If you were thinking this was a cover of the made by famous song of Bob Marley, you were right! The fugees had a great connection, music wise, with his beats and feel good spirit of music, which inspired them to wrote this one. I enjoy this song to this day, and always bring me up from a bad mood.
Lyrics
Quote :
[Intro:Wyclef Jean:] A dedication to all the refugees worldwide One time say, say, say
[Verse One:Wyclef Jean] I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn. Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet. Good friends we had, Good friends we've lost along the way. In this great future you can't forget your past, So dry your tears I say And to my peeps who passed Away, No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say say say. Hey little sister don't shed no tears No woman no cry say say say. I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey, And little Georgie would make the firelight, As stolen cars passed through the night And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew. My drink's my only remedy For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty, Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright, Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright, O everything's gonna be alright, The gun man's in the house tonight, But everything's gonna be alright.
[CHORUS: Oh ah oh ah (7 times)]
[Verse Two:Clef] No woman no cry, no woman no cry. Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears no woman no cry say say say. I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown. The hypocrites as they mingled with the good people we meet. Good friends we had Oh good friends we've lost Along the way hey. In this great future, You can't forget your past so dry your tears I say And no woman no cry. No woman no cry say say say. Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears No woman no cry and to my peeps who passed away
