[wyclef jean]
I got it madehey last word from the hustler
Heyyoung 'cleftake care of your mother
Looked at him and replied"yodaddy 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 heavenno man want die
Vanished through the doorall I saw was his shadow
Heard mom echo"i don't wanna be a widow"
That's when I realizeddeath was ahead
Old man pulled offin a black caravan
With some dark skinned brothers who looked sicilian
Singing karma karma karma karma karma cha-me-leon

[pras/dirty cash]

Me and 'clefwe ready to get it onthe three and a half pound
Organ imbedded in our skulls is what makes us better than y'all
I'm telling you godain't nobody reppin this hard since genghis khan
We raise hell til the heavens fall
Me and my fugee affiliates buildinwit plans to make millions
Over a quiet game of billiards
Black siciliansthe 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 marchwhen the pregnancy starts
In my lady's placentaI'll be gone 'till november (come on)

You gave the feds more info than sammy "the bull" gravano
Jeremiah wore the wiresnitch on zachariah
In return the feds offer the throne to neb'kenezer

[canibus]
Trust meyou don't wanna be the one we bring it to

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]
