80 Bars lyrics

Artist  : Wyclef Jean 
Song : 80 Bars



 Send "80 Bars" Ringtone to your Cell 

 80 Bars, 80 Scars

Yo, engineer, turn me up, yo



I started off in the underground

From mono to stereo now I'm surround sound

Blowin' through your tubes leavin' holes through
your speakers

Crackin' through your tweeters my frequency's off
the meters



Jam pack arenas from here to Bangkok

I'm ahead of my time like Jimmy Hendrix played
Woodstock

Me, I'm playin' Hoodstock before I had the
dreadlocks

I used to reminisce should I do music or sell
rocks



Grow my own crops livin' in the PJs

That's when an Angel Gabriel, said

"It's all a masquerade eyes wit no face, sneakers
wit no lace

I feel the earth spinnin' but I'm standin' in the
same space"



Wit no trace of what happened last night

I seen two fiends fightin' over a crack pipe

Now I'm watchin' TV, my antenna was a clothes
hanger

Blurry vision Mista Mondehan David Banner



Flip the data the kids are wearin' bandannas

Totin' hammers aimin' at your medulla
oblongata

Blow, blow a young thug wit a slim figure

Romantic type like the movie Casablanca



Herb seller once got busted by a undercover
buyer

My supplier was a Gypsie cab driver

That's when I realized I need to find a new
hustle

Livin' in the jungle the guitar became my
muscle



I scribe through snake eyes that wanted my
crucified

Y'all thought that I was drownin' but I was
getting baptized

Now behold I heard you sold twenty mill

But wit no street credibility you overkill



Y'all ain't real talkin' 'bout keep it gangsta

Only if you knew the gangsta sent me to shank
you

Gank you, gank you, tie up your ankles

And if that ain't enough I call hinchmens to
lynch you



Now at the funeral I could see the priest bless
you

But in the after life I'ma still touch you

Knockin' on Heaven's door you beggin' to get
in

That's when the Son of Man greets you wit the
face of Satan



Now you look frightened in the belly of the
whale

That's when the warden say I wanna welcome you to
hell

Bones is five bucks get off the phone, time's
up

I seen him cut from his head to his you wish you
would wish you could



Wishin' got you here you screamin' so loud that a
deaf man could hear

Back to the silence, no more droppin' science

Everybody rappin' 'bout diamonds and violence

And A&R's all they do is charge credit cards



And when the bill comes

They blame it on the rap stars

Now how you figure I ain't rent a car

I wasn't at the spa I ain't buy the bar



Now here's a Jew when you get your first record
deal

Don't subject yourself to the mass appeal

First class, caviar in the Anneville

In the new S class wit the Jordan wheels



Remember the music in the streets like the
streets

You know the code of the streets

Everybody tryin' to eat yhe evidence is
concrete

I'm tired of the same song you take me out

You must be high off of heroine



Sharper than I ever been this one gon' get a
ten

Rappers, I'ma murder y'all wit your own
medicine

I move with faith, I never have doubt

I'm so hungry you would think I'm just comin'
out



But I been here before from Blunted to The
Score

To the Carnival, Ecleftic, World Tour

I'm poison whores waitin' in the back door

They want me to rock they boat and shift them on
shore



That's when the Father said, "Take heed to this
lesson

They wanna cut your hair like Delilah did
Samson"

I felt that so I went back to my format

Raps in backpack gats for car jacks



Hats for pussy cats 'cause AIDS I don't want
that

And for the DJ's here's somethin' y'all can
scratch

Technique twelve the needle hits the wax

Hypnotize the crowd the dance floor's jam
packed



Now sing along like a Negro spiritual

No one got shot tonight it's a miracle

But what's this I hear y'all wanna take my
spot

You got a better chance puttin' a gorilla in a
headlock



I'm too focused I can see through your lens

You ain't a G, just a wannabe kingpin

So, the next time y'all wanna pay for
protection

I suggest that you hit up the Haitian Sicilian



80 Bars, 80 Scars

80 Bars, 80 Scars

80 Bars, 80 Scars

80 Bars
