Wyclef Jean - Knockin' On Heaven's Door
I remember playin my guitar in the projects
Playin in the PJ's
A product of the environment
Pour some liquor for those who passed away
I told my mom I'ma get up out of da hood
Mama
My dad taught me the American dream, baby
You can be anything that you wanna be
If I did it y'all could do it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mama, take these guns away from here
Mama, I can't shoot them anymore
Cease fire I feel a dark cloud coming over
So poor, so dark It feels
like I'm knockin on the heaven's door
To Biggie Smalls and Tupac
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
Hip-Hop To Freaky Tah and Big Heavy, Lost boy
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
And to the Princess Aaliyah
We're knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
To my brother Big Pun Terror Squad
knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Would someone take these guns away from here
Take these guns from the street, Lord
I can't shoot my brothers anymore
I seen a thug cry
I feel a dark cloud coming over me
Over me It feels like
It feels like I'm knockin on the heaven's door
So sing along street children
We're knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
And to my daddy that passed away Rest in peace
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
To the God, Fred Jordan, we're
And put the Fugees on
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
To my people doin time We're Locked up
Knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
Crypts and Bloods, Latin peace
Please just chill wit the violence
Though even though I know
that the bad boy move in silence
I'm asking y'all please chill wit the violence
Said even though I know
that the gangsters move in silence
Whoa
We're knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
To my people in the Twin Tower
knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
And to my soldiers in the Pentagon
knock, knock, knockin on the heaven's door
New York
Mama To my people in the streets
I'm talkin to you now
Please put down your heat
Oh Lord
To my brothers that's on the corner
Oh God
Ay get out quick or you too
will be knockin on heaven's door
