I Wish It Was Music

[Hook 1: Wyclef]

Whoa, wish this was a Metallica concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

Whoa, wish this was man a rolling stone concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

[Verse 1: T.I.]

Problem officer? What were you looking for

Man I ain't done shit, what the fuck you looking for?

Guess it cause I rap, what has a rapper done to you, I ask?

Smoke some weed, show his ass when he sag

Man everybody that look like me

Ain't the one you should harass and ask for id

You would never see Trayvon Martin in a hoodie in Connecticut

Shooting the kindergarten

Is it me, or can anyone see, our only history

While the massacre was linked to you

The prison sentence was linked to me

Second amendment was stripped from me

All because you scared of what

I go and see an urban movie, shoot the movie theater up

Man that fucked up, cause I’m a good dude

And when I had tools, I knew when to use em

Usually the likes of you sit high and glow in the likes of me

My music ain't the problem shawty, not as far as I can see

[Hook 2: Wyclef]

Whoa, wish this was man a summer jam concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

Whoa, wish this was a Coachella concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

[Verse 2: Trae the Truth]

Look, shit real, but I’m riding

Too late for slowing this pace down

Lately life has been so cold

Gotta keep that '5 on my waist line

Even though I don’t want to, I got to

Look at what they did to the babies

I couldn't imagine that feeling

The way feeling with something so crazy

That’s that shit that make you sick

Lose all hope and make you quit

Trying to piece this puzzle but shit don’t fit

So many things I just don’t get

They say in life it ain't nothing that’s promise

We in the living hell, I just had to be honest

The pain sounding like metal, the color of Ebonics

When it play, everything in the path of it demolish

Everyday the same stage, but a different show

It’s hard to focus everyday but on a different row, damn

[Hook 3: Wyclef]

Whoa, wish this was man a bonoroo concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

Whoa, wish this was a Metallica concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

[Verse 4: Wyclef]

Last days, revelations front page, 666 out in Boston

Its the Beasts rage

I send a message to the pagans with the ravens

The numbers to decode, the secrets locked up in the Vatican

I guess that's why my papa named me Wyclef Jean

I was named after the reformer tato that was protestant

And ever since then, daddy built churches in the hood

But it’s hard to see my cousins in a box made out of wood

Statistically they said that I’d be dead by 23

I guess they didn't read the good book and see the prophecy

The youngings said it’s too deep, I’m trying to move these rocks

X ray came back on his mom’s breasts, they found lumps

But he gotta hustle, his mama only man

He got 3 sisters, papa in the can

Desperate times, desperate measures

He pulled a 2 shooter, tell the clerk I want everything in the register

[Hook 5: Wyclef]

Whoa, wish this was at a Timbaland concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll

Whoa, wish this was a Metallica concert

I wish that it was music when they walk in the building

Someone ring the alarm, we sound like rock and roll

We sound like rock and roll
