Masquerade Lyrics by Wyclef Jean

Masquerade Lyrics

    The streets is mad right now
    Tell em why we mad
    Rappers whatever you call yourself
    Pack ya bags and get out of town
    Cause I'ma strike down on thee wit great vengence and furious anger
    Those who attempt to poison da hood
    I'ma let y'all know da preacher's son is back
    Uh, Refugee, one time, one time
    Uh, M.O.P., two time, two time, one time
    Bumpy knuckles now the world is in trouble
    Come on

    Yo, you're number one on the charts
    You're a masquerade
    Paid for your billboard slots
    You're a masquerade
    Because the block knows hot
    You're a masquerade
    You're livin in a uh
    You're livin in a masquerade

    I'm on first
    So, this ain't a rap verse
    It's more like a voodoo curse
    So when you die the kids'll throw rocks at ya hearse
    Cause you lie too much
    You don't got no gat
    At your arm reach is ink
    At your headpiece now you pissin in your briefs
    Hold up
    We just saw you on your BET and MTV, a public access channel
    Talkin bout I'ma thug
    You're an animal, a canibal, you even scare hannibal
    But when the blackout came no light for your candle
    So welcome to the real world where a spade is a spade
    And I'ma call it like I see it
    Ay, y'all living in a masquerade
    Even though Jacob iced you out wit the baguettes
    Money wit no respect ¨C that makes you a suspect
    So you can't ride through Brownsville
    You want peace you better call Churchill
    If not, feel Clef when he connects wit M.O.P. family and plays guitar at your eulogy

    You wanna claim you run da block
    You're a masquerade
    Givin information to the cops
    You're a masquerade
    I mean you never seen a rock
    You're livin in a uh
    You're livin in a masquerade
    Masquerade

    Now the grimy lil bastards line up
    Time's up
    I'm up
    They say we dem dans to show you how to get it crunk
    I'm still plottin wit Fox
    Today
    I do it wit Clef
    Whoever
    We throw mack and that's to the death bless royalty
    You youngstas better get back before you get a set back and get clapped
    That's it and that's that
    Clef

    Hold that
    Take all dat and fall back
    I kick too much ass
    Kick ass
    To rock jewels, rock Prada
    F-ck Gucci shoes, Timbs mo hotta
    We still grip arms Brook norm bound sh-t
    The streets don't want that watered down sh-t
    Fam, we clear the whole stage
    You don't wannaa ride wit us
    We got road rage

    Now I'ma let my hood tell you
    You're a masquerade
    I bet you feedin the dogs
    You're a masquerade
    I thought we still and we rob
    You're a masquerade
    You're livin in a uh
    You're livin in a masquerade

    I'm hittin sixteen bars
    A murder, real murder, baby
    This ain't a façade
    N¡ªgas pumpin they fist like they punchin at gods
    Over ten years rippin MC
    I bring it hard
    Don't make me split yo chest and pull yo card
    R&B singer the greatest and now barred
    Cause he been feelin on booties of too young cuties
    Got mo bombs left
    You punk n¡ªgas, we used to shake your pumpy hands
    You'll have no arms left
    You ain't a pimp
    You ain't a mack
    You keep b¡ªches in the house all day
    I keep em on the track
    Drinkin cocoa and wearin long mink coats black
    Hit em twelve-inch stilettos
    Tappin through the ghetto
    I can see it in your eyes
    Little n¡ªgas you ain't a part of shakin n¡ªgas hand, shakin n¡ªgas heart
    I keep the underground in shape
    It never be soft
    You wanna make it like them fat naked b¡ªches turnin me off

    Now I'ma let my hood tell you
    You're a masquerade
    I bet you feedin the dogs
    You're a masquerade
    I thought we still and we rob
    You're a masquerade
    You're livin in a uh
    You're livin in a masquerade

    Neary Paneary won't you take em to the Middle East
