[Lena Waithe]
Yo, Wyclef, this is Lena Waithe
Hitting you
Telling you
That it's time bro
To take this shit back to the beginning
Man it seem like yesterday man
We just got booked at the house of blues in LA man
So excited man I wanna visit like Compton
???
East LA
They check big boy in the neighborhood
Sway to the beat check sway (seem like yesterday)
??? 1964 Chevy Impala
We on the west side
An Ice Cube saga
Cause everyday above ground is a good day
Cause I know homies that went under like MJ
From ??? to long beach got them palm trees
Papa was an immigrant like the father of Nipsey
I'm at the presidential overlooking seas
Watching as time flies the four seasons past me
A portrait of Toussaint to remind me that the life of a general ain't easy
Welcome to the block where my cousin keep a Remington
'Cause many many men wanna do him in like Curtis Jackson
Menace to society that's what we've become
Drinking E-40 listening to E-40 getting dumb
Tuck your Jesus piece 'cause it's Friday homie I know
I could see the lick 'cause every block got a Deebo
My lad out in Britain put me up on tears for fears
Told me Wyclef man we living in dog years
Life is a space in the middle between right and left
Two things we can't run from, death and the IRS
So where I come from, I used to eat dirt cakes
So water and corn flakes, in the projects
Taste like Wagyu steaks, Scarface I used to imitate
Curtis used to sell the blow, I guess these are the breaks
??? 1988 in a Maxima left New ???
And I'm heading down the Carolinas
Thug angels get stopped down in Florida
Judge hit the hammer, best friend turn informer
I'm haitian born, Louisiana schooled
I'm so Creole you gon' think I got a twin from the Bayou
Jean Baptiste Point du Sable
Why you think I'm so comfortable in Chicago
Follow my destiny, this child's on a quest
You was like no, no, no
I was like yes, yes, yes
Mr Top Shotta back yeah with Mr We The Best
I tell a joke after the call then informer [fi?] dead
5 heartbeats, I'm waiting on the song by the radio
Waiting for Flex to drop the bomb
Midlife crisis, mental on a stray
Used to take a mule to school, now it's donkey of the day
Me and Wonda kept a shotgun in the [booga base?]
Behind the crack house where the fiends look like ???
Akon before the Locked Up used to check the kid
Told me he gon' get a deal with Babyface yeah
I told the gang that the world's ours
Jumped on a concord and we made it out in Paris like in 3 hours
Fugees, Jay-Z and it's Nas
Dame Dash made a nigga go to Jacob just to change his watch
The only thing I ever took outa Haiti was culture
Put it on the world stage, like an Oscar
Dave Chapelle block party, if I was the president
This ain't a bar, I really tried to be the president
[Dave Chappelle]
Please welcome, the one, the only, Wyclef Jean
