Song Lyrics

A dedication to all the refugees worldwide, ah
One time

Say, say, say
I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn
Obe-Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet
Good friends we had
Oh, 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, ooh
My drink's my only remedy
For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone shorty
Everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright
Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
The gun man's in the house tonight
But everything is gonna be alright

(Oh ah oh ah)
(Oh ah oh ah) Jersey's in here
(Oh ah oh ah) Brooklyn's in here
(Oh ah oh ah)
(Oh ah oh ah)
(Oh ah) I'm high
(Oh ah oh ah)
(Oh ah oh ah)

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 Trench Town
Obe-Observing 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

(Oh ah oh ah)
(Oh ah oh ah) Where you at?
(Oh ah oh ah)
(Oh ah)
