"Selena" lyrics - WYCLEF JEAN

Check it out
Right now if you got problem with the immigration
Please report on the dance floor
True story, I got my green card in my hand right now
Let me see them lighters up in the air
As I reminisce

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I reminisce, I reminisce (here's another one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Things done changed but they stay the same
You can fake that swagga but can't fake the name
'Cause I got the slang to make the chitty bang bang
Bidi bidi bom bom, bidi bidi bom bom

That's when I asked Melissa, "What's that song?"
She said, "That's Selena playing all night long."
I said "Where you from?" She said "Mexico."
We got that bidi bidi bom bom, bidi bidi bom bom

(Bidi bidi bom bom) Oh Selena
(Bidi bidi bom bom) Oh Selena
(Bidi bidi bom) She's got that fire
Americana, raised in America
I wish I had a chance to meet her
(Bidi bidi bom) Selena
I Reminisce, I reminisce

A yo Clef let me get that balia
I'm a shimmy shimmy on just like Selena
Manos arriba reppin latinas
With the bidi bidi bom bom, bidi bidi bom bom

Selena brought pride to a generation
Inspiration is the hope for the immigration
I can still hear your voice echoing through my system
With the bidi bidi bom bom, bidi bidi bom bom

(Bidi bidi bom bom) Oh Selena
(Bidi bidi bom bom) Oh Selena
(Bidi bidi bom) She's got that fire
Americana, raised in America
I wish I had a chance to meet her
(Bidi bidi bom) Selena

And when the heavens open I saw Selia Cruz
I heard her say "Asucar turn this on."
Tito Puente's dressed in white
Playing timbales while the angels sing with Selena

Ay Mama, is your carnival shoes on?
Let's go

Reggaeton breakdown
Parese que va llover
El cielo se esta nulando
Parese que va llover
Ay mamma me estoy mojando

Okay, east coast, west coast, midwest (Presente)
Dirty South Texas (Presente)
Windows stay tinted like a president (Presente)
So drop the gas price Mr.President, yeah

Where the latinos? (Presente)
Itilanos? (Presente)
Carribenos? (Presente)
Africanos? (Presente)
Centro Americanos? (Presente)
Cubanos? (Presente)
Mexicanos? (Presente)

(Bidi bidi bom bom) Oh Selena
(Bidi bidi bom bom) Oh Selena
(Bidi bidi bom) She's got that fire
Americana, raised in America
I wish I had a chance to meet her
(Bidi bidi bom) Selena

Selena forever
For all my immigrants out there
I'mma play that electric guitar, let's go
