[Wyclef Jean]

Wyclef, chillin with Angie

Live at Jimmy's, worldwide baby

Azuuuu-car!



[Chorus: Wyclef]

Suavemente, be-sa-me

Angie Martinez, can I get a date on Friday?

Suavemente, just when I thought she'd say yes..

Yo, yo, that's when a kid pulled the tec and the whole crowd parted

Why you fuckin up the party before it gets started?



[Angie Martinez]

Ay yo it's Angie

The way I flip it make you switch your shit to plan B

And I'll be dipped out in the club lookin fancy

And we ain't chillin too tough if you ain't family

You mad at me man please I'm chillin low-key

That's why I got my little hat on

In the V.I.P. where everybody high fash-ion

Gettin they mack on, thirsty fo' satisfaction

And it's, bound to happen like latins goin platinum

Now we, in it lookin for the big pesos

And my, song inspired by Elvis Crespo

And we, gettin it started so baby let's go

Nasty boys in the party singin, "Don Cuervoooo!"

Take it easy cause we livin suave

Be bout the +Smooth Operators+ like Sade

"Coast 2 Coast, New York to Chicago

East L.A."



[Chorus]



[Angie Martinez]

Funny how time flies when you gettin drunk (uh-huh)

It's three A.M. and we still ain't had enough (uh-huh)

Bout the time when everybody know whassup

See them niggaz pushin up, now you know they wanna FUCK

See the big pop-pas chasin mu-cha-chas

Whylin out, right right, be like ooh-la-la

But they gets na-da, make me laugh ha-ha

Like HA-HA-HA, HA-HA!

Silly boys in brand new clothes (uh-ha)

Actin up for nothin, puttin on shows (uh-ha)

At the bar, frontin, strikin up a pose

in cubic zircon's like nobody knows, but

it's okay papi, I won't tell (uh-huh)

If they don't know you might as well

do your thang duh-dah-dah-duh-dah

Pero suave yo!



[Chorus - 2X]



[Wyclef]

Suavemente (uh-ha!).. (uh-huh)
