He's a victim of his own time
in his "vintage suit" and tie

WHAT'S IN A NAME?... HEY!
She's a scented magazine
looking sharp and living clean
living well and dressed to kill

So when you're dancing through the wardrobe
do the anorexia go-go
cloaked with style
for pedophiles as your credit card explodes

A b c d f g si`ou vlé batay se danje
Mem si ou kon jwé foutbol dènié gòl lan sé pou pélé
Pa jouré manmam, manmam sé kréol
Fesi'm se bousòl
Kompa'm se lakol
Original ayisieeennnn kwa dè boukèèèè
Gen nèg ki pensé brooklyn'm fèt ayiti'm fèt kwa dè boukè kwa dè boukè

Prezidan mwen pa vlé prézidan ou
Wasé mikrofòn nan mwen sé gouvèman ou
Bon nom'm sé Wyclef yo rélé'm fanfan
Mwen gen on ti sè yo rélé roz s
