Year Of The Dragon Lyrics - The Carnival - Wyclef Jean

Featuring lauryn hill 

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.
