Inspired By Whitney Houston Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]

[Whitney Houston]
Hey yo this is Whitney Houston
Big up to my life Wyclef Jean

[Wyclef Jean]
So check it out, one day I was in the studio with the Queen of Pop; Whitney Houston. And I was like 'Whitney, you know we both from Jersey right. Let's take em back to the street. She said..

[Hook: Whitney Houston]
Its not right, but its okay
Wyclef kill sound boys everyday
Refugee sound thats all we need
To all sound boys back 'way and leave

[Verse 1: Wyclef Jean]
Uh, welcome to Newark to New Jersey Drive
Hot wire your car for a joyride
Shotta you show up with big guns and big spears
My teacher said they gone give me they electric chair
Welcome to my backyard, my pit wears a muzzle
Its a maze and we're living in a puzzle
Welcome to the jungle, I bought the roses they bought the guns
Communicating with hand signs
Like we waving at the sun
[Hook: Whitney Houston]
Its not right, but its okay
Wyclef kill sound boys everyday
Refugee sound thats all we need
To all sound boys back 'way and leave

[Verse 2: Wyclef Jean]
I bet you better wise up
Cause Clef ain't the one you should size up
I use to climb the project building like spider kit
Not all of us was drug dealers some was stick up kids
Touye manman ou, Touye manman ou
Touye manman ou, Touye manman ou
What that mean in creole? killing your mom
Call the undertaker, grave digger, coroner
What's the name of your new gun? call him life taker

[Hook: Whitney Houston]
Its not right, but its okay
Wyclef kill sound boys everyday
Refugee sound thats all we need
To all sound boys back 'way and leave
