Wyclef]

Yo, the Brooklyn Bridge is going to collapse yo

Yo, this is Wyclef Jean the Refugee Allstars up in here

The CNN for the world

Yo what's this I here about the police in Brooklyn?

Turn this jam up yo

Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

I want the whole world to hear this joint right here (apocalypse baby)

Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

You asked for it buddy, here it comes...



[Wyclef - Hook] - 2x

One, two ; watch out for the man in blue

Three, four; I keep it raw and hardcore

Five, six; you're beating us with nightsticks

Seven, eight; I'm forced to pack a thirty-eight

Nine, ten; you put me in a pen

if I could do it all again, I'd probably bust your chin



[Wyclef - Verse One]

I'm from a land of black bats, alley rats and cats

Scratch up my car, set me up for the carjack

Under pressure, I've got a legal gat

Two straps, a total of sixteen caps

Say something positive? More positivity

More positivity, more police brutality

Thugs get angry, the violence increase

You want peace, make Wyclef chief of police

Riding through the hood it's the same old story

It's either you play ball or you drug dealy-dealy

Standing on the block when the spot gets hot

Guaranteed to get set up, by a crooked cop

So I'm sittin back, rhyming on instrumentals

Anything I touch, it turns monumental

Me and Jerry Wonder, we keep it credible for the streets

At the same time we've gotta eat

When we commercialize it's to enterprise

We're guaranteed to sell a hundred mil before we die

But Jerry is broke, that's the situation

Nine-seven, it's like no more eviction

No more war milk, no more government cheese

Police keep on shooting at our bulletproof Bentleys



[Pre-chorus]

Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

The Brooklyn Bridge is about to collapse, apocalypse

This the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

The ghetto is fed up, we got the arms in the air



[Hook] - 1x



[Wyclef - Verse Two]



Hey yo, back on Earth, the party's still at the Tunnel

on the West side of the river, what man quiver

Rats get fed to the alligator

Gun blasts equivalent to the bombs in Pearl Harbor

Rescue choppers, Brooklyn turned 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?

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!

What's the charge?'

He said, 'You just robbed a gas station'

'Who me? Not me! It couldn't be,

I was at the Grammy's with L-Boogie, didn't you see me on TV?'

'B.S.!, you're all in the same gang'

He ran me off the road, like he was Roscoe Pe-col-trane

I stayed calm, gave him a hell of a show

Cause if it's ever time to go, all I gotta press is turbo

Heard him on his walkie, road block on 280 West

Things got serious, that's when I bust a left

U-Turn, my tires burn, my concern, was the truck

comin head-on collision waited a second, changed position

Close one heh, I almost went up in a blaze

Running from what appeared to be a masquerade

You know the story, it's the same old math

In Brooklyn, police put a plunger up a man's ass!



[Pre-Chorus]

This is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

The Brooklyn Bridge will collapse son!

This is the type of kam that be getting No Airplay

Police brutality needs to stop!!!



[Hook]



I'm out!

Wyclef Jean, CNN...CNN...CNN! (Where Brooklyn at?! Where Brooklyn at?)

Can't forget Jersey though baby!

Police brutality is all around the whole world,

we really need to chill all of that out
