Year of the Dragon (Explicit) - Wyclef Jean/Ms. Lauryn Hill

Written by：N. Jean/L. Hill/J. Duplessis/G. Summers

I remember comin' from Haiti growin' up in Brooklyn

On Flatbush got my first sneakers tooken

Learn the game quick so I got my first device

Mom moved to Jers' so we could get a better life

But little did she know a ghetto is a ghetto

Good times found myself like Jimmie Walker sayin'

Cello

Yellow cheese bus gettin' beatings if I cuss

Lay away another day in stripped Lees and Le Tigres

But the lyrical bomber momma tried to stop

Paranoid cause this boy around my neighborhood got shot

Name plait hair straight metal braces on my teeth

Fat laces on my feet when crack first hits the streets

I use to push up on a girl Salt N Peppa Push It Push It

D's in school cause the music was my focus

Jokes in class but when I learned I didn't pass

I knew it was my a** with my mothers leather lash

Belt buckle said Nelly Nel similar to Melle Mel

Hits the third rail Beat Street made Gazzels sells

As the tale gets poetic watch the streets turn magnetic

Tawana Brawley's R**e is alleged

Hang out in hooky places watch streets corners turn to oasis

Young men aspire to be Scarfaces

In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear

Quiet as it's kept they won't be back next year

Yo yo watch out for the black van

Yo yo last days last days planes

Exploding yo close your door yo nobody's safe

Halloween October 31

Yo

Close your door yo kids are disappearing

Yo

Late at night the light was bright on the ave

I went to pick up cash from my cousin little Kev

He told me Joe had a dream in jail he got steamed

His wife became a fiend f**kin' little Raheem

Damn *** will make you do terrible things

He told me when he get out he's murdering by any means

The day came I saw him on the train

He pulled his gun and aimed and started firing like the son of Kane

I saw civilians runnin' for their life

Like the devil on judgement night running from Christ

Ice and Amaretto please as I fell to my knees

Being shot by Ferguson the vigilante

In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear

Quiet as it's kept they won't be back next year

So CNN na what I'm saying

Ferguson is at court and he's his own lawyer

You know mean what's goin' on

Talk to me

This is definatly the last days

Jewish calendar has already arrived the year 2000

Watch ya back watch ya back watch ya back die die die die

Clef it kind of remind me of this chick I once knew

Use to be a dime now she's strung out in Bellevue

See the serpent played tricks run game like the Knicks

Build you up just to lose the championship

I seen her reminisce over Wu-Tang could It Be that Simple

She lost her Prince cause there were Thieves In the Temple

Tragic depression made her lose all her teeth

Lost and turned out gave her body to the streets

Sweet Mary don't you weep

Still water runs deep

So be carful of the company you keep

In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear

Quiet as it's kept they won't be back next year

Yo I'm frustrated you know hat I'mean

Use to work at McDonalds just got

Fired

If I get in I'm sprayin' everybody the boss the manager yo these are

Definitely the last days

Yo here he comes with his gun yo duck duck Black

Panther yo nobody's protected yo

6-6-6 watch your back don't get caught in

The rapture yo AIDS

Moses the plaque watch your back Pharaoh let my people Go

Yo watch your back

Last days

Nobody's protected

Yo my little

Sister is Rosey Sharen yo

Yo nobody's protected

Not even Rosey Sharen

Nobody's protected

Yo you come try to get my sister I'm a get you first

I'm a be driving a hearse

Cause nobody's protected
