[00:05.55] We got the Refugee Allstars rub-a-dubbing in the club
[00:09.34] Wyclef Jean, John Forte, Praswell
[00:18.04] Nah mean, the streets are getting a little crazy.. Nah
[00:20.14] Looka looka looka looka looka
[00:22.03] Looka looka looka here looka shorty got back
[00:23.77] Should I ask her for a dance? Hold on -- there's too many in the wolf pack
[00:27.02] And besides, Dirty Cash talking to her
[00:29.42] Buying her fake furs and taking her to The Fever
[00:31.76] Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz
[00:33.95] She spends his Franklins at the malls with her friends
[00:36.74] Material girl, living in a material world
[00:38.98] But it's all right cause it's Saturday night
[00:41.17]
[00:43.66] And all you college students, play your Ouijas
[00:46.06]
[00:50.89] You ain't even close with the rhymes that you wrote
[00:53.38] Don't be mad cause you broke
[00:54.53]
[00:57.12] John Forte, grab the mic, let's sway this way
[01:00.86] I'm more than just a rhymer, you still a small timer
[01:02.85] Hoping that the game treat that ass a little kinder
[01:05.34] Every step tango'd
[01:06.34] Your beef don't concern me
[01:07.99] I'm eating mangoes in Trinidad with attorneys
[01:10.13] My crew's slang flow worldwide like a current
[01:12.47] With the every spot where nobody got insurance
[01:14.95] Brother, do the math -- you ain't half near exotic
[01:17.45] My man's claim true; you -- forget about it
[01:19.84] Po-po just a nuisance, like my influence
[01:22.23] Well, recognize you a lie trying do it
[01:24.68] Got juice—told your lady
[01:25.87] Oops! We Nutz Baby Oops
[01:27.12] Smooth and charismatic, automatic
[01:29.12] You gonna save me
[01:29.96] God bless the day that my sons survive
[01:31.86] We strive to teach the youth, baby, and stay alive
[01:48.27] Well, you can tell by the way I roll, shorty, that I'm a ladies man
[01:52.40] A business man
[01:53.74] Condos down the shore
[01:54.79] Multi-million pension plan
[01:56.03] But it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fam
[01:59.05] I keep it intact
[02:00.19] Yo 'Clef, do the track
[02:01.43] John, play the mack while I pay the tax
[02:03.78] Business as usual
[02:04.98] Watching suspects steal my assets
[02:06.42] Get cut with Gillettes
[02:08.66] We built this concept, connect like NYNEX
[02:11.15] Drinks at the bar, my American Express
[02:13.59] Yo I cook up cook up Yo
[02:14.59] The copper pull up pull up
[02:15.64] Then I cuff up cuff up
[02:16.78] You who's calling bluff
[02:18.28] Now you shook up shook up
[02:19.23] Cause you lock up lock up
[02:20.47] When I love up love up
[02:21.72] You who's calling bluff
[02:22.86] Hey yo, John is chilling Hey yo
[02:25.70] Dirty Cash dealing
[02:26.49] What more can I say, we living
[02:28.10] That's what we got, we got it good
[02:30.39] And since you understood
[02:32.33]
[02:34.83] Yeah
[02:37.21] Live at the Carnival
[02:42.35] 97 till infinity 97
[02:44.54] Ha
[02:45.53] Refugee all-stars
[02:48.93] Can't stop the shining, can't stop the shining
[02:52.52] Can't stop the shining, can't stop the shining
[02:57.00] You wanna stop the shining? You wanna stop the shining?
[03:01.94] You wanna stop the shining? You wanna stop the shining?
[03:06.43] Can't stop the shining, can't stop the shining
