Yeah, yeah

Wyclef Jean, Choppa Zoe

This the life, this the struggle

And I’mma show ‘em how to hustle.

This the life, this the struggle

And I’mma show ‘em how to hustle.

Hook:

I’m on my Cuba, buenos dias, social club, hey, hey, hey

Some fall for the Colombian, yeah, yeah

I’m rolling with the Panamanians

And I’m moving with Dominicans,

I’m trying to have a conversation with the Mexicans.

One life, one heart

Stay, stay at the…

I got this celebrate cause I ain’t promised tomorrow.

I swear this life’s Heaven, cause I came from here

Set the game on flame, watch me give the here

17, I was locked down in a cell

Man, it’s like pay for me, it’s what I told myself.

Age coming on the momma, know she need the help

Hater still in the rage, no they need the help, yeah

Should have …for pres, could that would have helped

Came at 21, never made Forbes self.

79… to chase the wealth

18 did the same just to chase the wealth

Game of spades, playing every card it needed dealt

She was a 8, 9, 10, cause the money helped

Cuban mommy got the juice, so I call it wealth.

It was only 8, I ain’t never seen bad as hell

Instead of standing like a man, suck a nigga…

She made all on the zone all by herself

I’m putting on for my city, all by myself.

I was moving all the.. all by myself

I refuse to keep working them odd jobs

A nigga cry hard, it’s why…

I’m on my Cuba, buenos dias, social club, hey, hey, hey

Some fall for the Colombian, yeah, yeah

I’m rolling with the Panamanians

And I’m moving with Dominicans,

I’m trying to have a conversation with the Mexicans.

One life, one heart

Stay, stay at the…

I got this celebrate cause I ain’t promised tomorrow.

I’m on my fellow cutie shit I, ran for president

They say I got no residence..

All I wanted to do is bring my country a new dream

They thought I had the policies like idiomic, yeah!

I paint the pictures with them pictures with my rap line (Picasso)

..soldiers guarding diamond mines.

AK 47 is the gun of choice

A million voices, left for wonder and no choice.

Hootsie tootsie, what’s next?

Everybody got a.. we all throwing sets.

I have a whole gang in… Cuba, rap in that Santa Maria!

Gave up, boy that track with the Latin blue

Believers better be on board, I’m on what I know is flood, yeah

Man, I landed in America, like Eddy Murphy, man, coming to America.

Real talk, man, I work in ‘em fast foods

Fuck the managers! They’re all rude!

You can’t see the vision of a young man

I had a plan to get a Big Bang.

This the life, this the struggle

And I’mma show ‘em how to hustle.

This the life, this the struggle

And I’mma show ‘em how to hustle.

Hook:

I’m on my Cuba, Buenos dias social club, hey, hey, hey

I’m in the club with the Nigerians

And by the way she is moving, man you know she is Brazilian.

And I.. with Dominicans

Then it’s about… and I’m heading to the motherland

One life, one heart

Stay, stay at the…

I got this celebrate cause I ain’t promised tomorrow.

Me and the Mexicans got something in common (what’s that?)

We all got problems with immigrations.

Why are you trying to send my parents back to their country?

Many people embark for the land of their friends.

I was raised with ‘em grizzly, grizzly bears

And the way you’re running, they can smell the fear

And I can see your eyes, you ain’t ready for this

And I can see the future, Nostradamus.

And I can see the present, it’s on my laptop

Playing the game of life on my X-Box

..that photo looking like real life

..in a suit, Miami vice

And be clear, this is more than rappers real words

We do them real movies, Spielberg

Have you heard? Then the rule’s back

The world’s on its feet every time we rap

Gotta make sense, every sentence

This is morning rap, is real life…

Crew TV, 3D vision, it’s Stevie Wonder, superstition!

One life, one heart

Stay, stay at the…
