Intro: lauryn hill

Yo, this is the fugees
Refugees
About to take you on a journey
Into the dimensions of the booka basement
The basement, word
Uhh

Hey yo, one two three! the crew is called re-fu-ge-ee-es
An if yu come fa tes the rap stylee
Stop the violence and just bring it on, willld

Verse one: lauryn hill

Hey yo i, feel kind of melancholy people think they really know me
I keep a wrap about me while i'm driving daddy's audi
I pay the toll fighting for my own soul
Cause the bourgeoise type of mental sucks like a flat comb
But i be baitin the rebel base to bass distort the eq
The devil's wishin they could send me back to mogadishu
Cause i've been wild since i was a juvenile
Afro-centric profile, back when righteous rap was your style
Now kids are whylin so i ask the bad black
Boogie bandit, what's the damage, gimme the estimate then
Pray tell me when's the revolution will begin?
I turn on my tv i check out farrakhan on cnn see
I'm like the phantom that's flying like the bird do
And things you never heard plus i come from the suburbs
Word to god, i heard you're acting kind of hard
And you got your skin scarred when they was shootin on the boulevard

[lauryn hill]

(you got the vocab) i got the vocab
(on the real got the vocab) you know we got the vocab
(all my peeps got the vocab) yeah, we got the vocab
[lauryn] aiyyo praz, grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab

Verse two: prazwell

Then cast off from here to mexico
You see my four-five-six a-be my celo
And when i rest my head is on a pillow
Be-ba-dee-be, be-dee-be, be-dee-be-bo
You see the skills i manifest is very tho-rough
And if you don't believe me ask freres ja-cques
Mmmm, freres jacques, freres jacques
A dorme vous? a dorme vous?
Watch out now! when i choose to speak
I'm forming the cipher fly east to the five percenter
Knowledge is born, to all beginners
Cast the first stone, if you feel you ain't a sinner, ahh
Say o-ur father, who art in heaven
Forgive the foolish rapper for he not know how fugee be steppin
Correct and, stopped and kept in, nuff respect to the
Dj, that be selectin, the type of record ahhh

[prazwell]

[lauryn] aiyyo clef grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab

Verse three: wyclef

Check it out, here we go
Back in eighty-tree, no one wanted to be nappy
I turn on my tv, it's a dreadlock for free
Kill the gimmick
It's nonsense, it's no sense or value
A rapper, disaster, nobody ever told me that
"roxanne, you don't got to work for money no more!!"... and...
Back in the days i used to listen to kool g rap
Way back when before guns became gats and
Run-d.m.c. used to ask mary was she buggin?
I loved p.e., they kept me concious of what i was saying
Afrika bambaata, poor righteous teacher
Got within myself so it made me a five percenter
Say la-di-da-di, uhh! we like to party but
My jam was bdp, with my philosophy
Say grandmaster flash, mc melle mel
Then ll cool j came with rock the bells!
See i'm the one for the crew, like a jew is a jew
Like apollo got the moon, like the men who got the blue
Like the fu got the manchu, chaka got the zulu
Hawaii got the honolulu
I got the rap lieu, so skippedy-de-bop-bop you don't stop
You do the rock-rock from hip-hop through be-bop
From be-bop to bee-bee

[lauryn hill]

(you got the vocab) i got the vocab
(boogie down got the vocab) you know they got the vocab
(black people got the vocab) word, we got the vocab

Biografia

The Fugees were a reggae and soul influenced hip-hop group that rose to prominence in the mid-90s when their second album, The Score, became a worldwide hit. Comprising Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel, they formed in New Jersey in 1994 and released debut album Blunted On Reality that same year. It didn't go down very well with critics or the public, with only "Nappy Heads" being a very minor hit single.
