Wyclef Jean - Gunpowder Lyrics

Send "Gunpowder" ringtone to your cell

I asked my mother why do you cry

She said your brother had... he just died

Well I told him not to go outside

He said he had to fight for his country's right

But don't you know that mo-mother

Don't you know that we can't stop the violence no

Because the war is not over

Until you can feel love peace and hear silence

But I smell gunpowder (pow)

My brother's been dead ever since

I didn't beleive it but when I

Saw him I was convinced

Two shots to the head he was already dead Lord

I headed for revenge in the city of Port Au Prince

Screaming bro-brother

Don't you know that we can't stop the violence no

Because the war is not over

Until you can feel love peace and hear silence

But I smell gunpowder (Pow)

Zion's gunpowder (pow)

L.A.'s gunpowder (pow)

I wanna know why

Christians pray for a new day

We don't need no we don't need

No we don't need no

But its still the same way

I wanna know why

Ghetto people pray for a new day

Hey hey heeey

And its still the same way

But the preacher man told me

Good things come to those who wait

Do good things come to those who wait?

I wanna know tell me

Good things come to those who wait

Do good things come to those who wait?

We wanna know we wanna know

We wanna know [pause]

Pe-people

Don't you know that we can't stop the violence no

Because the war is not over

Until you can feel love peace

And hear the silence

But I smell gunpowder (gunpowder)

Brooklyn's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Shaolin's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Uptown's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Jersey's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Even New Zealand's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Australia's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Brixton's gunpowder (gunpowder)

Even New Haven's gunpowder
