Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill - Year of the Dragon lyrics
[Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill - Year of the Dragon lyrics]
Yo (Yes-yes) , yo
Lock your doors, lock your doors
(Die, die, die)
Lock your doors, lock your doors
(Die, die, die)
Lock your doors, lock your doors
(Die, die, die)
I remember comin' from Haiti
Growin' up in Brooklyn
On Flatbush got my first sneakers tooken
Learn the game quick so I got my first device
Mom moved to Jers' so we
Could get a better life
But little did she know a ghetto is a ghetto
Good times found myself like
Jimmie Walker sayin' "Cello"
Yellow cheese bus gettin' beatings if I cuss
Lay away another day in stripped
Lee's and Le Tigres
But the lyrical bomber mama tried to stop
Paranoid cause this boy around
My neighborhood got shot name plait hair
Straight metal braces on my teeth
Fat laces on my feet when
Crack first hit's the streets
I use to push up on a girl, Salt 'N' Peppa
"Push It Push It"
D's in school cause the music was my focus
Jokes in class but when I
Learned I didn't pass i knew it was my ass
With my mothers leather lash
Belt buckle said "Nelly Nel"
Similar to Melle Mel
Hit's the third rail Beat
Street made Gazzels sells
As the tale gets poetic watch
The streets turn magnetic
Tawana Brawley's rape is alleged
Hang out in hooky places
Watch streets corners turn to oasis
Young men aspire to be Scarfaces
In the year of the dragon
Lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't
Be back next year
Yo, yo watch out for the black van
Yo, yo (Last days, last days)
Planes exploding yo, close your door
Yo, nobody's safe, Halloween, October 31st
Yo, close your door, yo
Kids are disappearing, yo
Late at night
The light was bright on the ave
I went to pick up cash
From my cousin little Kev
He told me Joe had a dream
In jail he got steamed
His wife became a fiend fuckin' little Raheem
Damn, drugs will make you do terrible things
He told me when he get out
He's murdering by any means
The day came, I saw him on the train
He pulled his gun and aimed and started
Firing like the son of Kane
I saw civilians runnin' for their life
Like the devil on judgment
Night running from Christ
Ice and Amaretto please as I fell to my knees
Being shot by Ferguson the vigilante
In the year of the dragon
Lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't
Be back next year
So CNN nah'm sayin'?
Ferguson is at court and he's his own lawyer
You nah'mean, what's goin' on?
Talk to me, this is definitely the last days
Jewish calendar has already arrived
The year 2000
Watch ya back, watch ya back, watch ya back
Die, die, die, die
'Clef, it kind of remind me of
This chick I once knew use to be a dime now
She's strung out in Bellevue
See, the serpent played tricks run
Game like the Knicks
Build you up just to lose the championship
I seen her reminisce over Wu Tang
Could It be that simple?
She lost her Prince 'cause there
Were Thieves In the Temple
Tragic depression made her lose all her teeth
Lost and turned out gave her
Body to the streets
Sweet Mary, don't you weep
Still water runs deep
So be careful of the company you keep
In the year of the dragon
Lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't
Be back next year
Yo, I'm frustrated you nah'mean?
I use to work at McDonalds, just got fired
If I get in, I'm
Sprayin' everybody, the boss, the manager
Yo, these are definitely the last days
Yo, here he comes with his gun, yo, duck
Duck black Panther, yo, nobody's protected
Yo, 6-6-6 watch your back
Don't get caught in the rapture
Yo, AIDS, Moses, the plague watch your back
Pharaoh, let my people go
Yo, watch your back
Last days, nobody's protected
Yo, my little, sister is Rosey Sharen
Yo, yo, nobody's protected
Not even Rosey Sharen
Nobody's protected, yo, you try to
Come get my sister, i'ma get you first
I'ma be driving a hearse
'cause nobody's protected
Lock your doors, lock your doors
(Die, die, die)
Lock your doors, lock your doors
(Die, die, die)
Lock your doors, lock your doors
(Die, die, die)
I remember comin' from Haiti
