(feat. John Forte)

[Wy-Clef Jean]


We got the Refugees All-Stars rubba dubbin' in the club

Wyclef Jean, John Forte, Prizewell.

Nah mean the streets are gettin a little crazy..

Looka looka looka looka looka

looka looka looka here looka shorty got back

should I ask her for a dance hold on theres too many in a wolf pack

and besides Dirtycash talkin to her

buyin' her fake furs and takin' her to the fever

quite as his kept that ain't even his Benz

she spends his franklins at the malls with her friends

material girl, livin' in a material world

but it's alright cause its Saturday night

so mista funkmaster pump the Bee-Gees

and all you college students bring your ouijas'

check the spellin, R E--F U G E--E get the cd from Sam Goody he he

You ain't even close wit the rhymes that you wrote

Don't be mad cause you broke

let me clear my throat ah huh ah huh

John Forte grab the mic roots sway it this way


[John Forte]


I more than just a rhymer you still a small timer

hopin that the game treat that ass a little kinda

every step tango'd

your beat dont concern me

I'm eatin mangos in Trinadad wit attorneys (oh yea)

my crews slang flow worldwide like a current

wit da every spot where nobody get insurance

brotha do the math you aint half near exotic

my man's claim true - you - forget about it

pope hoe just a new stance like my influence

well recognize you a lie tryin do it

godbless the day that my sons survive

we strive to teach the youth baby and stay alive
