Killing Me Softly With His Song

Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' my life with his words
Killin' me softly with his song
Killin' me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killin' me softly with his song

(Ah) yo (yeah, yeah)
This is Wyclef (now, uh-huh), Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here, uh)
Pra'zrel (Pra'zrel up in here, haha)
Lil' Base sits up there on the base (Refugees up in here, yeah)
While I'm on this road, I got my girl L (uh-huh)
One time (one time), one time (one time)
Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics (do-do-do)

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

Strummin' my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singin' my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killin' me softly with this song
Killin' me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killin' 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

Strummin' my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singin' my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killin' me softly with his song
Killin' me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killin' me softly with his song

Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge

Whoa
Whoa, ha-ha, uh, uh
La-la-la, la, la, la (la)
Whoa, la
Whoa, la (ha, ha, ha, ha)
La

Strummin' my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singin')
Singin' my life with his words (my life)
Killin' me softly with his song
Killin' me softly with his song (yeah)
Tellin' my whole life (whole life) with his words (his words)
Killin' me softly with his song (yo)

Strummin' my pain, yeah (yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie)
From the Refugee Camp (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
(Singin' my life with his words) up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef, Pra'zrel, said L-Boogie up in here, Wyclef up in here
My man Lil Base (Pra'zrel up in here, killin' me softly with his song)

Jerry one time (T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here, killin' me softly)
This is how we (Warren up-up in here, Outsiders up here, with his song, tellin' my whole life)
Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp (we got Fallon up in here, Mulaney)
Mulaney's up in here, we got Val' up in here (yeah)

Everybody got a breakin' point, kid, and they'll rat on you
The family -s'll rat on you
That's why we gotta be prepared to - out whoever we need to (man, motherfucker, I told you I was gonna get you next)
