A dedication to all the refugees worldwide One time Say, say, say I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Brooklyn About solving the crookedness As it mingled with the good people we meet Good friends we had, oh Good friends we've lost Along the way In this great future you can't forget your past So dry your tears, I say I tell my peeps who passed away No woman, no crime No woman, no crime Say, say, say Oh, hey, little sister Don't shed no tears No woman, no crime Say, say, say I remember when we used to rock In a project yard in Jersey And little Georgie would make the fire light As stolen cars passed through the night And then we'd hit the corner store For roots, paper, and roof My Drake's my only remedy For pain of losing family But while I'm gone shorty Everything is gonna be alright Fugees come to the dance tonight Everything is gonna be alright The gunman's in the house tonight But everything is gonna be alright No woman, no crime No woman, no crime Hey, little sister Don't shed no tears No woman, no crime Say, say, say I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Trenchtown Baba Abbas, Sophie, the hypocrites As they mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we had Good friends we've lost Along the way In this great future you can't forget your past So dry your tears, I say And no woman, no crime No woman, no crime Say, say, say Hey, little sister Don't shed no tears No woman, no crime I tell my peeps to pass the wave
