[Inrto: Wyclef]
It s funny how the earth rotatesman you never know what s
gonna happenya know I mean?
All I said was "AiightI got this chiki bang bang dang da dang"
And then it all got it started for meman
Yoman I m just getting back from the tourman
What it be likeman?
Yobust itturn me up
Somebody told me if you can make in New York Citymanyou can
make it anywhere elseman
Somehow I believe that shhhh

[Chorus] (Wyclef)
Ohwhat a night
Late December1993 (what happened?)
Who thought he would rule the industry?
What an MC on the grind

[Wyclef]
YoI ain t always have whipsI ain t always have yachts
I ain t always have chipsI ain t always have rocks
Matta fact I was a grimey little negro
Who said if music didn t workI d sell diesel
What cha ll thoughtI wasn t raised in the projects?
First of the month waitin for that PA check
Lived on the first floor
Were so poor that if you rung the buzzer the roaches would answer the door (who is it?)
I went from boy to man in one night
When I saw my life flash like light from poltergeist
What made it worseI couldn t speak English
But from his facial expressionshe wanted my Adidas
So hurry up and come out and play
I ll be damned if I leave bare-footed in this hallway
And I got big plansso beg your pardon
Cause next year this time I ma sell out the Garden

[Chorus]

[Wyclef]
YoyoI ain t gonna brag and boast and say I did it all
But I m the only rapper to play Carnegie Hall
The first rap groupvideo cost a million
First rapper to ever rep for the Haitians
And sa fa sayna boolay
Grammy nightwe took 3 away
22 million soldI can t believe this
There s still ain t a rapper alive who could achieve this
But I ain t satisfiedwhen back to my home contemplating
How could I become the next Quincy Jones?
That s when Jerry hit me up on the horn and said
"Clefyour on the cover of
the cover of The Source by The Rolling Stones"
No more strugglinggood life we loving it
You could live it tooif you only publish it
So here we goso what s the scenario?
I own so many cars that I m renting em for videos

[Chorus]
