[wyclef jean]<br>Lets go<br>So so you think you can tell<br>Heaven from hell<br>Blue skies from pain<br>Can you tell a green field<br>From a cold steel rail<br>A smile from a fair<br>Do you think you can tell<br>Did they get you to trade<br>Your heros for goals<br>Hot ashes for trees<br>Hot air for a cool breeze<br>Cold comfort for change<br>Did you exchange<br>A walk on part in the war<br>For a lead role in the game<br><br>Whether you listenin to hip hip-hop<br>Or you tuning to rock<br>Refugees on your box<br>We gonna take over ya blocks<br><br>Lets go<br>How I wish, how I wish you were here<br>We're jus two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year<br>Runnin over the same old ground<br>But have we found the same old fears<br>Wish you were here<br><br>Whether you listenin to rock<br>Or pumpin the hip hip hop<br>Refugees on your box<br><br>Critics don't mistake this for just any cover tune<br>I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon<br>Kickin in my moms room this song was just a thought<br>A young refugee labeled, jus come with a passport<br>Dad used to tell me about the american dream<br>My dream was waking up the projects<br>A young teen listening to hip hop<br>My brother tune me into rock<br>Put me up on pink floyd and banned from the british blocks<br><br>Whether you pumpin the hip hip hop<br>Or you tuning to rock<br>Refugees on your box<br>We gonna take over the blocks<br>From n.j to bk to the u.k
