Wyclef Jean Lyrics

Album: THE PREACHER'S SON

Celebrate Lyrics

(feat. Cassidy, Patti LaBelle)

 [Wyclef]

 Ladies and gentleman, the preacher's son

 Patti LaBelle is in the building

 

 [Wyclef]

 Let's celebrate, have a basement party

 A barbeque how we used to do

 On the avenue, have a family reunion

 Man, how I miss those days

 When the kids was kids, no knives on the street

 When the ice cream man came around the way

 Lord, Miss Patti, won't you help me sing

 Lord knows how I miss those days

 

 [Patti (Wyclef)]

 Dressing up for church on Easter Sunday (how I miss those days)

 Doing the electric slide at every party (how I miss those days)

 Oh, if only you knew, what I've been through (you would celebrate)

 You would celebrate (everybody just celebrate, how I miss those days)

 Get up, you would celebrate (celebrate, everything's gonna be ok, how I miss those days)

 

 [Wyclef (Patti)]

 I came in this game through the back door (get up)

 I know LaBelle, we were so much more (get up)

 We worked it, and earned it, God knows we deserved it (get up)

 Keep on striving, I know you'll make it

 

 [Wyclef (Patti)]

 Let's celebrate, have a basement party

 A barbeque how we used to do (yeah, get up)

 On the avenue, have a family reunion

 Man, how I miss those days

 When the kids was kids, no knives on the street

 When the ice cream man came around the way

 Lord, Miss Patti, won't you help me sing

 Lord knows how I miss those days

 

 [Patti (Wyclef)]

 Dressing up for church on Easter Sunday (how I miss those days), get up

 Doing the electric slide at every party (how I miss those days)

 Oh, if only you knew, what I've been through (you would celebrate)

 You would celebrate (everybody just celebrate, how I miss those days)

 Get up, you would celebrate (celebrate, everything's gonna be ok, how I miss those days), get up

 

 [Wyclef (Patti)]

 I'm gon' box these niggaz

 Take home on a number one belt (get up)

 We gonna pop that thug, oh no, to celebrate the wealth (get up)

 See, I'm a take that hay and turn it into loot

 Cause who ever God blessed no man can test (get up)

 Who ever God blessed, no man can test

 What goes up must surely come down, yes

 So watch who you hurt on your way up

 Cause they'll be laughing at you on your way down

 Tell the judge we don't want incarceration

 Cause we came for the celebration, hey

 So let the women and the children eat first

 Cause it's been so long since a celebration, Cassidy

 

 [Cassidy (Patti)]

 This Cassidy, let's celebrate (oh)

 I'm selling weed and got hella cake

 And I still got the dog in my backyard

 It's hamburgers, hot dogs in the back row (get up)

 On the grill we cooking it all up

 My mom got skills, she hooking it all up

 Man, it feels like back in the days

 When cats wasn't clapping to K's

 And hood rats was acting they age (get up)

 Clef and the rest of the game with me

 And me and Miss LaBelle, we rep the same city (get up)

 Philly, home of the blunts and the cheese steaks

 And I cannot be stopped, like I need breaks (get up)

 

 [Wyclef (Patti)]

 Let's celebrate, have a basement party

 A barbeque how we used to do (yeah)

 On the avenue, have a family reunion

 Man, how I miss those days

 When the kids was kids, no knives on the street

 When the ice cream man came around the way

 Lord, Miss Patti, won't you help me sing

 Lord knows how I miss those days
