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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

White notebook[00:00:28]

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

I'm a Haitian Haitian[00:00:32]

When I landed in America 'Merica[00:00:34]

I got myself a green card green card[00:00:38]

Mamma say if I ever break the law[00:00:41]

They gone send me back home[00:00:44]

This is my Haitian experience[00:00:45]

First stop out in England England[00:00:48]

Immigration send me back to Washington Washington[00:00:51]

Said I need a visa if I wanted to be[00:00:54]

In the United Kingdom[00:00:57]

I pray that the Queen of Buckingham is listening[00:00:59]

Your Highness I got a palace out[00:01:02]

In Port Au Prince[00:01:04]

I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land[00:01:06]

But I can't go back and see my people[00:01:09]

In the ticks[00:01:11]

I'm a Haitian in America[00:01:13]

When papa first got his green card worked[00:01:18]

Seven jobs in America[00:01:20]

Then he came and got me from Haiti told me[00:01:24]

I had one chance[00:01:25]

To make it in America[00:01:27]

In the legal Valley and looking for work[00:01:31]

In Manhattan in America[00:01:34]

My papa was a Haitian Haitian[00:01:37]

He got to America 'Merica[00:01:40]

On a six month visa visa[00:01:43]

When the visa expired he went underground[00:01:46]

Like rats in the sewer[00:01:49]

This is the Haitian experience[00:01:50]

Running from the Immigration Interrogation[00:01:53]

But his vision was his chosen[00:01:56]

How you gon' get us to New York[00:01:58]

Absolute lost and at sea and never see the airport[00:02:00]

Yeah I pray that the President is up there listening[00:02:04]

Your Excellence I got a palace out in Port Au Prince[00:02:08]

I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land[00:02:11]

So we go move from detention we go we build the land[00:02:14]

I'm a Haitian in America[00:02:18]

When papa first got his green card[00:02:23]

Worked seven jobs in America[00:02:25]

Then he came and got me from Haiti[00:02:29]

Told me I had one chance[00:02:31]

To make it in America[00:02:32]

So I learned to play guitar with dreams[00:02:36]

Of becoming a rock star[00:02:38]

In America[00:02:40]

I'm a Haitian[00:03:09]

I'm a Haitian in America[00:03:10]

When papa first got his green card worked[00:03:15]

Seven jobs in America[00:03:18]

Then he came and got me from Haiti told me[00:03:21]

I had one chance[00:03:23]

To make it in America[00:03:24]

In the legal Valley and looking for work[00:03:28]

In Manhattan in America[00:03:31]

What we gone do right now is we gone go back[00:03:36]

Way back[00:03:39]

To what I call Lassie[00:03:41]

The roots the Haitian experience[00:03:44]

Let's go[00:03:47]

Look in her eyes she will survive[00:03:49]

She smiles like she's in love[00:03:52]

She's 21 she lost her feeding arms[00:03:55]

But she aingt lose her soul dancing outta control[00:03:58]

Like Angelina Ballerina[00:04:02]

Like Angelina Ballerina[00:04:05]

Like Angelina Ballerina[00:04:08]

Na na na na na na na na[00:04:11]

Yes I'm a Haitian in America[00:04:14]

When papa first got his green card[00:04:20]

Worked seven jobs in America[00:04:22]

Then he came and got me from Haiti told me[00:04:26]

I had one chance[00:04:28]

To make it in America[00:04:30]

In the legal Valley and looking for work[00:04:34]

In Manhattan in America[00:04:36]

Man I just got on a plane leaving Haiti[00:05:18]

And I landed in Brooklyn New York City Cooney Island[00:05:23]

Marlboro Projects man in projects[00:05:27]

It's so rough to blend in[00:05:30]

I learned to how to rock sing dance pop[00:05:32]

Loc whatever it took[00:05:34]

Yeah that's my dad a Haitian living in America[00:05:39]
