Gunpowder Lyrics

Wyclef Jean

[Incomprehensible] as we try to stay alive We bring you culture, nu tunes Gunpowder massive, [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible] drums, huh, where it all started, another level
I asked my mother, "Why do you cry?" She said, "Your brother, he just died" Well, I told him not to go outside He said he had to fight for his country's right
But don't you know that mo-mother Don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no Because the war is not over Until you can feel love, peace an' hear silence
But I smell gunpowder
My brother's been dead ever since I didn't believe it, but when I saw him I was convinced Two shots to the head, he was already dead, Lord I headed for revenge in the city of Port-au-Prince
Screamin', "Bro-brother" Don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no Because the war is not over Until you can feel love, peace an' hear silence
But I smell gunpowder Zion's gunpowder, L.A.'s gunpowder
I wanna know why Christians pray for a new day We don't need no, we don't need no, we don't need no But it's still the same way
I wanna know why Ghetto people pray for a new day Hey, hey, hey An' it's still the same way
But the preacher man told me "Good things come to those who wait" Do good things come to those who wait? I wanna know tell me
Good thing come to those who wait Do good things come to those who wait? We wanna know, we wanna know, we wanna know
Pe-people Don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no Because the war is not over Until you can feel love, peace, an' hear the silence
But I smell gunpowder Brooklyn's gunpowder, Shaolin's gunpowder Uptown's gunpowder, Jersey's gunpowder
Even in New Zealand's gunpowder Australia's gunpowder, Brixton's gunpowder Even in New Haven's gunpowder
The Carnival, anything can happen [Incomprehensible]Rest in peace, rest in peace
