WYCLEF JEAN

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 />

<br />
