Wyclef Jean – Bicentennial lyrics

(feat. Sweet mickey)

[wyclef jean: spoken]
Welcome to my country

[Verse 1: wyclef jean]
Man,
When its cold in new york (uh)
I jump on my g4 (yeah)
I head out to haiti (yeah)
Go chill in the caribbean
Sippin' refugee rum (yeah)
Under the coconut tree (yeah)
We gonna bounce the world with a new dance from the refugee

[wyclef jean: spoken]
123
Lets go

[chorus: wyclef jean]
Every body do the kompa
(all the ways)
Every body do the kompa
(keep your hips in place)
Every body do the kompa
(2 steps get closa)
Every body do the kompa
(wind your body like you know her)
I see y'all do the macarena
I see you dance to the salsa
I see you move it to the cha cha (slide)
Every body do the kompa

[Hook]

People jumping up and play us
We can't wait to dance
That's when they take on the real lance

[Wyclef Jean]
So leave your guns and knives at home
Refugees on the right peform

Every body do the kompa

Every body do the kompa

I see y'all do the macarena
I see you dance to the salsa
I see you move it to the cha cha (slide)
Every body do the kompa

Milky walked into the dance hall 2night

[Verse 3]
I'm the haitian princess
With the peoples band
Every time the djs play us
People jump around and pay us
After call them shades
Now put your hands up on my waist
No need to come to the altahome
And wash your sins and I'm on the phone

[bridge 2: wyclef jean]
We've been kicked, we've been stabbed, we've been shot
Lord we've been abbused
Lord knows

[Together]
Everytime they throwus down
We stand up and hold our ground
Get it right
Get it right
Get salsa, sumba
What if I told you it came from kompa
