"Knockin' On Heaven's Door" lyrics - WYCLEF JEAN

I remember playin' my guitar in the projects
Playin' in the PJ's
A product of the environment
Pour some liquor for those who passed away
I told my mom I'ma get up out of da hood
Mama
My dad taught me the American dream, baby
You can be anything that you wanna be
If I did it y'all could do it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama, take these guns away from here
Mama, I can't shoot them anymore
Cease fire
I feel a dark cloud coming over
So poor, so dark
It feels like I'm knockin' on the heaven's door

To Biggie Smalls and Tupac
Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
Hip hop
To Freaky Ty and Big Heavy
Lost boy
Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
Yeah
And to the Princess Aaliyah
We're knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
To my brother Big Pun
Terror Squad
We're knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Would someone take these guns away from here
Take these guns from the street, Lord
I can't shoot my brothers anymore
I seen a thug cry
I feel a dark cloud coming over me
Over me
It feels like
It feels like I'm knockin' on the heaven's door
So sing along street children

We're knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
And to my daddy that passed away
Rest in peace
Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
To the god, Fred Jordan, we're
And put the Fugees on
Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
To my people doin' time
We're
Locked up
Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door

Crypts 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 silence
Whoa
We're knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
To my people in the Twin Tower
We're knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
And to my soldiers in the Pentagon
We're knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's door
New York
New York
New York
New York
New York
Mama
To my people in the streets
I'm talkin' to you now
Please put down your heat
Oh Lord
To my brothers that's on the corner
Oh God
Ay get out quick or you too will be knockin' on heaven's door
