(Small World)
Blame, blame,
whose dat with you again?
(The ride, the
ride)
Yes black, where's
my jewels at?
(Uptown, uptown,
uptown, uptown...)
(Wyclef Jean)
Yo, let's get
back to the hardcore right now
Underground hip-hop
yo (*foreign singing*)
This one's a gangsta
tune, whassup Fosha?
I'ma send this
one out to all the refugee gangs around the world
Signal, signal,
y'all need to chill with the driveby's
It was the Fourth
of July I heard the cherry bomb bang
Stay in the house
that’s the sound of the gangs, Clef
By the time we
figured out what happened
I was in an ambulance
tellin my cousin keep breathing
(Chorus: Wyclef
Jean)
Don't wear your
colours here, that cemetery gear
I got my gun and
nine, killing's my appetite
(but that ain't
right y'all)
DON'T WEAR YOUR
COLOURS HERE!
That cemetery
gear (California, California)
I got my gun and
nine from Hollywood, to your neck of the hood
(Wyclef Jean)
True, true, yo
Hollywood got a lot of kids twisted
Jumpin in and
out of limo's thinkin is his ass really gifted
The only gift
y'all possess is workin with the triple six's
Y'all disguise
yourself with bandanas and diamond necklaces
Mosta y'all can't
even go back to the hood where y'all grew up
Actin like y'all
drink alcohol and all y'all do is throw up
Talk about when
y'all blow up y'all gonna visit the project floors
But the last time
they saw y'all was 1984
Now y'all wonder,
why they got all hoodies screamin "freeze"
Get out the navigator,
Godfather III's in the DVD
They hoppin, they
take your car for a spin
It's cold outside
so all you feel is the wind
There's no celly
phone, so you can't phone home
Oh lord, here
come those criminals Maleeg & Jerome
("Yo, who you
know here, you got family over here?")
He a rap artist
("I don't care,
he got the wrong colours over here, no fear")
Now you look shook
like that Mobb Deep song
I'm surprised,
cause on all y'all records you was Al Capone
And come to find
out that you never held a chrome
And you escaped
the draft and never bust a shot in Vietnam
Now you standin
in the form amongst the children of the corn
Like the Sun of
Man stood with a crown made of thorns
The only difference
is for you there'll be no resurrection
Cause it's a traffic
jam, they got you locked up in a intersection
(Chorus: Wyclef
Jean)
Don't wear your
colours here, that cemetery gear
I got my gun and
nine, killing's my appetite
(but that ain't
right y'all)
DON'T WEAR YOUR
COLOURS HERE! (Colours)
That cemetery
gear (Chicago, Chicago)
I got my gun and
nine from Hollywood, to your neck of the hood
(Small World)
Yo, Hollywood
has half-man be hollow to you
How could you
have slipped through
while I was detecting
the trick that's in you
Pretending you
pitbull, when really your candy-ass is poodle
We wouldn't of
hit you, hammers have already been
cocked and cleaned,
yo, it was who?
It's click-up,
click-up, north cackus, commence to stick up
That's what's
within us, cack and lack, clap, buck killers quicker
Stick up the forest
misters then head up to chickens with 'em
Adrenaline's givin,
when I riff with the fifth to your chin-in
You never knew
bout how we play these innings
But you about
to play the commission
Waves are spinning,
I'm out the glaze I'm sh...ing
The real is missing
but the fraud is evident
ever so clear,
but you got the nerd to come around here with pounds of fear
Your colours wrong
you must rock edible dons with that huh?
Damn Paul, what's
that huh?
Let me get that,
with the quick snatch
If it's a little
man in you then I better put the trick back
And if it's anything
killers is fearing, I know my clit stacked for realer
(Chorus: Wyclef
Jean)
Don't wear your
colours here, that cemetery gear
I got my gun and
nine, killing's my appetite
(but that ain't
right y'all)
DON'T WEAR YOUR
COLOURS HERE! (Colours)
That cemetery
gear (Detroit, Detroit)
I got my gun and
nine from Hollywood, to your neck of the hood
(Outro: Wyclef
Jean)
Tell the FBI that
I won't be home tonight
Tell the Secret
Service I won't be home tonight
Colours, put away
your colours whoa, colours...
