(Wyclef as Amadou)
Boy I am so tired
I'll be glad when I get inside the house
Oh, I dropped my keys
Oh what tis bright light?
My God they must gonna rob me
Who these people with them all at they gonna rob me
I'm gonna take out my wallet to make sure
they just get the money
Nothing else.. (')
Oh it's the police (whew)
I feel so much better
I will show them, I have my ID
so they know I am good people
