Killing Me Softly With His Song

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

Yo (yeah, yeah)
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L Boogie up in here)
Pra'zrel (Pra'zrel up in here)
Little Base sittin' up there on the bass (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 his 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)
Bust it

Whoa
Whoa
Huh, huh-uh
La-la-la, la-la-la (la)
Whoa, la-ah (la, la)
Whoa, la-ah (la, la)
Yeah, ha, ha, ha (c'mon)
La (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was)
Singing my life with his words (mine)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song (yeah)
Telling my whole life (whole life) with his words (his words)
Killing me softly
With his song

Yo (strumming my pain), put your hands together
For L Boogie (yeah) from the Refugee Camp
(Singing my life with his words) Refugees up in here
(You know how we do) L Boogie up in here (yeah)
I said, L Boogie up in here (Wyclef, Prazrel) Wyclef, up in here
(Killing me softly with his song) my man Little Base
Pra'zrel up in here (Jerry one time), little T Rocks up in here
(Killing me softly) we got Warren up in here (this is how we)
Warren up, up in here (with his song)
Outsiders up in here (Refugee Camp)
(Telling my whole life)
We got Fallon up in here (Refugee Camp), Mulaney
Mulaney (with his words), Mulaney's up in here (yeah, Refugee Camp)
We got Val' up in here (killing me softly)

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 (yeah, motherfucker)
To take whoever out we need to (I told you I was gon' get you next)
