Hello? Hello?
Yo, Wyclef, what's going on?
Louie Rankin, man
A.K.A. Teddy Bruckshot who give Richie F the order
To murder the bloodclaat informer
Dungles car informer for dead
Anyway, what's going on, rude boy?
I call that great acting, Hollywood need me
But, still, what's going on now, Wyclef?
I need a ticket to the carnival when you come to T Dot
And you must always tell them say, nobody no ramp with you
'Cause the original Jamaican don dada got your back
Them want war? I still bring it!
Every time they see me, man
They ask me two questions
Wyclef Jean, when's the next Fugee album?
When is Shottas Part 2?
I tell 'em
Shotta boys, I see them talking at the bar
Get your drink and speed, more like a foreign car
Kevin Costner wanna play your bodyguard
Gotta guard your body, could get bodied hard
Seen the movie Shottas, I play Richie X
It ain't hard to do, I know who Richie is
Richie Rich boys, they don't give a F
You don't wanna flex, nah, you don't wanna flex
Boy, you don't wanna flex, nah, you don't wanna flex
Keep your muscle in your shirt, boy, you don't wanna flex, nah
You don't wanna flex, nah, you don't wanna flex
Keep your muscle in your shirt, boy, you don't wanna flex (Ayy)
Don't make me do it, I'ma plead self-defense
And tell the judge you made me do it (Ayy)
Don't make me do it, I'ma plead self-
Defense and tell the judge you made me do it
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Please, don't make me do it
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Yeah
Compare me to my whip 'cause if you push, I start
No Whitney Houston here, don't need no bodyguard
That poker face don't help, don't make me pull your card
Might end up in that river, now your body hard
It's Watts up in my veins, so here's a shocking fact
Ain't never bang, but I know forty Haitian gats
Keep flexing all you want, them zoes, they got my back
I'm 'bout this paper, sticks up out these hundred stacks
Never broke, thumbing through a billy paper 'cause it more
Never show, come correct, don't play me like a poppy show
I'm in the zone, tell me how much for the zone
Give me a deal and we on, there go my phone (Brrr)
Shottas sequel coming home (Blaow)
Got my business mind like Big Meech
Want the south to love me like I'm Pimp C
Ayy, 'Clef, he called me off the bench, man
So now I bring the bars like Jimmy Henchman, ooh
Shotta boys, I see them talking at the bar
Get your drink and speed, more like a foreign car
Kevin Costner wanna play your bodyguard
Gotta guard your body, could get bodied hard
Seen the movie Shottas, I play Richie X
It ain't hard to do, I know who Richie is
Richie Rich boys, they don't give a F
You don't wanna flex, nah, you don't wanna flex
Boy, you don't wanna flex, nah, you don't wanna flex
Keep your muscle in your shirt, boy, you don't wanna flex, nah
You don't wanna flex, nah, you don't wanna flex
Keep your muscle in your shirt, boy, you don't wanna flex (Ayy)
Shotta boys, I see them talking at the bar
