Kiling me softly with his song (Charles Fox - Norman Gimbel)






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

This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here)

Praswell (Praswell up in here)

Lil' Base sittin' up here on the bass (Refugees up in here)

While I'm on this, I got my girl

One time (one time), one time (one time)

Ayo, L, 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 (one time, one time)

Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)

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'd 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 (one time, one time)

Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)

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, L-Boog, take me to the bridge


Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life)

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 (whole life, with his words)

Killing me softly with his song

Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain)

From the Refugee Camp 

(Singing my life) up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here

Wyclef, Praswell, said L-Boogie up in here

Wyclef up in here

My man Lil' Base (Praswell up in here)

Jerry one time

T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here

This is how we (Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here)

We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's up in here

(Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp)

Everybody got a breakin' point kid

And they'll rat on you

The family niggas will rat on you

That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need to
