Lyrics for Citi Soleil

Jean Content, he wake up everyday In a government yard deep down inside Citi Soleil Roll some bones and catch a fire Evil minds they will conspire The moon to lose its light The stars sink into night Hot, hot Across the town a young girl plays guitar (Do you remember me?) She sings to a lover she worships from afar Roll some bones and catch a fire Evil minds they will expire The moon to shine a light upon us all tonight Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, alright, alright Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, alright, alright "How you like me now?" My friend, he say "How you like the madness of Citi Soleil?" Roll the bones and catch a fire Join the triumph of the choir Citi Soleil, Citi Soleil I love to say Citi Soleil Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, alright, alright Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, it's alright, it's alright (It's alright It's alright, ooh) Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, alright, alright Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, alright, alright Ooh child, I'll meet you, child On the sunny side It's alright, it's alright No lies and no cryin' It's alright, alright, alright Ooh child, I'll meet you, child
