We Trying to Stay Alive (feat. John Forté & Pras)

We got the Refugee Allstars rub-a-dubbing in the club

Wyclef Jean, John Forté, Praswell

Know what I mean, the streets are getting a little crazy

Looka-looka-looka- looka-looka-looka- looka here, looka, shorty got back

Should I ask her for a dance? Hold on, there's too many in the wolf pack

And besides, Dirty Cash talking to her

Buying her fake furs and taking her to The Fever

Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz

She spends his Franklins at the malls with her friends

Material girl living in a material world

But it's all right 'cause it's Saturday night

So Mr. Funkmaster, pump the Bee Gees

And all you college students, play your ouijas

Check the spelling, R-E-F-U-G-E-E

Get the CD from Sam Goody, hee-hee

You ain't even close with the rhymes that you wrote

Don't be mad 'cause you broke

Let me clear my throat, uh-huh, uh-huh

John Forté, grab the mic, let's sway this way

I'm more than just a rhymer, you still a small-timer

Hoping that the game treat that ass a little kinder

Every step tango'd, your beef don't concern me

I'm eating mangoes in Trinidad with attorneys (Oh, yeah)

My crew's slang flow worldwide like a current

Went to every spot where nobody got insurance

Brother, do the math, you ain't half near exotic

My mans claim true, you forget about it

Po-po just a nuisance like my influence

Well-recognized, you a lie trying to do it

Got juice, told your lady, "Oops, we nuts, baby"

Smooth and charismatic, automatic, you gon' save me

God bless the dead as my son survive

We strive to teach the youth, baby, and stay alive

Refugee camp next, baby

John Forté, yeah, watch your lady

Watch your lady, yeah (All right)

'Specially around baby Pras (Yo)

If you got more than a dollar in your pocket right now

Put your hands up (Yeah, yeah)

Well, you can tell by the way I roll, shorty, that I'm a ladies man

A business man

Condos down the shore, multi-million pension plan (Uh-huh)

But it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fam (No can do)

I keep it intact, yo, 'Clef, do the track ('Clef, do the track)

John, play the mack while I pay the tax (Yeah)

Business as usual

Watching suspects steal my assets, get cut with Gillettes

We built this concept, connect like NYNEX (All right)

Drinks at the bar, my American Express, come here y'all

Yo, I cook up, cook up

The copper pull up, pull up

Them I cuff up, cuff up

You who's calling bluff

Now, you shook up, shook up

'Cause you lock up, lock up

When I love up, love up

You who's calling bluff

Ayo, John is chilling, Dirty Cash dealing

What more can I say? We living

That's what we got, we got it good

And since you understood, we be

Yeah

Live at The Carnival

'97 till infinity, ha

Refugee Allstars

Can't stop the shining, can't stop the shining

Can't stop the shining, can't stop the shining

You wanna stop the shining? You wanna stop the shining?

You wanna stop the shining? You wanna stop the shining?

Can't stop the shining, can't stop the shining
