Letra
[Intro]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
[Verse 1]
Yo (Ah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (Now, huh-huh, ha, L-Boogie up in here)
Pra'zrel, (Pra'zrel up in here, ha, ha)
Lil' Base sitting up there on the bass (Refugees up in here)
While I'm on this Rhodes I got my girl L (Yeah, ah, ah, ah)
One time, one time (One time, one time)
Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics (Do, do, do)
[Verse 3]
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
And listen for a while
And there he was
This young boy, stranger to my eyes
[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (Two times, two times)
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
[Verse 4]
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
Then read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (Two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
[Bridge]
Yo, L-Boogie, take me to the bridge (L-Boogie, bust it)
[Bridge]
Woah
Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh
La-la-la, la, la, la
Woah, la
Woah, la (La, ha, ha, ha, ha)
La
[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (Yes, he was singing)
Singing my life with his words (My life)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song (Yeah)
Telling my whole life with his words (Whole life with his words)
Killing me softly with his song
[Chorus]
Strumming my pain, yeah (Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie from the Refugee Camp)
[Verse 5]
Refugees up in here, L-Boogie up in here (Ha, you know how we do)
Said L-Boogie up in here, Wyclef up in here (Wyclef, Pra'zrel)
Pra'zrel up in here (My man Little Base, ha)
T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here (Jerry one time, ah)
Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up in here (This is how we, a, ha, ha)
[Outro]
We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's up in here, we got Val' up in here (Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp)
[Outro]
Everybody got a breaking point, kid, and they'll rat on you
The family ****'ll rat on you
That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need to (Man, motherfucker, I told you I was gonna get you next)
