Ziggy Marley feat The Fugees Electric Avenue Lyrics

Oh no
Oh no
Say we gonna rock down through electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Say we gonna rock down to the Brooklyn avenues
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Oh no
Oh no

Yo Yo
Slick like Rick James when I hit
Super Freak chicks, I don't miss
Miss wit yo nose, my flows make you sick
Two chicks for me, none for you like twix
Play with n____s head like clef's guitar picks
Went from bottom pits to makin' hits and
Hollow tips and shootin' lips (right)
Handle my business, make sure it sits
Ride through the tunnels, f___ the guest lists
Light up the block with roman candlesticks
Known to blow shows with pyrotechnics
Rappin' bout yo wips while yo cat demands hits
Buyin' shorty gifts with checks from
Your record sound like a demo that was yet not mixed
Your whole styles broke and it should be fixed
Times runnin' out as my Rolex ticks
Don't get caught on the av, it's too electric

Say we gonna rock down through electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Say we gonna rock down through to the Brooklyn avenues
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Oh no
Oh no

I dedicate this to my peeps who roam the streets
God bless they souls, may they rest in peace
They'res those who finance and those who choose to lease
Whatever suits you better on the terms of your lease
Different strokes for different folks, god, I refuse to going back and
being
Broke, Lord
He got struck wit lightin', he got hit hard
Faces 20 to life maximum
His whole life is scarred
The preacher's son and I came off the Santa Maria
Ten cases of malt I caught the diarrhea
Load the refugees on the aircraft carrier
Some say dirty cash
we never heard of ya
(you don't know me? and don't know me?)

Say we gonna rock down through electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Say we gonna rock down through to the Brooklyn Avenues
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Oh no
Oh no

Alright alright
Watch yo back, watch yo side, swimmin wit sharks
String you like a harp while they playin' Mozart
No credentials, get nowhere like Ozlo
Sent to frisco, like the regal begal
Suave like rico, on fire like pyro
Frantic like scytso, rougher than Brillo
He caught the wrap like Donnie Brosko

Out in the streets there is violence
Down in Brooklyn there is violence
Down there in Queens there is violence
And there's a lot of work to be done (Lord)
Down there in the ghetto there's violence
In Miami there is violence
And there's a lot of work to be done (Lord)

Say we gonna rock down through refugee avenue
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
Say we gonna rockd own through Haiti avenue
And then we'll take it higher (higher)
(refugee all stars, yeah, yeah)
