[Wyclef Jean]

Lets go

So so you think you can tell

heaven from hll

Blue skies from pain

Can you tell a green field

from a cold steel rail

A smile from a fair

do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade

your heros for goals

Hot ashes for trees

Hot air for a cool breeze

Cold comfort for change

Did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

for a lead role in the game



whether you listenin to hip hip-hop

or you tuning to rock

refugees on your box

we gonna take over ya blocks



lets go

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're jus two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year

Runnin over the same old ground

But have we found the same old fears

Wish you were here



whether you listenin to rock

or pumpin the hip hip hop

refugees on your box



Critics don't mistake this for just any cover tune

I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon

Kickin in my moms room this song was just a thought

A young refugee labeled, jus come with a passport

Dad used to tell me about the American dream

My dream was waking up the projects

a young teen listening to hip hop

my brother tune me into rock

put me up on pink floyd and banned from the british blocks



whether you pumpin the hip hip hop

or you tuning to rock

refugees on your box

we gonna take over the blocks

from n.j to bk to the u.k
