WYCLEF JEAN lyrics : "The PJ's"

Mmmmmmmmm... yeah

[Wyclef]

(PJ's!) I was born in the PJ's
So I gotta rep for the PJ's
The elevators with the pissy hallways

Bangin on the project walls, all day

[Verse 1]

Yo if it wasn't for the PJ's y'all probably never heard of me
Y'all be like, "Who the hell is Wyclef, and what's a Fugee?"
I'd probably be standin on a corner - watch you approach

Steal ya dope, sell ya !@%!e, then snatch ya rope
Run for brokes with the cash and the jewels
Bows-eye, I hold my breath when I shoot

The reason you should hold ya breath; cuz most thugs
when they breathe and shoot tecs, they aim right but shoot
left

Now they flesh being swept off the surface
If you ain't B.I.G., you ain't Notorious
So why ya man reckless, side-ballin like he holdin heat

Someone bring him a bed, for the permanent sleep
Weight beneath Jacob's Latter and the Aftermath
Don't matter if you use a desert eagle as your armor

Blood splatter, glass shatter through the project slums
Another one in the obituary column son


[Chorus]
(PJ's!) I was born in the PJ's
So I gotta rep for the PJ's

The elevators with the pissy hallways
Bangin on the project walls, all day
(PJ's) I gotta make noise for the PJ's

Wrote my first rhyme in the PJ's
You can hear it in my speech, I'm from the PJ's
The PJ's! PJ's


[Verse 2]
Before I was signed, I used to move on the block

All I wanted to do was rhyme, rhyme, rhyme
Line for line, I make the blind man walk in a straight line
to prison - and take a message to Shyne

Peace God from the PJ's to Ground Zero
It's a "Hardknock Life" but "The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow"
Walk with a shadow through ghettos, playin in every borough

You would think rap was rock they way I carry heavy metal
It such a shame, cocaine in ya veins, screamin
"Team Spirit" grippin the shottie like Kurt Cobaine

In the projects God, nuttin come easy
Gotta deal with the grimy, greasy, the sleasy
Move like a professional, young thug funeral

Wattchu thought this was another Pepsi commercial?
Nah it's the art of war, when you least expected it
Wyclef the president, the PJ's elected him


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]
Yeah, and to the teachers that said I wouldn't live
and my remains would be found under the Verizano Bridge

Well I'm alive teach! So put ya theory to rest
I ain't Makaveli but I might fake my death
Make no mistake, I'm a hip-hop artist

Before the diamond in the Billboard, the hood charted it
Surburbia bought it, we bootlegged it, we couldn't afford it
Cuz in the PJ's we undergroudn like black markets

The 'P' stand for public housing
The 'R's for respect that ya get, when ya hold down ya set
The 'O's for ounces that we flip into ki's

The 'J's for the judgement handed by the ju-ry
The 'E' is for enter, at your own risk
You know the 'C' - that's for the cats that's out to get rich

And the 'T'... trust no one
And the 'S' is for the snitchers - you know the outcome...


[Chorus]
