Lauryn Hill - No Woman, No Cry lyrics

[Intro:] A dedication to all the refugees worldwide... One time say, say, say [Verse 1] I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet Good friends we had, 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 pa**ed away [Hook:] 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 [Verse 2] I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey And little Georgie would make the firelight As stolen cars pa**ed through the night And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew My drink's my only remedy for pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright O everything's gonna be alright The gun man's in the house tonight But everything's gonna be alright [Hook] [Verse 3] I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown Oba-oserving 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 [Hook] [Outro] And to my peeps who pa**ed away..
