In The Zone
Wyclef Jean Lyrics

I believe in miracles
I have faith in extraordinary events

Where you from?
What is your place of origin?

You sexy thing (you sexy thing, you)
You are attractive and enticing

Since you came along
Since you entered my life

Uno, dos (check it out), tres, cuatro
Counting in Spanish, emphasizing the start of something

I woke up in a dream, Wyclef and Ivy Queen
I found myself in an unreal situation with Wyclef and Ivy Queen

Drinkin with your Hennessey, you spit on Louis the XIII
Drinking alcohol and disrespecting expensive beverages

I ain't tipsy but C-O-P stopped me
I am not intoxicated, but the police stopped me

Cause I'm with Omar, a Puerto Rican with a Lamborghini
Because I am accompanied by Omar, a Puerto Rican with a Lamborghini

Ole, ole but this ain't a bullfight
Expressing excitement, but not in the context of a bullfight

Late at night, I'm gonna bring the fright of Poltergeist
During the night, I will bring the terrifying fear of a Poltergeist

Looked at me through the shades, Tried to play me like a hermit
He looked at me through sunglasses and tried to deceive me like I am clueless

I looked at Omar and said, 'Yo pass me my gun permit'
I looked at Omar and asked him to give me my license to carry a firearm

Todas las culturas se unen esta vez
All cultures come together this time

Representando los Boricuas junto a Wyclef
Representing the Puerto Ricans alongside Wyclef

Queena es mi nombre el original Borinquen
Queena is my name, the original Boricua

De tal manera demuestro como, so come again
In this way, I demonstrate how it's done, so repeat it

Yes, Queena, de que es al pa' ahi
Yes, Queena, where are you from, there?

Que no se olvide de que es la ley
Don't forget that this is the law

Vamos celebrar en el tola y va cantando
Let's celebrate in the tola while singing

Y combate lo que me pertenece
And fight for what belongs to me

Hey where you from Ivy Queen?
Hey, what is your place of origin, Ivy Queen?

Puerto Rico, One time!
Puerto Rico, one time!

Hey yo all my thug cats, back to the crime
Hey, all my criminal friends, let's go back to illegal activities

He looked at my permit and said, 'Get out the car'
He examined my license and instructed me to exit the car

I'm about to bring the earth, wind, and fire life from Shining Star
I am going to bring a vibrant and energetic atmosphere like the song 'Shining Star'

Looked at him bizarre, I said, 'Hell no'
I gave him a strange look and firmly refused

The music got tense in a place called el barrio
The atmosphere became intense in a neighborhood known as 'el barrio'

Representan no de maneras, man
We represent ourselves not through appearances, man

No hay colonias que nos detengan
No colonies can stop us

La-tinos, vengan, siempre sobresalen
Latinos, come together, always stand out

A los americanos demostrando lo que saben
Showing Americans what they are capable of

Come again, yeah
Repeat it, yeah

He looked at my permit and said, 'Get out the car'
He examined my license and instructed me to exit the car

I'm about to bring the earth, wind, and fire life from Shining Star
I am going to bring a vibrant and energetic atmosphere like the song 'Shining Star'

Looked at him bizarre, I said, 'Hell no'
I gave him a strange look and firmly refused

The music got tense in a place called el barrio
The atmosphere became intense in a neighborhood known as 'el barrio'

Representan no de maneras, man
We represent ourselves not through appearances, man

No hay colonias que nos detengan
No colonies can stop us

La-tinos, vengan, siempre sobresalen
Latinos, come together, always stand out

A los americanos demostrando lo que saben
Showing Americans what they are capable of

Come again, yeah
Repeat it, yeah

Ivy Queen, there was no one around the street
Ivy Queen, there were no people on the street

Was like ghost town, six cop cars, one black, one Porto Rican
It felt deserted, with six police cars, one of them black and one driven by a Puerto Rican

I ain't a shook one, so I got out the car
I am not easily frightened, so I stepped out of the car

I close my eyes, son, I'm waitin for police to blast one
I shut my eyes, son, and anticipate the police shooting someone

Te digo lo que ?, demuestro lo que doy
Let me tell you something, I prove what I can do

A (yeah) todos los hermanos habran pasos te voy
To all the brothers, I am opening doors for you

Que no dejes, que no crees que vengo esta vez
Don't doubt that I am here this time

La Queena, una vez mas, para hacer lasos entender
The Queena, once again, to make connections understood

Yo, check the story, I thought I was dead (Oh shit)
Listen to the story, I thought I was about to die (Oh shit)

Here comes Ivy, in a black Beemer
Here comes Ivy, driving a black BMW

Pumpin this in my Rivera
Playing this music loudly in my Rivera car

Cast the guns, this ain't salsa
Put away the guns, this is not about salsa dancing

It ain't? That's the Macarena
It's not? That's the Macarena dance

Cause when I looked at the cop badges, I saw no number
Because when I looked at the police badges, I noticed there were no identification numbers

How do I know if he's an imposter?
How can I tell if he is an impersonator?

I'm 'bout to feed him to the lobsters
I am about to hand him over to the mob

And take him shoppin to the Bahamas, and hide with mobsters
And take him shopping in the Bahamas, and hide out with the mob

Ay ? Que a mi me puedan tumbar, ay
Oh? That they can knock me down, oh

Ya yo soy la Reina y te lo vine a demostrar
I am already the Queen, and I came here to prove it to you

Man, libra, que los Latinos son high, high
Man, believe me, Latinos are great, great

Son del medio ?
They are in the middle?

Te digo lo que ?, demuestre lo que doy
Let me tell you something, I prove what I can do

Gracias a Jesus Cristo, siempre tengo el control
Thanks to Jesus Christ, I always have control

Ya lo ves, no sabes, tienes que entender
Now you see, you don't know, you have to understand

La cuidad viene dura, ya ves con Wyclef
The city is tough, as you can see with Wyclef
