Lyrics
Hey

This is strictly a Dancehall, Hip-Hop record
You heard it once in the O-P-P version
Now I got Beenie Man up in here

Zagga-zow, ziggy-zow, zagga-zow, anyhow

Yo, yo, yo-yo
My people in the dance ain't no need to bust your .38
Take it away Wyclef now
You don't wanna go there
It's the land that's pitch black (Yow!)
Dorothy clicked her heels three times
She ain't even come back
This museum, is called a mausoleum (Cho!)
Not even holy water could save you from these legions of demons
(Zagga-zow)
I'm on a pale horse, turned into a white Porsche (Yuh mad)
Change course, I leave you in the Land of the lost (Yow!)
The Land of prostitution hookers walk with a limp
I put emcees in the basement and Pulp fiction with the gimp (Cho!)
And hamp', ya little champ
Listen to the bass go bah-bam, bah-bam
Wyclef could never fail
As long as the faders is up
I'll keep on writin' these songs
And tell the haters, "Yeah" like Michael Jackson
(Sorry)
Love me now
Love me now
Or hate me more
Hate me more
But we still gon' lead
Beenie Man, Wyclef
And all weh a hate us
'Cause we gon' be
We gon' be
Forevermore
All my people in the Lord
Forevermore
'Cause we still gon' lead
Hey, skidi-daba-daba-dang-bang-dang-dang
