Text:
Wy-Clef Jean
We got the Refugees All-Stars rubba dubbin’ in the club
Wyclef Jean, John Forte, Prizewell.
Nah mean the streets are gettin a little crazy..
looka looka looka here looka shorty got back
should I ask her for a dance hold on theres too many in a wolf pack
and besides Dirtycash talkin to her
buyin’ her fake furs and takin’ her to the fever
quite as his kept that ain’t even his Benz
she spends his franklins at the malls with her friends
material girl, livin’ in a material world
but it’s alright cause its Saturday night
so mista funkmaster pump the Bee-Gees
and all you college students bring your ouijas’
check the spellin, R E—F U G E—E get the cd from Sam Goody he he
You ain’t even close wit the rhymes that you wrote
Don’t be mad cause you broke
let me clear my throat ah huh ah huh
John Forte grab the mic roots sway it this way
John Forte
I more than just a rhymer you still a small timer
hopin that the game treat that ass a little kinda
every step tango’d
your beat dont concern me
I’m eatin mangos in Trinadad wit attorneys (oh yea)
my crews slang flow worldwide like a current
wit da every spot where nobody get insurance
brotha do the math you aint half near exotic
my man’s claim true — you — forget about it
well recognize you a lie tryin do it
got juice told your lady oops
we nuts baby
smooth and charizmatic automatic
you gonna save me
godbless the day that my sons survive
we strive to teach the youth baby and stay alive
Wy-Clef
Refugee camp

John Forte

you can tell by the way I roll shorty that I’m a ladies man
a business man
condos down the shore
multi million pension plans
but it aint in my plan to make move without the fam
I keep it intact
