***Wyclef***
We got the refugee allstars rub-a-dubbin' in the club
Wyclef Jean, John Forte, Praswell
Nah mean the streets are gettin' a little crazy
Looka looka looka looka looka looka
Looka looka here, look a shorty got back
Should I ask her for a dance? hold on, there's too many in the wolfpack
And besides, Dirtycash talkin' to her
Buying her fake furs and takin' her to the fever
Quiet is he kept, it ain't even his benz
She spends his Franklin's at the malls with her friends
Material girl livin' in a material world
But it's all right cause it's Saturday night
So Mr. Funkmaster, pump the Begees
And all you college students playing oiujas
Check the spelling R-E-F-U-G-E-
E get the CD from Sam Good he he he
You ain't even close with the rhymes that you wrote
Don't be mad cause you're broke
Let me clear my throat uh-uh uh-uh
John Forte, grab the microphone, sway it this way
***John Forte***
I'm more than just a rhymer, you still a small-timer
Hoping at the game treat that a** a little kinder
Every step tango'd
Your beef don't concern me
I'm eating mangos in Trinidad with attorneys
My crews slang flow world wide like a current
With your area's spot with nobody got insurance
Brother do the math you ain't half near exotic
My man's claim true, you forget about it
Pope hoe just a new stance like my influance
World recognized you and I try to do that
Got juiced on your lady
Oops, me nuts baby
Smooth and carismatic automatic, you gonna say me
God bless the day that my son survived
We strive to teach the youth baby, and stay alive
***Wyclef and Praswell(Dirtycash)***
Refugee camp, nice baby
John Forte, you watch your lady
Watch your lady
Especially around Dirtycash
Yo, if you got more than a dollar in your pocket right now, put your hands up
***Praswell(Dirtycash)***
Yo, yo, well you can tell by the way I roll, shorty
That I'm a lady's man, a buisness man
Condos down the shore, multi-million pension plan
But it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fan
I keep it intact, yo Clef, do the track
John, play the mack while I
Pay the tax, business as usual
Watching suspects, still my assets
Get cut with G-lets
We built this concept
Connect like Ninex
Drinks at the bar my American Express
***Wyclef***
Yo I a cook up cook up
The cop pull up pull up
Then I cuff up cuff up you
Who's callin' bluff?
Now you shook up shook up
Cause you lock up lock up
Man I love up love up you
Who's callin' bluff?
Hey yo, John is chillin'
Dirtycash dealin'
What more can I say? we livin'
That's what we got
We got it good
Since you understood
We be...
Staying alive
***Praswell(Dirtycash)***
Live at the carnival
'97 till infinity
Refugee allstars
You can't stop the shining
You can't stop the shining
You can't stop the shining
You can't stop the shining
You wanna stop the shining?
You wanna stop the shining?
You wanna stop the shining?
You wanna stop the shining?
You can't stop the shining
You can't stop the shining
You wanna stop the shining?
You can't stop the shining
