Carnival

Intro:

Yeah, i was looking out my window
When i heard this sound
Look up into the sky
Saw the moon turned to blood
Looked at my little brother
Said, "you high as hell maaan"

Chorus:

Apocalypse..
1,2 the headlines youths just rolled through
Apocalypse..
3,4 solder, 100 horsemen at your door
Apocalypse..
5,6 you wanted dead or alive, hit or miss
We we y'all, yeah, we we y'all

Verse one:

Arrival of the carnival
New beats, i never recycle
While your looking for samples
You might get trampled
Surprise, hey
I'm back with lightning and thunder
I heard you over saying that i was a one year wonder
You dumb or some, i went to refugees
Silly felony, when i'm done
Collect royalty from record company's
Clouds getting darker
Suns getting nearer
I'll turn a atheist into a god fearing believer
The back of a building
Your body's found by children
Playin' hide go seek
All we found was his skeleton
In the back of a car
You spawned with the wrong guard
You know my empire strikes back hard
Listen hard, war
This is the day after action
Projects, cannons
Being launched at the palace
Vision, revelation
Sky know apocalypse
Enemy pilots kamikaze into the abyss

Chorus:

Apocalypse..
1,2 the headlines youths just rolled through
Apocalypse..
3,4 solder, 100 horsemen at your door
Apocalypse..
5,6 you wanted dead or alive, hit or miss
We we y'all, yeah, we we y'all, yeah, we we y'all

Verse two:

Aiyyo, back on earth
The party is in the tunnel
On the west side of the river
Went mad quiver
Rats get fed to the alligator
Gun blast equivalent to the bombs in pearl harbor
Rescue choppers broke the turn to hiroshima
I'm driving to jersey to escape the terror
I was on the highway pushing a black viper
A car pulls up, is he a jack or a sniper (sniper)
A blue range rover, he says pull over
I didn't know he was a dt undercover
I screamed out my lungs
This is discrimination!
He tried, he said you just robbed a gas station
Who me? not me! it couldn't be
I was in the grammys with brandy
Didn't you see me on tv?
Bullshit, yall all in the same game
He tried to run me off the road
Like he was rosco, rico or dre
I stayed calm, gave him a hell of a show
Cause when its time to go
All i gotta press is turbo
Heard it on his walkie, road block on 280 west
Things got serious, that's when i bust a left
U-turn, my eyes burned
My concern was a truck coming
Head on collision within a chase position
Close one, i almost went up in a blaze
Running from what appears to be a masquerade
Least that what i thought, it was all in my mind
Reality stuck when i got to the borderline
The headline reads every ghettos sad story
A rookie shoots a boy over mistaken identity...
(crash)

Chorus repeat (2x)

Men sa le monde antye tap tann
Wyclef ki sot nan fugee.

Jeremi! ayiti! potoprins! flatbush!
Sou'w fyè desko'w se ayisyen mache

Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora (4 fwa)

Depwi mwen piti mwen te kite ayiti
Gen sa ki al brooklyn gen sa ki al miami
Poukisa jamariken toujou di se jamariken?
Men ayisyen pè di li se ayisyen
Poukisa ou pè di non'w se samyèl?
Poukisa ou pé di'w ave'k izrayèl?
Poukisa chak swa wap domi ak jezabèl?
Ou pè di fanm ayisyen ke yo bèl?
Pa'm nan bèl

Mwen respekte non'w tankou mwen
Respekte zanj gabriyèl
Men nèg dyaspora vle mennen nou nan otèl
Tonben pale anglè vire "playboy channel"
Yo pa respekte izrayèl

Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora

Si se dyaspora li ye mape voye' l bay reken

Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora

Si se dyaspora li ye aswè a nap dezame'l

Dyaspora ha ha o le men
Mape pran li jete'l nan prizon
Map fè'l konnen kiyès ki tousen
Map fè'l konnen kiyès ki desalin
Aprè sa nou mèt lage'l voye'l back brooklyn
Pou la'l jwenn manman'n kap fe manje nan kwizin
Mannan'n gade li di gason ou chanje
Li di mwen chanje paske se ayisyen mwen ye
Yo te ban mwen yon leson, yo te mete'm nan prison
Mwen wè dyaspora fi, dyaspora gason
Gen sa ki pap tounen yape domi a pwason
Yo pedi konesans kankou yo fèt san relijyon
Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye mape voye'w bay reken
Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye aswè a nap dezame'w

Nèg potoprins pa respekte dyspora ank¨°
Nèg flatbush pa respekte dyspora
Nèg canada pa respekte dyspora
Nèg miami pa respekte dyaspora

Depwi mwen piti mwen te kite ayiti
Gen sa ki al brooklyn gen sa ki al miami
Poukisa jamariken toujou di se jamariken?
Men ayisyen pè di li se ayisyen
Poukisa ou pè di non'w se samyèl?
Poukisa ou pè di'w ave'k israyèl?
Poukisa chak swa wap domi ak jezabèl?
Ou pè di fanm ayisyen ke yo bèl?
Pa'm nan bèl

Mwen respekete nou tankou mwen
Respekte zanj gabriyèl
Men nèg dyaspora vle mennen noun nan otèl
Tonben pale angle vire "playboy channel"
Yo pa respekte izrayèl

Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora

Si se dyaspora ou ye mape voyo'w bay reken

Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora

Si se dyaspora ou ye aswè a nap dezame'w
Pa kayos pa respekte dyaspora
Papa djoume pa respekte dyaspora
Refugees pa respekte dyaspora
Nèg florida pa respekte dyaspora
Malfini bagay yo pral fini mal,
Sou'w derespekte natif natal
Malfini bagay yo pral fini mal
Derespekte ayisyen ou pral kout fistibal
Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye mape voyo'w bay reken
Dyaspora n'pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye aswè a nap dezame'w

(they told me something girls from pétion-ville don't want nigga's
With nappy heads well i've got a nappy head)

Intro:

Yo, wyclef, it's time that i confess (refugee camp) to all the girls
(don't do it, don't do it)
*singing* to all the girls i loved before
*rapping* to all the girls i cheated on before
*singing* to all the girls i loved before

* verse 1

To all the girls i cheated on before, i tip my hat like willie nelson
You got pressure, take a sip of this molson
Here's what happened, it wasn't my intentions
To fall into seduction while playing a temptation
I thought i had it figured out, but games don't last
The hourglass ran out, i got sprayed with the tear gas
Big men don't cry, hold my feelings inside
Stress brings me ?, i gotta hold my pride
When i see you with another guy, jealous thoughts of homicide
Call me selfish when i say abraham has many wives
You say this is the 90's, either it's gonna be me or her
I found myself in a blur
Lookin' into the clouds thinkin' out loud
"i'm in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?"

Chorus:

To all the girls i cheated on before, it's a new year
I got a new change of gear, i swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive but never forget, so the past reappears, uh huh
To all the girls i cheated on before, it's a new year
I got a new change of gear, i swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive, but you still think that i'm a ho

Verse 2:

Second verse is gonna hurt, based on a true life story
I got married at 24 in new jersey
You know the feelings start nature take it's course
Two years later 'clef gets a divorce
When i had the cold feet, i shouldn't've walked the altar
With dionne warwick, she could predict my future
Went with my feelings even though it wasn't right
Creepin' with my secret lover in the middle of the night
Back home, break of dawn, dinner's at the table
Thin line between love and hate is on cable
I'm lookin' at myself thinkin' out loud
"i'm in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?"

Repeat chorus

Break: (includes elements from rapper's delight)

Hotel, (i'm not a) motel, holiday inn (you don't believe me though)
And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you take her friend
Hotel, (i'm not a) motel, holiday inn (you don't believe me though)
And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you snatch her friend

Break it down right here

Verse 3:

One love, you're lucky to have one love
It sounds bugged, drinking wine from the same jug
One heart, one mind, one soul
She ain't a gold digger, she don't care about your bank-roll
Keep your money, she make her own cheddar
All she want from me is respect like aretha
Cooked me lasagne, stayed in for the winter
Chilled to the summer, now i'm gone 'til november
Have you seen her?
I think i did
But what i did wrong was take a love for granted
Cause first comes trust, don't rush into lust
Easier said than done, i lust and i must
Passion is a must, but then we start to cuss
We was just makin' love, now we tearing up each other's guts
Like species, she called me an animal
So feel the tongue of the warm-blooded mammal

Repeat chorus

Outro:

I'm not a ho (repeat and dimminuendo at the same time)
(you don't believe me though)
I know you're diggin' this
Is it ok if i play my guitar right about now, is it alright?
(you don't believe me though)
Alright (you don't believe me though), alright
People in the back, is it ok if i play my guitar right about now?
Alright, alright, alright, alright
People on the side, is it ok if i play my guitar right about now?

Lawyer: your honor, i would like to call my first witness
To the stand. all the way from east l.a., your honor,
Pablo diablo.
Pablo: hey! guantana mira. hey, my lovin' is for everyone, man.
Do you know it reminds me of the summertime in the
Bungalows of spain, all night in the park.
Eh, you would hear your music. it would be on the eighth
Floor, but the pongos they reach up there, man!
We used to keep the whole neighborhood up.
(singing) guantanamara!
Lawyer: thank you, pablo, for nothing. jesus christ,
What a moron. no further questions, your honor.

*tropical music playing in background*

Yo yo i wanna give a shoutout to the world this is wyclef
Cold chillin out here with my pina colada yeah baby
I'm in the islands, cold relaxin
Right about now the carnival's gon change phases
If you got your ticket, man, you're allowed to come with me
Yo, for right now i'm gon chill at the beach
Check out the pretty girls layin back, you know how we do playa yo
I'm out here in the sun baby it's all good!

Intro:
(sirens) yo yes yes yo. lock your door. die die die (x6)

Wyclef:
I remember comin' from hati growin' up in brooklyn
On flat bush got my first sneakers tooken
Learn the game quick so i got my first device
Mom move to jersey so we could get a better life
But little did she know a ghetto is a ghetto
Good time found myself like jimmy walker sayin' "cello"

Lauryn:
Yellow cheese bus gettin' beatings if i cuss
Lay away another day in stripped lees and letegrays
But the lyrical bomber momma tried to stop
Paranoid cause this boy around my neighborhood got shot
Name plate hair straight metal braces on my teeth
Fat laces on my feet when crack first hits the streets

Wyclef:
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 ass with my mothers leather lash
Belt buckle said nelly nel similar to melle mel
Hits the third rail beat street made gazzels sells

Lauryn:
As the tale gets poetic watch the streets turn magnetic
Towanna balley's rape is alleged
Hang out in hooky places watch streets corners turn to oasis
Young men aspire to be scarfaces

Hook:
In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't be around next year

Wyclef talking:
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

Wyclef:
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 fuckin' little raheim
Damn, drugs 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 armarretto please as i fell to my knees
Being shot by fergusin the vigilante

Hook

Wyclef talking:
So cnn nawhati'msayin? fergusin is at court and he's his own lawyer
Youknowmean 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

Lauryn:
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

Hook

Wyclef talking:
Yo i'm frustrated youknowhati'mean? use to work at mcdonalds just got
Fired.
If i get in i'm sprayin' everybody the boss the manager yo these are
Definatly 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. pharoh let my people
Go.
Yo watch your back. last days. 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.

Intro: (spoken)

I dedicate this record, "the carnival" to all you brothers takin' long
Trips down south, virginia, baltimore, all around the world, and your
Girl gets this message that you ain't comin' back. she's sittin' back
In the room, the lights are off, she's cryin', and then my voice comes in
Pow!, in the middle of the night, and this is what i told her for you

Chorus: (sung)

Every time i make a run, girl, you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See, you must understand, i can't work a 9 to 5
So i'll be gone 'til november
Said i'll be gone 'til november, i'll be gone 'til november
Yo, tell my girl, yo, i'll be gone 'til november
I'll be gone 'til november, i'll be gone 'til november
Yo, tell my girl, yo, i'll be gone 'til november
January, february, march, april, may
I see you cryin', but girl, i can't stay
I'll be gone 'til november, i'll be gone 'til november
And give a kiss to my mother

Verse 1: (sung)

When i come back, there'll be no need to clock
I'll have enough money to buy out blocks
Tell my brother, "go to school in september"
So he won't mess up in summer school in the summer
Tell my cousin, jerry, wear his condom
If you don't wear condom, you'll see a red lump
Woh oh oh oh
You sucker mc's, you got no flow
I heard your style, you're s-o s-o

Repeat chorus

Verse 2: (rap)

I had to flip nuttin' and turn it into somethin'
Hip-hop turns to the future rock when i smash a punk (bing!)
Commit treason, then i'll have a reason to hunt you down
It's only right, it's rappin' season
Yeah, you with the loud voice, posin' like you're top choice
Your voice, i'll make a hearse out of your rolls royce
Besides, i got my girl to remember
And i'll commit it that i'll be back in november

Repeat chorus

I know the hustle's hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival

In closing, ladies and gentlemen of the jury
I'm not gonna sit here and bore you with a long, drawn out story
Or excuse, of why i think wyclef is guilty
I'm gonna stand by the exhibits as well as the tapes
And songs such as jeapordy, til novemeber, all the girls,
And bubblegoose, which stand side by side with my allegations
I rest my case

Ok, uhh, ladiessss, and gentle-men, of the juwy
As you can see nuttin has been proven here today
Deez witnesses dey brought ere don't not have evidence
To incriminate my client eh?
If he's not guilty he's innocent
If he's not detrimental to the society therefore he positive!
As i say before, dis case is pure bishop

Your honor see, this, this is exactly what i'm talkin about
I mean i've been meaning to ask this the whole time
Who the hell is bishop?
Eh?
And and why the hell hasn't he been brought on the stand?
Bishop, bishop, not true, false, bishop
Ohh, bullshit!
Oui

Intro:

I got the skully to my face (hardcore)
I got the skully to my face (hardcore)
Cause anything can happen at the carnival
(yo make room, make room, make room, make room, make room)
You can't stop the shining
Yo, don't slip mike
You don't want to go there is all, trust me
I know your girl wit you, but you don't want to get embarassed
Trust me

Chorus:

Yo, when you're rolling to the carnival, anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen
Making love to your girlfriend, anything can happen
What? say what, say what, anything can happen
She's sleepin wit your best friend cause anything can happen
Wh-a-at? say what, say what, anything can happen
You roll down the block, come back with your gat
And pow, cause anything can happen

Verse one:

Feel this composition, it's a brand new dub
First thing i did, was went to the pub
Tequila with worm, lemon, salt, and no rocks
Cause when it hits my chest -- it gots to be hot
Uh haha, stop, 'clef can i rock, yo
Get out the bathroom, let me go again from the top
Feel this composition, i wrote it in the tub
First thing i did, was went to the pub
Tequila with worm, lemon, salt, and no rocks
Cause when it hits my chest -- it gots to be hot
Ahhh, stop, 'clef can i rock
I'd like to give a shout out to my people on the block
For you silly willy playin thug cartoon
My infrared scope got your movements on zoom
Boom new toon, write songs in my room
Sleeping with the bride, even though i ain't the groom
Your husband assume, come back with his goons
Put me in the trunk on your way to your honeymoon
Radio my platoon, wyclef to sev'
'i hear them playing elvis, they on they way to graceland
But they don't scare me, i'm in the trunk, i ain't sorry
Natural born killer, who slept with the enemy'
Think quick, what should i do, what did double-oh-seven do?
I pulled a bomb from my shoe (hahahahaha)
And exploded the trunk (blaooww) i woke up half drunk
Over looked by a bunch of gypsies wit a bag of skunk

Chorus:

You got the skully to your face, star, anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen
Sellin crack in the corner, man, anything can happen
What? say what, say what anything can happen
I just got laid off, anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen
You don't wanna go there, cause anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen

Verse two:

Aiyyo, anything can happen, you can't stop the shining
You lookin at my watch, but my mind's really the diamond
Nine to the seven, you better off steppin
When i'm writin with my pen, it turns into a lethal weapon (ding!)
Take this lesson, to your next session
I suggest, you practice with the freshman
Sophomore, junior, then come check the senior
By then i would have graduated from the school of ruckus
Wyclef and jerry wonder, last of the producers
If the royalty ain't right, i put a call to donny eina
But always stay humble went from bummy to neat
Cause money break groups up like the five heartbeats
Don't get souped cause you, pushin a coupe
Next year you on foot, runnin from a lawsuit
For example, i know i'm nice, i don't front it
Least anticipated, to the most wanted
Yeah, that's me in the spotlight
With a mic and a guitar, like m.o.p., i like it raw

Chorus:

Yo, when you're rollin to the carnival, anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen
Every man got disciples, anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen
Its all about survival man, anything can happen
Hah, say what, say what, anything can happen
You lookin at me wrong, man, anything can happen
What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen

Will the knicks win the championship this year?
Say what, say what, anything can happen
Will we find some peace of mind this year?
Say what, say what, anything can happen
You ready for the revolution this year?
Say what, say what, anything can happen
Will you make love with no condom this year?
No no, no no, that will never happen

The record is not over yet
The record is not over yet
The record is not over yet
Where the ladies at? put yo' hands in the air!

And for the ladies, we won't play you
If you proud, shake what yo mama gave you, hey!
Whether your fat or slim, bubble your ting
Fellas if you need help, use ginseng
And for the ladies, we won't play you
If you fat, shake what yo mama gave you, hey!
Whether your fat or slim, bubble your ting
Refugee thugs hang at the roller rink

Roller skatin baby
Carnival (make room, for the carnival, make room)
And it don't, nine-seven to infinity
Rest in peace, rest in peace
And the record is not over yet, the record is not over yet
It is not, the record (fades out)

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

Smooth and charizmatic automatic

Godbless the day that my sons survive
We strive to teach the youth baby and stay alive

Multi million pension plans
But it aint in my plan to make move without the fam
