We Trying To Stay Alive (feat. Refugee All Stars) - A Cappella

We got the Refugees Allstars rub-a-dubbin' in the club

Wyclef Jean, John Forte, Pras, well...

Know what I mean, the streets are gettin' a little crazy

Looka looka looka looka looka looka looka here

Look what shorty got back

Should I ask her for a dance?

Hold on, there's too many in the wolf pack

And besides, Dirty Cash talkin' to her

Buyin' her fake furs and takin' her to the Fever

Quiet as it's kept, that ain't even his Benz

She spends his Franklins, hit the malls with her friends

Material girl livin' in a material world

But it's alright, 'cause it's Saturday night

So Mr. Funkmaster, pump the Bee Gees

And all you college students playin' Ouijas

Check the spellin', R-E-F-U-G-E

E get the CD from Sam Goody, hee-hee

You ain't even close with the rhymes that you wrote

Don't be mad 'cause you broke, let me clear my throat

Ah-ha, ah-ha, John Forte

Grab the mic, won't you sway it this way?

I'm more than just a rhymer, you still a small-timer

Hopin' that the game treat that ass a little kinder

Every step tangoed, your beef don't concern me

I'm eatin' mangoes in Trinidad with attorneys

My crew slang flow worldwide like a current

Whip to every spot where nobody got insurance

Brother, do the math, you ain't half near exotic

My man's claim true, you—forget about it

Po-po just a nuisance, like my influence

Well-recognized, you a lot tryin' to do it

Got juice, told your lady, "Oops, we nuts, baby"

Smooth and charismatic, automatic, you gon' see me

God bless the dead as my son survive

We strive to teach the youth, baby, and stay alive

Refugee Camp, nuts baby

John Forte, yeah, watch your lady

Watch your lady, yeah

Aight

Especially around Dirty Cash

Yo, if you got more than a dollar in your pocket right now

Put your hands up

Well, you can tell by the way I roll, shorty

That I'm a ladies man, a business man

Condos down the shore, multi-million pension plan

But it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fam

I keep it intact, yo, 'Clef, do the track

John, play the map while I pay the tax

Business as usual, watchin' suspects

Steal my assets, get cut with Gillettes

We built this concept, connect like NYNEX

Drinks at the bar, my American Express

You are cook up, cook up, the copper pull up, pull up

Them a cuff up, cuff up you, who's callin' bluff?

Now you shook up, shook up, 'cause you lock up, lock up

When I love up, love up you, who's callin' bluff?

Ayo, John is chillin', Dirty Cash dealin'

What more can I say? We livin'

That's what we got, we got it good

And since you understood, we be...

Yeah, live at the carnival

'97 'Til infinity, ha

Refugee Allstars

Can't stop the shinin'

Can't stop the shinin'

You wanna stop the shinin'?

You wanna stop the shinin'?

Can't stop the shinin'

Can't stop the shinin', yo

You wanna stop the shinin'?

You wanna stop the shinin'?
