How Come * Lyrics

How Come *

f/ Wyclef Jean



* differs from "Bulworth" soundtrack version - no raps by Canibus



[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
