Wyclef's album was my first
hip-hop purchase since I bought DJ Jazzy Jeff & the

quite an accomplishment for Wyclef, he is very proud of
that fact. Chrissy just bought the single for Gone til November
a few days ago. I wish I could stop hearing that song!

moths or putting boiling water on ants) car wash
(also on sundays) no longer afraid of the dark or midday
shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage or desperate nothing
so childish at a better pace slower and more calculated
no chance of escape now self-employed
concerned (but powerless)an
empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not
idealism)will not cry
in public less chance of illness tires that grip in the
wet (shot of baby strapped
