[HendrixLiveOn4ever]

If I was president  I would bring underground music to mainstream

[DJRobat9k]

@HendrixLiveOn4ever What a faggot.

[HendrixLiveOn4ever]

@DJRobat9k Guess you don't understand music ...

[jjonas222]

thank you so much for posting this. My CD got scratched a long time ago and i havent been able to hear this remix til now.

[MsWellers]

This is an amazing song. It's kinda sad and pathetic how true this song is. And Rodney1236 Dang dude, You need some help. Why the heck would the government try and change the lyrics to this song? I mean honestly that's just ridiculous.

[la1boyle]

fucking sell out... good song anyway.... but if you listen to "ive got a feeling" lyrics, you will notice this guy is a double face fucker..

[helpme92]

@la1boyle I've got a feeling is the Black eyed peas, not Wyclef

[la1boyle]

@helpme92 ohhh i forgot that wyclef doesnt sing at the black eyed peas!!!! sell out!

[rodney1236]

I love this song

[rodney1236]

the lyrics doesnt even match the lyrics i think this is a big problem that should be fixed...and personally i think its misleading and government like to have the written lyrics not matching the original lyrics...it makes me think someone doesnt want me to know the real lyrics.......if i were president......best song in the world....and he is speaking the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth please put the actual lyrics up please and dont buy into bribes or threats from the government

[jrbrandon]

@rodney1236 Seriously? A government plot to change the lyrics of Wyclef Jean songs? The reason the lyrics don't match is because he has different versions of the song. I'm just going to remove the lyrics altogether so you don't think the sky is falling.

[rodney1236]

a better way to sooth my sky is falling thoughts is to put the actual lyrics of the actual version up (taking the lyrics off is just going to make me think the sky if falling even faster ) and even if there were 1000 versions of this song then you obviously should have picked the right lyrics to match your version....if i had a jay z video and lyrics from a different version people like me will ask questions...

[tamemsam]

lol XD

[CaliforniaKid909]

@rodney1236 Your stupid because the lyrics sounds good to me

[gewey911]

One wyclef is better than no Wyclef. Still there should be more like Wyclef

[Johndoe804]

Beautiful song. Reminds me of Bob Marley's proverbial words. That bodes well for Wyclef Jean.

[rodney1236]

yes

[JayShawn89]

but what about american children who really need help how come celebs wont do this for us what if we all that money was raised was given to american ppl who truely need help huh but that will never happen americans never help their own country

[Rastacolarmaan17]

wow your dumb

[123whatthehell321]

America is able to help itself. Talk about the poor children, yeah it's sad but so are their welfare parents who i sadly am paying for through the hard earned money that I myself earned...

[rooftoptile04]

cuz we are a bunch of pompous rich white people who are too incompetent to realize our country's in the shitter :/ we don't deserve help, we deserve a congress that will let people pass acts that will actual help us :/

[mrjost55]

I remember when this guy appeared on Chappelle's

[Sokithedemon]

@mrjost55 yeah he sang this song and played it acoustic... i remember being mesmerized by it... truly beautiful

[aWolfSong]

Haiti really needs help and I'm really gad that celebrities are trying all they can to help...but I really hope thats enough. It takes billions to rebuild a country, I don't think Haiti will ever be the same. ='( Cry for them... feel their pain... people are diein.... never the same again...

[sparx7974]

luckily over 57 million has already been raised and its still counting

[boosted05stang]

yeah but i garuntee not all 57 mil will make it to haiti's struggle

[monkeydog2332]

You're right, but just watch WolfSong. Haiti WILL be rebuilt, likely much more "built" than it is now, after billions of dollars in World Bank loans are shoved down their throats. It'll improve living conditions, but it'll enslave Haiti. It happens all over the world, time and time again.

[aWolfSong]

Piss off, you fool! This is obviously not taking your money. PEOPLE ARE DIEING in HAITI, no one is THAT LOW, to scam yu to pay to a fake disaster. You are twisted. You're Only worried about your riches, WHEN OTHER PEOPLE REALLY NEED IT. YOU MAKE ME SICK. GO TO HELL. THES PEOPLE NEED THAT MONEY!

[TheBamaAirsoftTeam]

@aWolfSong Prayin is stronger then money...because money cant save lives.

[sparx7974]

the lyrics are really really off

[jrbrandon]

@sparx7974 that is wyclef singing them himself... how could they be off?

[sparx7974]

the lyrics in the side bar are diffrent then what he actually says in the song

[jrbrandon]

@sparx7974 Got it! Thanks for pointing that out.

[PunkInDrublic3]

Your help is desperately needed. The most important thing you can do is contribute to relief efforts.If you are able, please make a contribution now. You can text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund

[jrbrandon]

@CircusMaximus09 Really?

[PianoHamsters]

XP lol

[tonyloco09]

PunkLnDrublic3 how do we know this isnt a scam to take our money????

[PunkInDrublic3]

There is so much devastation and suffering caused by Tuesday's earthquake in my native home of Haiti. Over 3 million people impacted. The death toll is still unknown but estimated to be thousands. All this in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

[EolBlank]

Haiti, on vous oublie pas :3

[eer415]

TIGHT SONG.....E BZ

[suedenwicked]

i swear to god its true man no joke thats why since then wyclef hasnt gone out of the country becauseif he does he'l get killed probly

[verdemanthe1]

[verdemanthe1]

400billion a year should feed and shelter us all

[14darknessnumba]

i think the guy made up the lyrics. they're missin some

[screwu18]

Hes using the lyrics from when Wyclef preformed it on chappelle's show

[PunkInDrublic3]

he used the lyrics from this song when he performed it on Chappelle's Show.

[hardknocke9]

that freestyle was sick.. dope music man

[arthurleon1387]

the lyrics are a little off because they're from his performance on the chapelle show...he changed it up a little bit for that.

[jketch2]

Father McKnight! Sene! Missy!

[PurtyBoiii]

[northside2k7]

[12jose234]

cool song

[EpluirbusUnum1]

I love this song and this artist...He reminds me of a new generation Marley... Love it!

[Djemps]

Who's the white guy at 2:57? I lived in Haiti for a year back in 2003 near Pignon and there was a white man living there who had married a Haitian woman and worked as a contractor. I could swear this is the guy.

[jrbrandon]

Yes! That's "Neil Dlo" who lives in Pignon and works with the community to get clean water from wells, etc. That's awesome that you know of him!
