Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Hi, yo, yea, yea
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp
L-Boogie up in here
Prazrel (Prazrel up in here! Ha! Ha!)
Lil' Base sits up there on the base (refugees up in here)
While I'm on this I got my girl L one time, one time!
Hey, yo L, you know you got the lyrics!

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him and listened for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times)
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with this song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Yo L-Boy, take it to the bridge

Come on

Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing)
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Strumming my pain
Put your hands
Put your hands for L-Boogie from the Refugee Camp
Refugees up in here
Singing my life with his words
You know how we're doing
L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef
Prazrel
Said, L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef up in here
My man Lil' Base
Prazrel up in here
Jerry one time
We got Warren up in here
Killing me softly with his song
Outside is up in here
Killing me softly with his song
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
My ladies, my ladies up in here
We got up in here

Everybody got a breaking point, kid
And they read on you
The family niggas have read on you
That's why we gotta be prepared
It took way out, need
