A dedication to all the refugees worldwide |
|
One time say, say, say |
|
I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn. |
|
Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet. |
|
Good friends we had, |
|
Good friends we've lost along the way. |
|
In this great future you can't forget your past, |
|
So dry your tears I say |
|
And to my peeps who passed |
|
Away, |
|
No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say say say. |
|
Hey little sister don't shed no tears |
|
No woman no cry say say say. |
|
I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey, |
|
And little Georgie would make the firelight, |
|
As stolen cars passed through the night |
|
And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew. |
|
My drink's my only remedy |
|
For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty, |
|
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright, |
|
Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright, |
|
O everything's gonna be alright, |
|
The gun man's in the house tonight, |
|
But everything's gonna be alright. |
|
[CHORUS: Oh ah oh ah (7 times)] |
|
[CLEF:] |
|
No woman no cry, no woman no cry. |
|
Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears |
|
no woman no cry say say say. |
|
I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown. |
|
The hypocrites as they mingled with the good people we meet. |
|
Good friends we had Oh good friends we've lost |
|
Along the way hey. |
|
In this great future, |
|
You can't forget your past so dry your tears I say |
|
And no woman no cry. No woman no cry say say say. |
|
Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears |
|
No woman no cry and to my peeps who passed away |
