Wyclef Jean = Big Fan of CY

Thought this was cool. Wyclef Jean is a fan of City Year. He's here in this video at a concert for City Year folk doing a Bob Marley Jam session. He breaks into freestyle about City Year. The lyrics he says are below the link.

City Year, you’re doing a good job
I feel inspired, when I hear your stories
You’ve dedicated your lives so you can help others
Fulfill their possibilities, and don’t forget
To live for yourself is so selfish
But to live for others is your benediction
So City Year, here’s my benediction to you
Cause you have lived for others
The good Lord will bless you

May he guide you, like he guided Abraham
May he guide you, like he guided Moses
May he guide you, like he guided Isaac
There ain’t no wall, that you can’t break through
City Year, there ain’t no mountain too high, that you can’t climb
There ain’t no river wide, that you can’t cross

So let me tell you C-I-T-Y Y-E-A-R, you’re my superstar
C-I-T-Y Y-E-A-R, you’re my superstar
Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah
Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah
Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah
Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah, Oh-ah

And I ain’t have nothing written
This is just lyrics, that’s coming from my mind
But it’s inspired from he who is devine
And it’s taken an inspiration to your lives
So let the children come
For they are the blessing of the world
So that you keep teaching the kids
Cause they are the blessing of the world

I know Crips, and I know Bloods
And I know Esses, I know Latin Kings
And I know child soldiers
And every time I meet them
They say Wyclef things would be different
If they gave us a little love

So you keep spreading the love City Year
You keep spreading the love City Year
You keep spreading the love City Year
We gonna take it into the new year

You keep spreading the love City Year
You keep spreading the love City Year
You keep spreading the love City Year
It’s gonna be a new year.
