Wyclef Jean - Kick Knowledge lyrics

(Intro)

I’mma aks the new generation a question

Showin hands, how many yall wanna be the young and down?

How many yall wanna be the Kick Knowledge?

Show your hands, show you hands

(Hook)

Listen, Kick Knowledge, young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

(Verse)

Kick Knowledge, man the college

I ain’t stayed long, I went from the hood to a cottage

Pursued my dreams, started making beats

Ready or not, here I come, I’m with them Refugees

Young and down, I‘m in the club

Gold chain, gold ring, the girlie luv them thugs

We poppin mollies, this is how we do

Middle finger at them haters, who the fuck are you?

Kick Knowledge, Haitian born

I’m the American Dream underground like Hariette Tubman

When beef sparks, my dogs bark

We play the front at the bus, Rose pops

(Hook)

Kick Knowledge, young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

(Verse)

Young and down, I got 50 bitches

I keep them hoes in the block, see them bitches trickin

And I don’t give a fuck what the bitches try to be

At the end of the night you better have my monthly

Kick Knowledge, I’m like Malcolm X

By any means necessary, man I keep a tab

Man I ran for president all them def beats

Got me paranoid, who they gonna shoot next?

(Bridge)

Shit I Kick Knowledge

Shit I Kick Knowledge

Shit I Kick Knowledge

Young and down

(Verse)

Young and down, man I’m so icy

So flashy, print our own money

With my face on it, Abraham Lincoln

Young and down, Sarah Palin

Kick Knowledge, I see you rap children

Before you buy the car, yall need to buy the building

‘Cause time gon come you gonna make that cake

And you gotta fall back on that realestate

Young and down, see my gold fronts

I’m throwin bands, I sign my dum

She poppin poppin poppin pussy

All the way back to the hotel

Yall know my slogan – everything fo sale

(Hook)

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

(Verse)

Young and down, I’m selling coke

I’m selling smoke, I’m selling dope

On the block you know fiends come by the dozen

You know we sell our yay from the night to the morning

Kick Knowledge, Martin Luther King

He barely slept, but he had a dream

I’m from Haiti so yall know I rep true celeboture

First black republic, 18-04

(Hook)

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down

Kick Knowledge, nah young and down
