Party to Damascus
Wyclef Jean Lyrics

Me and Clef on this track what you want
Wyclef Jean and his collaborator are performing together and wondering what the audience wants from them

Heard you wanna battle us both I hope you don't
Wyclef Jean has heard that someone wants to challenge them in a battle and hopes they won't do it

Hand me my mic, two woofers in my trunk (huh)
Wyclef Jean is getting ready to perform, asking for his microphone and describing the sound system in his car

Sound like gonk-ga-gonk-ga-gonk-ga-gonk-ga-ga-ga-gonk
He is mimicking the sound of his car's powerful speakers

I drink that Dom Perignon (oh)
Wyclef Jean enjoys drinking expensive champagne

I drink that shot of Petron to turn me on (uh)
He drinks a shot of Patrón tequila to feel energized

I got that red eye bomb, get you stoned (yeah)
He has a potent strain of marijuana that will make you feel high

I got them gunshots, head knock 'til my bed stop
He has powerful beats and sounds that shake your head and make your bed vibrate

Hey, I'm from a place called New Jersey, they call it the New Jersey land

I'm only here for one night girl, I'm on the plane tomorrow

Come in and shut the door (yeah)
He asks her to come in and close the door to start the party

He is ready to start the party and have fun

Baby let me show you, how you can satisfy a girl needs
Wyclef Jean wants to guide her in how to satisfy a girl's desires

In the mornin, in the evenin
He wants to have fun with her at all times of the day

In the nighttime, gotta have it
He especially wants to party with her at night

It's a feelin I can't fight it
He can't resist the urge to party and have fun with her

You got me speakin another language
He is so excited by her that he is speaking in a different accent and style

It's official raise your glasses
He declares that the party is officially starting and suggests they toast to it

Cause this party gonna go to Damascus
He is suggesting that the party will be so good it will travel all the way to Damascus, Syria

Yeah, she said her dad's in the Army and he's the number one sniper
Wyclef Jean has a conversation with the girl and she reveals some information about her dad being a sniper in the army

And if he ever found out, he'd have me swimmin with the fishes in the water
She jokes that if her dad ever found out about them, he would kill Wyclef Jean and dispose of his body by throwing it into the water

Now I'ma say somethin crazy girl, I love you
He confesses his love for her even though they have just met

I know we meetin for the first time in the club, but this feels like a deja vu
He feels like he has already experienced this moment before or that they are meant to be together

W-Y to the Clef

Boy I keep it realer than the titties on my chest (yeah)

How many bombs on my summer, Funk Flex? (uh)
He is asking radio DJ Funkmaster Flex how many hit songs he has been involved in during the summer

As many times as Teddy Reilly said "yep, yep"
