.Wyclef Jean: The Carnival - Year Of The Dragon

Intro:
(sirens) Yo yes yes yo. Lock your door. Die die
die (x6)

Wyclef:
I remember comin' from Hati growin' up in
Brooklyn
On Flat Bush got my first sneakers tooken
Learn the game quick so I got my first device
Mom move to Jersey so we could get a better life
But little did she know a ghetto is a ghetto
Good time found myself like Jimmy Walker sayin'
"Cello"

Lauryn:
Yellow cheese bus gettin' beatings if I cuss
Lay away another day in stripped Lees and
letegrays
But the lyrical bomber momma tried to stop
Paranoid cause this boy around my neighborhood
got shot Name plate hair straight metal braces on
my teeth
Fat laces on my feet when crack first hits the
streets
Wyclef:
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
Hits the third rail Beat Street made Gazzels
sells

Lauryn:
As the tale gets poetic watch the streets turn
magnetic Towanna Balley's rape is alleged
Hang out in hooky places watch streets corners
turn to oasis Young men aspire to be Scarfaces

Hook:
In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't be around next year

Wyclef en parlant:
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 31. Yo
close your
door yo kids are disappearing. Yo

Wyclef:
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 Raheim
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 judgement night running from
Christ
Ice and Armarretto please as I fell to my knees
Being shot by Fergusin the vigilante
Hook

Wyclef en parlant:
So CNN nawhatI'msayin? Fergusin is at court and
he's his own lawyer youknowmean what's goin' on.
Talk to me. This is definatly the last days.
Jewish calendar has already arrived the year
2000. Watch ya back watch ya back watch ya back
DIE DIE DIE DIE

Lauryn:
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 carful of the company you keep
Hook

Wyclef en parlant:
Yo I'm frustrated youknowhatI'mean? Use to work
at McDonalds just got fired.
If I get in I'm sprayin' everybody the boss the
manager yo these are definatly 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 plaque watch your back. Pharoh
let my people go. Yo watch your back. Last days.
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
come try to get my sister I'm a get you first.
I'm a be driving a hearse. Cause nobody's
protected.
