《Haitian Experience》歌词

[00:00:01] Haitian Experience - Wyclef Jean

[00:00:05] Yeah now I'm a rockstar

[00:00:08] It started with my imagination

[00:00:09] Used to gaze at the twins before the birds hit 'em

[00:00:12] Daydream about the God my axe my Excalibur

[00:00:16] A man who just saw the future beyond the dishwater

[00:00:19] Yeah cab driver used to gyspy cab rider

[00:00:23] But she stuck with me when I had nothing

[00:00:24] So I had to wife her

[00:00:26] And I used write these thoughts on a black and

[00:00:28] White notebook

[00:00:29] Haitian experience now I'm a page in a book
