Wyclef Jean, Pras, John Forté - We Trying to Stay Alive lyrics

We got the Refugee Allstars
Rub-a-dubbing in the club
Wyclef Jean, John Forté, Praswell
Know what I mean
The streets are getting a little crazy

Looka-looka-looka-looka-looka-looka-looka here
Looka, shorty got back
Should I ask her for a dance? Hold on
There's too many in the wolf pack
And besides, Dirty Cash talking to her
Buying her fake furs and taking
Her to The Fever
Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz
She spends his Franklins at the
Malls with her friends
Material girl living in a material world
But, it's all right 'cause
It's Saturday night
So Mr funkmaster, pump the Bee Gees
And all you college students
Play your 'Uigis
Check the spelling, R-E-F-U-G-E-E
Get the CD from Sam Goody, hee hee
You ain't even close with the
Rhymes that you wrote
Don't be mad 'cause you broke
Let me clear my throat, uh huh, uh huh
John Forté, grab the mic, let's sway this way

I'm more than just a rhymer
You still a small-timer
Hoping that the game treat that
Ass a little kinder every step tango'd
Your beef don't concern me
I'm eating mangoes in Trinidad with attorneys
(Oh, yeah)
My crew's slang flow worldwide like a current
Went the every spot where
Nobody got insurance brother, do the math
You ain't half near exotic
My mans claim true you, forget about it
Po-po just a nuisance like my influence
Well-recognized, you a lie trying do it
Got juice, told your lady, "Oops, we nuts
Baby" smooth and charismatic, automatic
You gon' save me
God bless the dead as my son survive
We strive to teach the youth, baby
And stay alive

Refugee camp next, baby
John Forté, yeah, watch your lady
Watch your lady, yeah (All right)
'Specially around baby Pras (Yo)
If you got more than a dollar
In your pocket right now
Put your hands up (yeah, yeah)

Well, you can tell by the way I roll, shorty
That I'm a ladies man a business man
Condos down the shore
Multi-million pension plan (Uh, huh)
But it ain't in my plan to
Make moves without the fam (No can do)
I keep it intact, yo, 'Clef, do the track
('Clef, do the track, yeah)
John, play the mack while I pay the tax
Business as usual
Watching suspects steal my assets
Get cut with Gillettes
We built this concept, connect like NYNEX
(All right)
Drinks at the bar, my American Express
Come here

Yo, I cook up, cook up
The copper pull up, pull up
Them I cuff up, cuff up
You who's calling bluff
Now you shook up, shook up
'Cause you lock up, lock up
When I love up, love up
You who's calling bluff
Ayo, John is chilling, Dirty Cash dealing
What more can I say? We living
That's what we got, we got it good
And since you understood, we be

Yeah live at The Carnival
'97 'til infinity, ha refugee Allstars
Can't stop the shining
Can't stop the shining
Can't stop the shining
Can't stop the shining
You wanna stop the shining? You
Wanna stop the shining?
You wanna stop the shining? You
Wanna stop the shining?
Can't stop the shining
Can't stop the shining
