Wyclef Jean: Hollywood Meets Bollywood (Immigration)

(feat. Chamillionaire)


[Intro: Wyclef Jean]

Good morning America

I wanna welcome y'all to Egypt, the land of the pyramids, yeah

We got the UK in the house, U.S., India

Jerusalem, people in Israel, shalom~!

In the New Jerusalem, Jersey, ya HEARRRRRD me

China, Africa, South America

My people in Russia, I see y'all in Brooklyn

Canada, Asia, okay, let's go - yeah

Hollywood to Bollywood

Get ready India, I'm coming!

Wyclef, Chamillionaire, talk to them


[Chorus: Wyclef (Chamillionaire)]

Bounce (when you hear the sound of them si-rens)

Bounce (when they pull them guns cause they fi-ring)

Whoahhhh, mucho trabajo

Poquito di-ne-ro, I can't take this no more

I've got to BOUNCE! Ah-ma-na-mahh, na-ma-na-mahh-ya-lalee

(When you're on the run you'll get numb see)

Whoahhhh, let me help you a-mi-go

Hollywood meet Bollywood and Brooklyn on the drums


[Verse One: Wyclef Jean]

Marco Polo was an immigrant (yes he was)

Columbus was an immigrant (yes he was)

Even America was named after an immigrant...

... yes he was!

People in the East (right here)

People in the West (right here)

People in the North (right here)

Let me tell you 'bout the South

Harriet Tubman, Underground, Underground Railroad

ReFugees, in de seas, see them in they sailboats

I got love for Miami all day

But if my Cubans get to stay, why y'all turn my Haitians away?

Immigration knockin at my do'

I don't know what they knockin fo'

It's so hard to live as illegal aliens

Talk to 'em!


Ladies and gents, Bollywood meet Hollywood

You in the middle

Back to Cairo


[Chorus - last five words changed to "Chamillionaire, Texas go!"]


[Verse Two: Chamillionaire]

Partner named True, did you say he was next?

Tell him let's better, rally aimin to get

No green card but he made it to Tex-as

Yes, they evadin arrest

You need one he can get you three

Never gettin caught was his specialty

Livin life like he was a ReFugee

Didn't like him, give a F-U-C

K, ay man he had to chase it

Clock kept tickin so he had to race it

Had to make it, back to basics

Followin the law, naw, had to break it

Can't get a job, no applications

Need money now, no havin patience

Now they got him runnin in faster paces

You lookin through the water - hey, that's The Matrix


[Interlude: Wyclef]

Immigration knockin at my do'

I don't know what they knockin fo'

It's so hard to live as illegal aliens


[Chorus]


[Outro: Wyclef Jean]

Ladies and gentlemen, straight from Bombay

You experiencin the great composer Ab'dish

When Wyclef show up for the first time

Bollywood meet Hollywood

Over 250 violins, let's go Haiti!

We everywhere, geyeah

Carribeans stand up, bring me my elephant~!


You wanna hear me speak Punjabi, okay

(Punjabi) Okay (Punjabi) What's next?

(Punjabi) Okay (Punjabi) Okay

(Punjabi) Okay (Punjabi) Yeah

(Punjabi) [to end]
