Yo, the Brooklyn Bridge is going to collapse yo
 Yo, this is Wyclef Jean the Refugee Allstars up in here
 The CNN for the world
 Yo what's this I here about the police in Brooklyn?
 Turn this jam up yo
 Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay
 I want the whole world to hear this joint right here (apocalypse baby)
 Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay
 You asked for it buddy, here it comes...

 [Wyclef - Hook] - 2x
 One, two ; watch out for the man in blue
 Three, four; I keep it raw and hardcore
 Five, six; you're beating us with nightsticks
 Seven, eight; I'm forced to pack a thirty-eight
 Nine, ten; you put me in a pen
 if I could do it all again, I'd probably bust your chin

 [Wyclef - Verse One]
 I'm from a land of black bats, alley rats and cats
 Scratch up my car, set me up for the carjack
 Under pressure, I've got a legal gat
 Two straps, a total of sixteen caps
 Say something positive? More positivity
 More positivity, more police brutality
 Thugs get angry, the violence increase
 You want peace, make Wyclef chief of police
 Riding through the hood it's the same old story
 It's either you play ball or you drug dealy-dealy
 Standing on the block when the spot gets hot
 Guaranteed to get set up, by a crooked cop
 So I'm sittin back, rhyming on instrumentals
 Anything I touch, it turns monumental
 Me and Jerry Wonder, we keep it credible for the streets
 At the same time we've gotta eat
 When we commercialize it's to enterprise
 We're guaranteed to sell a hundred mil before we die
 But Jerry is broke, that's the situation
 Nine-seven, it's like no more eviction
 No more war milk, no more government cheese
 Police keep on shooting at our bulletproof Bentleys

 [Pre-chorus]
 Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay
 The Brooklyn Bridge is about to collapse, apocalypse
 This the type of jam that be getting No Airplay
 The ghetto is fed up, we got the arms in the air

 [Hook] - 1x

 [Wyclef - Verse Two]

 Hey yo, back on Earth, the party's still at the Tunnel
 on the West side of the river, what man quiver
 Rats get fed to the alligator
 Gun blasts equivalent to the bombs in Pearl Harbor
 Rescue choppers, Brooklyn turned to Hiroshima
 I'm driving to Jersey to escape the terror
 I was on the highway pushing a black Viper
 A car pulls up, is he a jack or a sniper?
 A blue Range Rover, he says pull over
 I didn't know he was a DT undercover
 I screamed out my lungs, 'This is discrimination!
 What's the charge?'
 He said, 'You just robbed a gas station'
 'Who me? Not me! It couldn't be,
 I was at the Grammy's with L-Boogie, didn't you see me on TV?'
 'B.S.!, you're all in the same gang'
 He ran me off the road, like he was Roscoe Pe-col-trane
 I stayed calm, gave him a hell of a show
 Cause if it's ever time to go, all I gotta press is turbo
 Heard him on his walkie, road block on 280 West
 Things got serious, that's when I bust a left
 U-Turn, my tires burn, my concern, was the truck
 comin head-on collision waited a second, changed position
 Close one heh, I almost went up in a blaze
 Running from what appeared to be a masquerade
 You know the story, it's the same old math
 In Brooklyn, police put a plunger up a man's ass!

 [Pre-Chorus]
 This is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay
 The Brooklyn Bridge will collapse son!
 This is the type of kam that be getting No Airplay
 Police brutality needs to stop!!!

 [Hook]

 I'm out!
 Wyclef Jean, CNN...CNN...CNN! (Where Brooklyn at?! Where Brooklyn at?)
 Can't forget Jersey though baby!
 Police brutality is all around the whole world,
 we really need to chill all of that out
