featuring The Fugees 

WJ: Yo this mic is on? 
The wickedest combination in the world! 

WI: No doubt  Poor Righteous Teachers  Refugees  you know what I'm saying? 

[Pras] 
Walk around in the record industry 
I'm looking at all the Pharasees 
Asking me where I'm going 
All I know is one day that Babylon will be fallen 
They welcome me into Jerusalem 
Eighty niggas highly crucial by Ham 
I got my .45 by my side 
Just in case another nigga tests me someone's gonna die 

[Wyclef Jean] 
Bo bo so bo I leave the boat for the pope 
Smoke mad weed but not touch Bayley Coke 
Primary purpose of the set 
Is to present techniques and guided practice 
And forced access to forfeit 
Emcees lose focus 
Wyclef to accomplish throwing crumbs in the hell pit 
Vocabulary, comprehension, steady reading and critical analyzing 
Techniques to enable DJ's to interact with my material 
Play it on your turntable scratch it if you're able 
Characteristics, circumstances 
Will determine how long you live Mr. actor, Mrs. actress 

[Pras] 
I act will snatch gats from kids with packed back black raps 
In an Ac to get with that 

LH: Ah ah ah ah 

WI: Easy! 

[Wise Intelligent] 
Black people say I represent when I get my chance 
But when I'm rippin' to this beat, yo it's my nubian dance 
That I be doing 
Around these suckers' titles that I ruin 
Although you do not like the flow you should not have been booing 
Now you and your crew had better get your act together 
Before I have to cut the fool release the stormy weather 
Whatever you say, but nigga pop your shit my way 
And you'll be screaming "Mercy me" like if your name was Marvin Gaye 
Now put it away and stay the f*ck up out my face 
I smack you in the mouth homeboy and you'll be missing taste 
What a waste to everything existing up till now 
So many claiming butter but just don't be knowing how 

LH: Ah ah ah 

WI: So my selector, come with the rhythm! 

[Pras] 
For sure I'm law to be the poor righteous conscious 
You might just feel thrust when I touch like Midas 
My toungue is gigantic, lyrics are tremendous 
Wyclef and Pras they drop hits wherever they goes like Gladys 
Catch the midnight train to Georgia 
As my tongue does a dropkick like Sgt. Slaughter 
New world order, you lions who are trying to roar 
I'll silence you lambs like Jodie Foster 
There's no need to feel sentimental 
Parental guidance is advised for those who despise 
The Wise and Intelligent, Refugees, immigrants 

LH: Ah ah ah ah 

WI: My selector, Culture Freedom lay the wickedest basslines 

[Wise Intelligent] 
May...I... kick a little something for the G-O-D's in the J-E-are-S-E-why 
Because you niggas know me I'm the da gan ya dee 
Sixteen five four three five coincide freak wise 
Time you recognize who run up in the nine 
Rush like water raw cuts in your guts 
Trails from Rozelle oh hell we rock bells 
Live as Stuyvesant, Wise and them, rise again 
The Gods A.V.G. they'll bomb Washin- 
No man 'em trouble they jet something 
Don't make me have to kick you on your God damned chin 
I'll frappe you in your head with bottle of Heinekein 
La 
Mister Wise 

[Lauryn Hill] 
OK, ha 
My intellect will protect what you threaten 
Captain to Lieutenant, even take cadets in 
I take them all rich and to the powerful 
Don't fear no other force I be defining your hardcore 
The folklore you spread down over tracks 
Got you gassed off some shit may I suggest Ex-Lax 
Relax! Your whole perception seems to be distorted 
In my dimensions fake refugees get deported 
Jokers be biting each other's styles so much it's eerie 
So many deja vu's but can't no other crews come near me 
It's weary, my brothers couldn't hold this if they grasped it 
Confession to Jesus are even tried to master 
I passed it off the levels of your mere mathematics 
I'm on some astrophysics Quantum Leaping on your tactics 
Triple bypasses, your crew's slow as molasses 
While I amass cream like Jackie Kennedy Onassis 

Ah ah ah ah 
Refugee P.R.T. connect 
New Jersey, this is how we do it 

WI: If hip hop was a thing that money could not buy 
The righteous would never live and the righteous would never die 
Poor Righteous teachers and Refugees come to testify 
We world sexy style 
Yo
