Here come the drums
This Wyclef, I'ma go to Senegal, pick up Youssou N'Dour
And this what he told me when I picked him up
How come? (How come?)
How come? (Here come the drums)
How come?
Thugs wanna disrespect me in the clubs
How come? (How comes?)
How come? (How come?)
Here come the drums
Shootouts over chicken heads, how come?
Yo, I won the lotto, check out the lingo
Me and my micro more chips than bingo
You still S.O.S.O., your crew got no ammo
I'm not a communist but I get guns from Castro
Whether in trio or rocking solo
Give up my chain 'cause you thought I was dolo
Uh-oh, he about to be zero
Send him back to Rio underground like Bobbito
Play that kid out like Michael brother's Tito
Then lay low in Cuba with the ladies speaking espaรฑol
So c-c-cabana, who ana on my scanner
My grammar slammer any crews who choose to do
So how come? (How comes?)
How come? (How come?)
ย
How come I gotta wake up early to go to work?
How come? (How comes?)
How come? (How come?)
ย
And the boss is still paying me little money
For your girl, she's Puff Puff, at daytime, don't play rough
Freaks come out at night so that's when I bring out the cuff
Grand Marnier, CD player number two
Sade's in my bedroom singing "Sweetest Taboo"
Thugs looking at me saying, "Clef, don't bite your lip"
Freak the girl shit, when's the last time you unloaded a clip?
Casinos and rackets, sawed-offs and hatchets
I dress just like a waitress just to get into your banquet
Could I take your order? You peep me through the shades
Compliments to the chef, fettuccine and hand grenades
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? (How comes?)
How come? (How come?)
How come you're not breathing now?
How come? (Here come the drums)
Shouldn't have been taught me, kid
How come? (How come?)
How come? (How come?)
How come we don't chill out on the violence?
How come?
One time
Told y'all I'ma take y'all to Senegal for a second
Two times
Kids don't know nothing about it
Check the culture
Three times
Youssou N'Dour, you know what I mean?
Yo, Youssou, tell 'em something, man
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I'm feeling you, kid, I'm feeling you
How come? (How come?)
ย
How come?
There's always beef, how come?
How come? (How come?)
How come the record company's always stressing me?
How come? (How come?)
How come?
How come my grandmother's still on welfare?
How come? (How come?)
How come? (How come?)
Yeah, how come? Whatever
Yo, nine-eight for the heavyweight
Wyclef Jean and Youssou N'Dour, you know what I mean?
On some "Going Back to America" type shit
I'm out
How come?
How come?
How come?
How come? (How comes?)
How come? (How comes?)
How come? (How comes?)
