Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Yo, this is Wyclef, Refugee Camp
Frieswell, Little Bass
Sitting up here on the bass
While I'm on this road, I got my girl Elle
One time, one time
Hey yo Elle, you know you got the lyrics
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
And listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy
Stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Yo Elle, take me to the bridge
I said whoa, whoa
La la la la la la
Whoa, la
Whoa, la
La
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Yes, he was singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his songs
Killing me softly with his songs
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his songs
Strumming my pain
Put your hands together for El Boogie from the Refugee Camp
You know how we do it
Y-Clap, Y-Swag
My man Lil Bass
Jerry one time
This is how we are
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
Yeah
Everybody got a breaking point kid
And they a rat on you
The family niggas a rat on you
That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need
