Celebrate (feat. Patti LaBelle & Cassidy)

(feat. Cassidy, Patti LaBelle)
 [Wyclef]
 Ladies and gentleman, the preacher's son
 Patti LaBelle is in the building
 [Wyclef]
 Let's celebrate, have a basement party
 A barbeque how we used to do
 On the avenue, have a family reunion
 Man, how I miss those days
 When the kids was kids, no knives on the street
 When the ice cream man came around the way
 Lord, Miss Patti, won't you help me sing
 Lord knows how I miss those days
 [Patti] (Wyclef)
 Dressing up for church on Easter Sunday (how I miss those days)
 Doing the electric slide at every party (how I miss those days)
 Oh, if only you knew, what I've been through (you would celebrate)
 You would celebrate (everybody just celebrate, how I miss those days)
 Get up, you would celebrate (celebrate, everything's gonna be ok, how I miss those days)
 [Wyclef] (Patti)
 I came in this game through the back door (get up)
 I know LaBelle, we were so much more (get up)
 We worked it, and earned it, God knows we deserved it (get up)
 Keep on striving, I know you'll make it

 Cause who ever God blessed no man can test (get up)
 Who ever God blessed, no man can test
 What goes up must surely come down, yes
 So watch who you hurt on your way up
 Cause they'll be laughing at you on your way down
 Tell the judge we don't want incarceration
 Cause we came for the celebration, hey
 So let the women and the children eat first
 Cause it's been so long since a celebration, Cassidy
 [Cassidy] (Patti)
 This Cassidy, let's celebrate (oh)

 And I still got the dog in my backyard
 It's hamburgers, hot dogs in the back row (get up)
 On the grill we cooking it all up

 Man, it feels like back in the days
 When cats wasn't clapping to K's
 And hood rats was acting they age (get up)

 And I cannot be stopped, like I need breaks (get up)
