WYCLEF JEAN - The Streets Pronounce Me Dead lyrics
rate me<br>
The return of the hip hop ammadeus<br />
Wyclef Toussaint St. Jean drama<br />
Streets prounounce me dead <i>[x6]</i><br />
I tell em I'm alive but rumor says I'm dead<br />
The reserucction of the dead... I could never get<br />
And if I ever die, all I do is ride<br />
<br />
The streets prounounce me dead<br />
Puttin 2 holes in my head<br />
At the funeral, I had more friends than the grateful dead<br />
Haters started talkin sayin I went left<br />
Akon took my spot will I am took my vest<br />
Started beatin on the coffin cause I could hear the crowd<br />
But they can't hear me cause lil' jon's preachin too loud<br />
That's when the bishop said last words for friends and family<br />
Then the fans stood up and said y'all forgot the fugees<br />
50 million records sold straight from the basement<br />
How y'all gon tell me wyclef is irrelevant<br />
A rapper stood up and said yup I got amnesia<br />
Last time I remember him was gone til novemeber<br />
He said I don't spit no more all I do is sing songs<br />
Last time he felt me was when I rhymed with Big Pun<br />
That's ightt get the hate off ya chest<br />
You a rap con artist not a Kanye West (I AINT DEAD!)<br />
<br />
Streets prounounce me dead <i>[x6]</i><br />
I tell em I'm alive but rumor says I'm dead<br />
The reserruction of the dead... I could never get<br />
And if I ever die, all I do is ride<br />
<br />
I mean the streets say it's been a while since they heard me spit<br />
That I spit so hard my ghostwriter must be cannubis<br />
But far permit, this is how I started<br />
But my battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the super market<br />
So I found another target to aim at<br />
I went from food stamps to the black a mac's<br />
8 track cassettes the cd's the ipod's<br />
Bmx bixes the hoopdies the hot rods<br />
And my swag come from nazareth<br />
How you gone say I'm dead when I rose like lazareth<br />
And this ain't mystic I ain't talkin voodoo<br />
We do carry spears like the zulu's<br />
So watch your mouth boy I ain't dead<br />
Fo' the city gon turn red, blood will shed<br />
So before you speak boy watch your tone<br />
Fo' my chrome gon turn you to a statue of stone (I AINT DEAD!)<br />
<br />
Streets prounounce me dead <i>[x6]</i><br />
I tell em I'm alive but rumor says I'm dead<br />
The reserruction of the dead... I could never get<br />
And if I ever die, all I do is ride<br />
<br />
They all got shocked when I rose from the coffin<br />
Dust my self off then headed out to new jerusalem<br />
Destroyed and rebuilt<br />
My voice sound like silk<br />
Audio tune like milk<br />
I used to shop lift with no guilt<br />
And christimas time toy guns the size of elves<br />
I seen the ra-ta-ta-ta turn into the real shells<br />
Yup killa you press ya luck<br />
Went to sleep in the pond, woke up with the ducks<br />
And this ain't gangsta talk, I don't talk the talk<br />
I suggest you walk or get outlined in chalk<br />
And you ain't from the street<br />
But yet you walk the streets, you a C.O.P. a cop walkin the beat<br />
But the rule on the streets they could turn on you<br />
Like a pitbull after givin him food<br />
Or the girl that you bought all the cars and the jewels<br />
Only to find out on memorial dey fuckin in the swimmin pool (I AINT DEAD!)<br />
<br />
Streets prounounce me dead <i>[x6]</i><br />
I tell em I'm alive but rumor says I'm dead<br />
The reserruction of the dead... I could never get<br />
And if I ever die, all I do is ride<br />
<br />
Yea<br />
Warriors music<br />
Drama<br />
From the hut, to the projects, to the mansions<br />
So ya'll know you ya'll ain't got no excuses<br />
<br />
I'm aliveeee<br />
