The return of the Hip-Hop Amadeus
Wyclef, Toussaint St. Jean, Drama
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
I tell 'em I'm alive
The rumor says I'm dead
The resurrection never dead
I could never dead
And if I ever die
All I do is rise, rise
The streets pronounced me dead
Putting two holes in my head
At the funeral, I had more fans than the Grateful Dead
Haters started talking, saying I went left
Akon took my spot, will.i.am took my vest
Started beating on the coffin, 'cause I could hear the crowd
But they can't hear me 'cause Lil Jon's preaching too loud
That's when the bishop said, "Last words from friends and family"
Then a fan stood up and said, "Y'all forgot the Fugees
50 Million records sold straight from the basement
How y'all gon' tell me Wyclef is irrelevant?"
Then a rapper stood up, said, "Yep, I got amnesia
Last time I remember him was 'Gone 'Til November'"
He said, "I don't spit no more, all I do is sing songs
Last time he felt me was when I rhymed with Big Pun"
That's aight, get that hate off your chest
You a rap con-artist, not a Kanye West, I ain't dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
I tell 'em I'm alive
The rumor says I'm dead
The resurrection never dead
I could never dead
And if I ever die
All I do is rise, rise
I mean, the streets say it's been a while since they heard me spit
Said I spit so hard, my ghostwriter must be Canibus
But far from it, this is how I started
But my battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket
So I found another target to aim at
I went from food stamps to the black AMAX
8-Track cassettes to CDs to iPods
BMX bikes to hoopties to hot rods
And my swag come from Nazareth
How you gon' say I'm dead when I rose like Lazarus?
And this ain't mystic, I ain't talking voodoo
But we do carry spears like the Zulus
So watch your mouth, boy, I ain't dead
Or the city gon' turn red, blood gon' shed
So before you speak, boy, watch your tone
Or my chrome gon' turn you to a statue of stone, I ain't dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
I tell 'em I'm alive
The rumor says I'm dead
The resurrection never dead
I could never dead
And if I ever die
All I do is rise, rise
They all got shocked when I rose from the coffin
Dust myself off then headed out to New Jerusalem
Destroyed and rebuilt, my voice sound like Silk
Audio 2 like Milk, I used to shoplift with no guilt
In Christmas time, toy guns the size of elves
I seen the rat-tat-tat-tat turn into the real shells
Yup, killer, you pressed your luck
Went to sleep in the pond, woke up with the ducks
And this ain't gangsta talk, I don't talk to talk
I suggest you walk or get outlined in chalk
And you ain't from the street, but yet you walk the streets
You a C-O-P, a cop walking the beat
But the rule on the streets, they could turn on you
Like a pitbull after giving him food
Or the girl that you bought all the cars and the jewels
Only to find her on Memorial Day fucking
In the swimming pool, I ain't dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
The streets pronounced me dead
I tell 'em I'm alive
The rumor says I'm dead
The resurrection never dead
I could never dead
And if I ever die
All I do is rise, rise
Yeah, Warriors Music
Drama, from the hood to the project
To the mansion
So y'all know y'all ain't got no excuses
I'm alive
Wyclef, AKA Toussaint St. Jean
