Haitian Experience - Wyclef Jean Yeah now I'm a rockstar
It started with my imagination Used to gaze at the twins before the birds hit 'em Daydream about the God my axe my Excalibur A man who just saw the future beyond the dishwater
Yeah cab driver used to gyspy cab rider But she stuck with me when I had nothing So I had to wife her And I used write these thoughts on a black and White notebook Haitian experience now I'm a page in a book I'm a Haitian Haitian
When I landed in America 'Merica
I got myself a green card green card Mamma say if I ever break the law They gone send me back home This is my Haitian experience
First stop out in England England
Immigration send me back to Washington Washington
Said I need a visa if I wanted to be In the United Kingdom
I pray that the Queen of Buckingham is listening Your Highness I got a palace out In Port Au Prince I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land But I can't go back and see my people In the ticks
I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card worked Seven jobs in America Then he came and got me from Haiti told me I had one chance To make it in America In the legal Valley and looking for work In Manhattan in America My papa was a Haitian Haitian
He got to America 'Merica On a six month visa visa When the visa expired he went underground
Like rats in the sewer
This is the Haitian experience
Running from the Immigration Interrogation
But his vision was his chosen How you gon' get us to New York Absolute lost and at sea and never see the airport
Yeah I pray that the President is up there listening Your Excellence I got a palace out in Port Au Prince I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land So we go move from detention we go we build the land
I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card Worked seven jobs in America Then he came and got me from Haiti Told me I had one chance To make it in America So I learned to play guitar with dreams Of becoming a rock star In America
I'm a Haitian I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card worked Seven jobs in America Then he came and got me from Haiti told me I had one chance To make it in America
In the legal Valley and looking for work In Manhattan in America
What we gone do right now is we gone go back
Way back
To what I call Lassie
The roots the Haitian experience Let's go
Look in her eyes she will survive
She smiles like she's in love
She's 21 she lost her feeding arms But she aingt lose her soul dancing outta control
Like Angelina Ballerina
Like Angelina Ballerina
Like Angelina Ballerina Na na na na na na na na
Yes I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card Worked seven jobs in America Then he came and got me from Haiti told me I had one chance To make it in America
In the legal Valley and looking for work In Manhattan in America
Man I just got on a plane leaving Haiti
And I landed in Brooklyn New York City Cooney Island
Marlboro Projects man in projects It's so rough to blend in
I learned to how to rock sing dance pop Loc whatever it took
Yeah that's my dad a Haitian living in America
