith an answer,I want a cure for aids and cancer But I got to watch my back sniper's on the hill with it still,Waiting to jf kill.

[Chorus:]
If I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
Then go back to work on Monday.
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)
If I was president...(If you were president)

I feel the rain coming let me play my guitar for them right now.

If you were president...
If you were president...
Refugees
If you were president...
If you were president...
If you were president...
If you were president.

Imma take u to a place
Where the trouble's im the base
Where everybody's fine
And ther's no color line
The only thing we see
Is the party by the sea
So lets call the refugee


Vole, Vole, Vole, Vole

Sote, Sote, Sote
Mete main nou anle. Met main nou anle (2 x's)

If u come from the Caribians

Refugee is gonna take them on a flight

(Lyrics in Creole French)

We gonna hit them with the rhythm of the night

I ain't shy, no proper playa hata
I'm sure I do do why?
I ain't shy, no proper lying son?
Ce va no francais

(English rap)
Ladies fine, let us get closer
Let me see you go down a little lower
Don't cheat and hold on to my shoulder
Want to see who's some real bad breakups
Sex entwined and I got my drink on
Don't push and spill the hatuva?
Time to pull and it's time to party y'all
If you'll permit me then the bag wll hate with y'all

???
???

Right now get your flags
And this is what I want y'all to do:

Wave to the east
Wave to the east
Wave to the east
Wave to the east
Wave to the east
Wave to the east

And my shorties
All my ladies
