1
Yo, this is the Fugees
2
Refugees
3
About to take you on a journey
4
Into the dimensions of the Booka basement
5
The basement, word
6
Hey yo, one two three! The crew is called Re-Fu-Ge-ee-es
7
An if you come fa tes the rap style
8
Stop the violence and just bring it on, wild
9
Hey yo I, feel kind of melancholy people think they really know me
10
I keep a wrap about me while I'm driving daddy's Audi
11
I pay the toll fighting for my own soul
12
Cause the bourgeois type of mental sucks like a flat comb
13
But I be baiting the rebel base to bass distort the EQ
14
The devil's wishing they could send me back to Mogadishu
15
Cause I've been wild since I was a juvenile
16
Afro-centric profile, back when righteous rap was your style
17
Now kids are whyling so I ask the bad black
18
Boogie bandit, what's the damage, gimme the estimate then
19
Pray tell me when's the revolution will begin?
20
I turn on my TV I check out Farrakhan on CNN see
21
I'm like the phantom that's flying like the bird do
22
And things you never heard plus I come from the suburbs
23
Word to God, I heard you're acting kind of hard
24
And you got your skin scarred when they was shooting on the boulevard
25
[Chorus: Lauryn Hill]
26
(You got the vocab) I got the vocab
27
(On the real got the vocab) You know we got the vocab
28
(All my peeps got the vocab) Yeah, we got the vocab
29
Hey yo Praz, grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab
30
[Prazwell]
31
Then cast off from here to Mexico
32
You see my four-five-six a-be my Celo
33
And when I rest my head is on a pillow
34
You see the skills I manifest is very tho-rough
35
And if you don't believe me ask Freres Ja-cques
36
Freres Jacques, Freres Jacques
37
A dorme vous? A dorme vous?
38
Watch out now! When I choose to speak
39
I'm forming the cipher fly East to the Five Percenter
40
Knowledge is born, to all beginners
41
Cast the first stone, if you feel you ain't a sinner,
42
Say o-you're father, who art in heaven
43
Forgive the foolish rapper for he not know how Fugee be stepping
44
Correct and, stopped and kept in, 'nough respect to the
45
DJ, that be selecting, the type of record
46
[Chorus]
47
Hey yo Clef grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab
48
[Wyclef]
49
Check it out, here we go
50
Back in Eighty-tree, no one wanted to be nappy!
51
I turn on my TV, it's a dreadlock for free!
52
Kill the gimmick
53
It's nonsense, it's no sense or value
54
A rapper, disaster, nobody ever told me that
55
"Roxanne, you don't got to work for money no more!" and
56
Back in the days I used to listen to cool G Rap
57
Way back when before guns became gats and
58
Run-D.M.C. used to ask Mary was she bugging?
59
I loved P.E., they kept me conscious of what I was saying
60
Afrika Bambaata, Poor Righteous Teacher
61
Got within myself so it made me a Five Percenter
62
Say La-Di-Da-Di, UHH! we like to party but
63
My jam was BDP, with My Philosophy
64
Say Grandmaster Flash, MC Melle Mel
65
Then LL Cool J came with Rock the Bells!
66
See I'm the one for the crew, like a Jew is a Jew
67
Like Apollo got the moon, like the men who got the blue
68
Like the Fu got the Manchu, Chaka got the Zulu
69
Hawaii got the Honolulu
70
I got the rap lieu, so skippedy-de-bop-bop you don't stop
71
You do the rock-rock from hip-hop through be-bop
72
From be-bop to bee-bee
73
[Chorus]
74
Hey yo peeps, grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab
75
[Chorus]
76
[Lauryn] Aiyyo, bros grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab
77
