| Fugees | |
| The Score | |
| No Woman, No Cry | |
| [CLEF] | |
| A dedication to all the refugees worldwide | |
| One time say, say, say | |
| I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn. | |
| Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet. | |
| Good friends we had, | |
| Good friends we've lost along the way. | |
| In this great future you can't forget your past, So dry your tears | |
| I say And to my peeps who passed away, | |
| No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say say say. | |
| Hey little sister don't shed no tears | |
| No woman no cry say say say. | |
| I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey, | |
| And little Georgie would make the firelight, | |
| As stolen cars passed through the night | |
| And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew. | |
| My drink's my only remedy | |
| For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty, | |
| Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright, | |
| Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright, | |
| O everything's gonna be alright, | |
| The gun man's in the house tonight, | |
| But everything's gonna be alright. | |

| I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown. | |
| The hypocrites as they mingled with the good people we meet. | |
