Knockin' On Heaven's Door Lyrics


I remember playin' my guitar in the projects
A product of the environment
I told my Mom I'ma get up out of da hood
My Dad taught me the American dream, baby
If I did it y'all could do itMama take these guns away from here
I can't shoot them anymore
I feel a dark cloud coming over me
It feels like I'm knockin' on the Heaven's doorTo Biggie Smalls and Tupac
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door
To Freaky Tah and Big Heavy
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's doorAnd to the princess Aaliyah we're
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door
To my brother Big Punwe're
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door, oh LordWould someone take these guns away from here
I can't shoot my brothers anymore
I feel a dark cloud coming over me
It feels like, it feels like I'm knockin' on the Heaven's door
So sing along street children we'reKnock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door

And to my Daddy that passed away
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door
To the God, Fred Jordan we'reKnock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door
To my people doin' time we're
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's doorCrypts and bloods, Latin peace, please just chill wit the violence
Though even though I know that the bad boy move in silence
I'm asking y'all please chill wit the violence
Said even though I know that the gangsters move in silenceWe're knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door
To my people in the twin tower
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's door
And to my soldiers in the pentagon we're
Knock, knock, knockin' on the Heaven's doorNew York, New York, New York, New York, New York
To my people in the streets I'm talkin' to you now
Please put down your heat
To my brothers that's on the corner, oh God
Get out quick or you too will be knockin' on Heaven's door

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1972 in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haïti) is an American rapper, producer, and member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles.

Jean moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in his high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend (so close they told people they were cousins growing up) Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver.

Recently he has been finding success as a collaborator - with his turn on Shakira's 2006 track 'Hips Don't Lie' hitting number one in many countries around the world.

In August of 2010, Jean announced his intent to seek the presidency of Haiti. This move came after his increasingly-high profile humanitarian work in the wake of the earthquake that devastated that nation.
