mid life crisis

Singer:wyclef jean

quincy jones once told me

the music industry is not a 50 yard dash

it's global gumbo - and that's a marathon

are you ready to finish what you started?

little burns on my back

i'm back from hell's fire

little games

you say the devil's alive

anything we can conquer

olympians

i'm on my second wind running like a jamaican

i went from dreads to a bald cut

took the few shots

still caught the wrap-up

closest they got to me falling was on dave chappelle's show

when dylan was chocking the legend

and what an impression i leave on your girlfriend

not physically

but it's my voice that she's hearing

she like that

aye

sing along - she know the words to every song

aye

she call me don dada - her favorite movie top shotter

she love when i speak creole

what up?

me and colleagues go back with butter

fuco

early in morning

you still wake up

brush my teeth and hit the block up

hustle hard is what i'm made of

some cut coke

i cut that guitar up

we keeps many cars with the big rims

big mansions with rottweilers fenced in

some did anything just to get there

some see fame and some saw the prison

some see fame and some see the prison

some see fame and some see the prison

you're doing time

in prison?

hold your head up

i hope you get a party

could've been me

in the same place

that's why every night

i say my grace

strong-headed

ain't a thing i can't achieve

so off the beat

top three emcees

music mogul

philanthropy

y'all know how i do with my epiphanies

why now? why not now?

many'll call but only a few can move the crowd

i started off a battle emcee

before the smack dvds and url league

but lately

lyrically

been underestimated

but the rap side of my brain is reactivated

but thanks to my momma

used to pray

oh lord

have my son focus on music and not a sawed-off

some say i had a mid-life crisis

the colleagues would pick on my birthday

why envy charlamagne? it's my birthday

it

it's my birthday

it

it's my birthday

but who know where we going

papi?

what it do? the catwalk

fashion week

ne me quitter pas"
