L'union fait la force
R.I.P Jimmy yo
From the ashes we shall rise
Fan'Fan' Young clef
To my country of Haiti

(Chorus)
Hold on, be strong
No matter what you're goin' through
You know it's gon' be okay, okay, today
Even when the earth quakes

(Wyclef):
Like I said on BET, from the hood to the projects to the mansion,
So you got no excuse
Stop blaming the recession,
Go harder for Haiti
Send a text on your phone, Y E L E, 5 0 1 5 0 1

Every block, every school, dream initiation
So build the world make it a better place, like Michael Jackson we don't wanna see another 9-11 happen

Wish I had talked to them teenagers, with them rpg's
Goin' way head on with the navy seals
I would've told them theres a better way

(Chorus)
Hold on,(aint gotta be that way) be strong
No matter what you're goin through
You know it's gon' be okay, okay, today, today
Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, hold on, be strong, be strong
I know that you don't think that I can read your palms
But I see the dawn,the dawn, beyond
B'yond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothing but a blessed day today,
The sun will shine after the rain dries

(Mavado):
To all mah thugs dat gone, memories live on, I guess
see you at the crossroad
So many cry when we die and they wonder if we're in the sky
see you at the crossroad

I see you in my dream, dat night, dat crime scene
but don't worry, see you at the crossroad
Remember we still a team and I know you can hear me now
see you at the crossroad

(Chorus)
Hold on(aint gotta be that way), be strong
No matter what you're goin through
you know it's gon' be ok, ok, today, today
Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, hold on, be strong, be strong
I know that you don't think that I can read your palms
But I see the dawn, the dawn, beyond
B'yond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothing but a blessed day today,
The sun will shine after the rain dries

(Wyclef):
She wants to know, she wanna know how long I been playin'
As long as my mother, as long as my momma she been prayin'
She bought me a guitar, she bought me a guitar at eleven
She ain't want me be usin mac 11's

When I sing, so when I said daddy was gone 'til November
I knew, I knew that he wouldn't be back in November
Cause I could've been the one in the bank with a shank
with a pump and a ski mask
But my bank is the stage, my 12 gauge is black ***

(Chorus)
Hold on,(aint gotta be that way) be strong, be strong
No matter what you're goin through,
you know it's gon' be ok, ok, today, today
Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, hold on, be strong, be strong
I know that you don't think that I can read your palms
But I see the dawn, the dawn, beyond
B'yond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down,
It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today
The sun will shine, after the rain dries

If the rain falls down,
It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today,
The sun will shine, after the rain dries, rain dries, rain dries

You can see all the Haitians as they rebuild they nation
With fair trade, everybody trades
You trade, I trade and everybody gets paid

Election time around the corner who you gonna vote for

(Come on)

Alternative energy or oil in your SUV
Tell me what your looking for, we about to have a poll
Gun Control, Infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturer
Hip Hop Be My Culture
Tell me what you think about us
Technology and foreign policy
I need the bailout money to stimulate the economy
Raised on family values
My life be my testament
King had a dream and you too can be the president

Election time around the corner who you gonna vote for

Election time around the corner what you gonna fight for

Election time around the corner who you gonna vote for

My manager was jewish, he taught me Shabbat Shalom
Flatbush Rastas taught me the scriptures
Haile Selassie, Marcus Garvey
Saint L'Ouverture Haitian Revolution
Napoleon's Army got spanked by them Haitians
Toussaint St. Jean with the info
Did you know that a haitian founded Chicago
If I Was President
The first thing I would do is get my people out them tents

He gon' vote Taylor Swift she gon' vote Kanye ye ye
Election time is coming.

But them kids like...
