Clap Lyrics


We try our best to survive, and keep our heads to the sky,, its that stress and depression goodbye
If we could just get it right, oh, oh
Do away with the club and the drug spots
Do away with the judge and the mug shots
Like we do away with the day when the sun drops
Clap your hands if youre tired of hearing gunshots
Or hear news about who got popped
By another black man or knocking a white cop
If I aint there when they start the fight stop like oh
Slow your roller be collers the ice pop yo
We gotta start helping each other quit hurting each other
Money you have a nigger take it by murdering his mother
How does it feel being slave to a dollar bill?
Give your something I can bill, ya for real
Do away with all the Chinese restaurants
Do away with all the fakes Gloria Estefans
Clap your hands if you love it and just play shit
Cause we dont just make songs, we make statements

We try our best to survive, and keep our heads to the sky, , its that stress and depression goodbye
If we could just get it right, oh okDo away with the hip hop police force,
Fuck the pigs, I was taught not to eat pork
Clap your hands if you aint forget what you came for
Clap again and youre ready to see the change come
I used to live in the same slum as Mike Tyson and
Thats where the knuckle came from
Spring Valley had the same bond
We had to stay and hide cause we aint had an income
Now they on the track like when the train come
Now ravages vip said so
And with my man youre just about to witness historyClap, clap, clap your hands if you love it and just play shit
We try our best to survive, and keep our heads to the sky, , its that stress and depression goodbye
If we could just get it right, oh ok
We trying our best to survive, tell me when were gonna get it right
Just keep our heads to the sky, its that stress and depression goodbye
Oh ok, oh ok, oh ok, oh ok, oh ok
Oh ok, oh ok, oh ok, oh ok, oh ok
Tell me when were gonna get it right
All we gotta do is keep our heads to the sky, I dont know you holler that hear me now, oh ok.

There are at least five artists with this name:

1) An American Rapper
2) A Post-Punk band from Leamington Spa

1) Saigon (born Brian Carenard, 1978) is an African-American rapper. Born in Newburgh, New York, He spent his upbringing moving between immediate and extended family members in Spring Valley, New York and Brooklyn as well as parts of New Jersey and Virginia. He cites his mother's inattention towards him due to the new arrival of numerous younger siblings as being the catalyst for his roughly 15-year rebellious period. At age 11 he began selling marijuana and at age 13 he had joined in a neighborhood gang. By the time Saigon reached 15 he had already been involved in at least two shootings for which he received jail time. This would be his home for the majority of the next several years of his life as he was "raised" in the New York Penal System. While incarcerated, he took the stage name Saigon from the influential Vietnam War book “Bloods” by Wallace Terry, which he read while he was serving time in prison.

He is currently signed to Just Blaze's Fort Knox Entertainment record label and is working on his major label debut entitled The Greatest Story Never Told for a November 2006 release, which has now been postponed to a later unannounced date.

He appeared on the second season of the HBO television series Entourage and this is credited as being a big boost to his career to the point where the mainstream U.S. population is beginning to recognize him as opposed to simply his previously small following. He also appears in the third season.

He also performed separate tracks with both Australian hip hop MC Phrase and singer Daniel Merriweather in 2005.

MTV News reported that on January 19th 2006, Saigon was stabbed in the temple with a beer bottle as he left a dinner in the Chelsea section of New York. A man approached Saigon and attempted to steal a chain of his, worth $18,000. When Saigon grabbed it back, a fight started. Saigon, bleeding from the head, tried to hail down a taxi (not wanting to get blood in his Mercedes Benz) but was unable to and drove himself to Bellevue Hospital where he received seventy stitches.

2) Saigon is also the name of an early 80's 3 piece Post-Punk band from Leamington Spa. Their music was released through First Floor Records.


3) Also the name of a Swedish heavy metal band

4) Punk band from orange County California. Released a self-titled EP in 1981.
