Younger Days - Wyclef Jean

Hip-hop Amadeus

Signed for this

Paid for this

Hey, hey, hey

Long after the fame

Long after the fortune

This what I come to realise

When Madison Square Garden no longer screams for me

When the record company don’t send no limos for me

And the young girls

They think that I’m too old

I know I’ll be okay when I think of the young days

The young days

With a mic and a guitar I used to wreck it on any stage

Any State

From the Hood to the suburb to you feeling me here

With the big neon lights whenever we came through

People pushing through like they don’t know what to do

Bouncers screaming «Hey, hey, hey»

Ain’t no pushing, to the back of the line

Don’t you know

Everybody’s bound to get in

Wait your turn

Ticket-holders are first on the line

But it made me feel special when

A hundred kids just rushed that door

Ignored what the bouncer said

Ran through the club screaming «Cleff»

You know it made me feel special when they said «DJ play this request»

All right

Thinking of my younger, rowdy days

All my people say

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Hey hey hey

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

When I look in the sky that’s the only stars I see

I go through Brooklyn with no security

And on the Billboards I’m no longer number one

I know I’ll be okay when I think of the young days

The young days

With a mic and a guitar I used to wreck it on any stage

Any state

From the Hood to the suburb to you feeling me here

With the big neon lights whenever we came through

People pushing through like they don’t know what to do

Bouncers screaming «Hey, hey, hey»

Ain’t no pushing, to the back of the line

Don’t you know

Everybody’s bound to get in

Wait your turn

Ticket-holders are first on the line

But it made me feel special when

A hundred kids just rushed that door

Ignored what the bouncer said

Ran through the club screaming «Cleff»

You know it made me feel special when they said «DJ play this request»

All right

Thinking of my younger, rowdy days

All my people say

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Hey hey hey

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

I know I’ll be okay when I think of the young days

The young days

Turntables and a mic I used to wreck it on any stage

Any State

From the Hood to the suburb to you feeling me here

With the big neon lights whenever we came through

People pushing through like they don’t know what to do

Bouncers screaming «Hey, hey, hey»

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Hey hey hey

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
