Tryin' to stay alive

Tryin' to stay alive Lyrics

Intro


[Wyclef Jean]

We got the ReFugees All Stars rub-a-dubbin in the club

Wyclef Jean... John Forte... Prazwell

Knahmean the streets are gettin a little crazy

Verse 1


Looka looka looka looka looka looka looka

Looka here look at shorty got back, should I ask her

for a dance, hold on, there's too many in the wolf pack

And besides, Dirty Cash talkin to her

Buyin her fake furs and takin her to the Fever

Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz

She spends his Franklins at the malls with her friends

Material girl, livin in a material world

But it's alright, cause it's Saturday night

So mista funkmaster pump the BeeGees

And all you college students playin ouijas

check the spellin, R-E, F-U-G-E

E get the CD from Sam Goody he he

You ain't even close wit the rhymes that you wrote

Don't be mad cause you broke

Let me clear my throat, ah huh ah huh, John Forte

Grab the mic and won't you sway it this way

Verse 2


[John Forte]

I more than just a rhymer you still a small timer

Hopin that the game treat that ass a little kinder

Every step tangoed, your beef don't concern me

I'm eatin mangos in Trinadad wit attorneys (oh yeah)

My crew slang flow worldwide like a current

Went to every spot, where nobody got insurance

Brother do the math, you ain't half near exotic

My man's claim true, you, forget about it

Po-Po just a nuisance, like my influence

Well recognized you a lie tryin to do it

Got juice told your lady, oops, we nuts baby

Smooth and charismatic automatic you gon save me (Forte)

God bless the dead as my son survive

We strive to teach the youth baby, and stay alive

Verse 3


[Wyclef Jean]

ReFugee camp, nuts baby

John Forte, yo watch your lady

(Watch your lady, hahh)

Aiiight

(Especially around Dirty Cash)

Yo, if you got more than a dollar in your pocket right now

Put your hands up

Verse 4


[Prazwell/Dirty Cash]

Yo yo

Well you can tell by the way I roll shorty

that I'm a ladies man, a business man

Condos down the shore, multimillion pension plan (uh-huh)

But it ain't in my plan, to make move without the fam (no way)

I keep it intact, yo Clef, do the track

John, play the mack while I, pay the tax

Business as Usual, watchin Suspects

Steal my assets, get cut with Gi-lettes

We built this concept, connect like Nynex

Drinks at the bar, my American Express

Verse 5


[Wyclef Jean]

You a cook up, cook up, the copper pull up, pull up

Dem a cuff up, cuff up, you, who's callin bluff?

Now you shook up, shook up, cause you lock up, lock up

Man I love up, love up, you, who's callin bluff?

Hey yo Jean is chillin, Dirty Cash dealin

What more can I say? We livin

That's what we got, we got it good

And since you understood, we be...

Outro


[Prazwell (Dirty Cash)]

Yeah, live at the Carnival

ReFugee All Stars

Can't stop the shining, cant stop the shining (2X)

You wanna stop the shining, you wanna stop the shining (2X)

Can't stop the shining, cant stop the shining...
