Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
(Ah) yo! (Yeah! Yeah!)
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here)
Pra'zrel (Pra'zrel up in here)
Lil Base sits up there on the base (Refugees up in here)
While I'm on this, I got my girl L
One time (one time), one time (one time)
Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
And listen for a while
And there he was
This young boy, stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
Then read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
(Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge!)
Whoa, whoa
La-la-la, la-la-la
Whoa, la
Whoa, la
La
Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing)
Yes he was singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain, yeah (strumming my pain)
Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie from the Refugee Camp (yeah, yeah)
(Singing my life) you know how we do
(Up in here, L-Boogie up in here) Wyclef, Pra'zrel (said L-Boogie up in here)
(Wyclef up in here) my man Lil Base
(Pra'zrel up in here) Jerry, one time
(T-Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here)
This is how we—
(Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here) Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp (we got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's up in here)
(We got Val' up in here)
Everybody got a breaking point, kid, and they'll rat on you
The family niggas'll rat on you
That's why we gotta be prepared to take out whoever we need to
(Man, motherfucker, I told you I was gonna get you next)
