[Intro - Wyclef]:
Here come the drums
This is Wyclef
I`m a go to Senegal, pick up Youssou N`Dour
And this is what he told me when I picked him up
[Chorus - Youssou with Wyclef]:
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ? (Here come the drums)
(Thugs wanna disrespect me in the clubs, how come ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ? (Here come the drums)
(Shootouts over chickenheads, how come ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ? (Here we go)
[Verse 1 - Wyclef]
Yo! I won the lotto, check out the lingo
Me and my micro, more chips than bingo
You still eso eso, your cool got no ammo
I`m not a communist but I get guns from Castro
Whether in trio or rockin` solo
Give up my chain cause you thought I was dolo
Oh, oh! He about to be zero
Send `em back to Rio
Underground like Barbido
Played that kid out like Michael`s brother Tito
And lay low in Cuba with the lady speaking espano
So Cococabana who am I on my scanner
My grammar-slammer any crew`s who choose to do
So how come ?
[Chorus - Youssou with Wyclef]
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(How come I gotta wake up early to go to work ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(The boss is still paying me little money)
[Verse 2 - Wyclef]
For your girl, she`s buff puff
And daytime no play rough
Freaks come out at night
So that`s when I bring out the cuff
Grandma yeah, cd player no. 2
Sade`s in my bedroom singing sweetest taboo
Thugs lookin` at me saying `Clef don`t bite your lips
Freak the girl shit,
when was the last time you unloaded a click
Casinos and rockets
Sort of say hatchet
Just dressed as a waitress to get in your banquet
Can I take your order,
You keep me to the shade
Compliments to the chef
Fettucini and hand grenade
Your eyes are hard, fall to the floor
I hear weeping, I pick up your heart
Squeeze it while it`s still beating
How come ?
[Chorus - Youssou with Wyclef]
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(How come you`re not breathing now ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(How come we don`t chill out on the violance ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(I`m a gonna take you to Senegal for a second)
(In case you know nothing about it)
(Check the culture)
(Yo Youssou tell`em something man)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(I`m feeling you kid, I`m feeling you)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(How come the record company`s always stressing me ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(How come my grandmother`s still on welfare ?)
How come ? Ho-ow Ho-ow come ?
(How come whatever)
[Chorus fading out - Wyclef]
Yo `98 for the heavy weight
Wyclef Jean and Youssou N`Dour
You know what I mean?
Now I`m going back to some America type o` shit
And I`m out
