Youssou N’Dour, Canibus, Wyclef Jean - How Come lyrics

(Here come the drums)
You ever woke up one morning
And ask yourself this question?
(Here come the drums) check it out

How come? How How come?
(Thugs wanna disrespect me in the clubs
How come?) how come? How How come?
(Shootouts over chickenheads, how come?)
How come? How How come? (Here we go)

Yo, as the universe expands
I contemplate whether it was God or
The Big Bang that made man
Sometimes I wonder how come we
Can't live without guns
What would of been the outcome
If the South won? Think about that, son
What in the hell caused
The assassination of Malcolm?
The federal communications commission
Listens to politicians in the position
To make certain decisions
Like putting minorities in prison
To decimating the population of women
It's called socialism
From the United States to the United Kingdom
Aahhkk, spit into the sky
And extinguish the Sun but how come?

How come? How, how come?
(How come I gotta wake up
Early to go to work?)
How come? How How come?
(The boss is still paying me little money)

In the future, the location is planet Earth
The time and date is 1999, December 31st
11: 59 pm
The anticipation of what I think's about
To happen got my heartbeating
We got less than a minute left before
The planet Jupiter is ignited into a star
I know it sounds bizarre
But it's mathematics
A specific sign for some
Of the planet's inhabitants
Those who understand know what
I'm saying is accurate
Our country is corrupt from the
President to the cabinet
In the year 2 followed by three 0's
The space probe Galileo will welcome
Us all to Channel Zero but how come?

How come? How, how come?
(How come you're not breathing now?)
How come? How, how come?
(How come we don't chill
Out on the violence?)
How come? How how come?

(I'm a gonna take you to
Senegal for a second)
(In case you know nothing about it)
(Check the culture)
(Yo Youssou tell'em something man)
How come? Ho-ow Ho-ow come?
(I'm feeling you kid, I'm feeling you)
How come? Ho-ow Ho-ow come?
(How come the record company's
Always stressing me?)
How come? Ho-ow Ho-ow come?
(How come my grandmother's still on welfare?)
How come? Ho-ow Ho-ow come?
(How come whatever)

Yo '98 for the heavy weight
Wyclef Jean, Canibus and Youssou N'Dour
You know what I mean?
Now I'm going back to some
America type o' shit and I'm out
