From a Nashua Street cell, I walked 'round front to the Garden
Snuck in to see 33 the last time I saw him
I met a gal at McGann's who knew me way back when
She asked me, "How you doing?" (And she asked him where he'd been)
She said, "We thought we'd never see you back, thought you'd never have the nerve
To show your face around these parts" (You're gonna get what you deserve)
In that cold and lonely cell, in that dark and dingy hole
I took a look deep down inside my evil, rotten soul
(One, two, three, four)
If someone did to me (If someone did to me)
If someone did to me (If someone did to me)
If someone did to me what I let me do to me
I'd sooner, I'd sooner kill 'em first
Then one day, a fella came, he said, "I'm here to spread the world"
I said, "The word of what?" (How 'bout you shut that big ol' mouth of yours?)
He was in the business of saving helpless, hopeless, broken souls
Help was sent from high above, you're the vehicle he chose
See, this guy was a gentleman, his knowledge oh-so vast
(He don't stay where he's not welcome, he don't go where he's not asked)
He don't beg for mercy, don't say no, he don't refuse
He comes to help the hopeless and I think it's time you choose
He don't beg for mercy, don't say no, he don't refuse
And there's one more thing that he don't do
Yeah, he don't lose (One, two, three four)
If someone did to me (If someone did to me)
If someone did to me (If someone did to me)
If someone did to me what I let me do to me
I'd sooner, I'd sooner kill 'em first
This guy was a gentleman, his knowledge oh-so vast
He don't stay where he's not welcome, he don't go where he's not asked
He don't beg for mercy, don't say no, he don't refuse
He comes to help the hopeless and I think it's time you choose
He don't beg for mercy, don't say no, he don't refuse
And there's one more thing that he don't do
Yeah, he don't lose (One, two, three four)
If someone did to me (If someone did to me)
If someone did to me (If someone did to me)
If someone did to me what I let me do to me
I'd sooner, I'd sooner kill 'em first
I'd sooner, I'd sooner kill 'em first

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
