Wyclef Jean - Bubblegoose Lyrics
[Intro: (1st half sung, 2nd half spoken)]
When I was young, Mama played a guitar
A microphone and she said I'd go far
She said, "Just keep all the lyrics hardcore"
Hey kids, gather around, it's Wyclef and Melky Sedeck
I got a story to tell, heeeeeeere we go
[Chorus: (sung)]
Sit right back and hear a tale of a hustler 'round my way
He used to clock around the block from where my grandma stayed
Black BMW with rims to match, windows bulletproof
One night, he jumped out the car
He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
You can be at the party gettin' loose
But you can catch a bullet in your bubblegoose
[Verse 1:]
Hey yo, hey yo, my pen's in my hand, what should I write next?
Oh yeah, and if you don't know, success brings stress
I'm vexed, my phone rings, collect call from Jeff
The operator say, "If you accept, say yes"
"Yes, what's the deal, son?"
"Yo, I got bad news"
Yo, by the tone of his voice, I heard the ill street blues
"The friends will make you, then too can break you
They plan an execution like Fu Man Chu"
"Who?"
"You know the character from channel 5 kung-fu (wahoo)"
"Slow down, man, Jeff, I'm losin' you"
"Hey yo, your cousin Rohann..."
"Uh-huh"
"Who used to sell bang"
"Uh-huh"
"DT's found his hand in the back of Binnigans..."
"What?"
"In a plastic bag with a note attached"
"Saying what?"
"A million and a half or he won't be back"
"So meet me by the Brooklyn Bridge, 12:00 sharp"
"If not, at the funeral, you gotta play the harp"
Yo, why they wanna start and make me play my part?
Don't they know like Sting, I can turn this murder into art?
I jumped into my car, there's gotta be a joke
Traffic's backed up, who's in town, the Pope?
S-s-s-s-someone blew the horn, I turned and looked left
To my surprise, it was my sis, Melky Sedeck
[Repeat chorus]
[Verse 2:]
You're shootin' in the opposite position
I'm thiniin', "Should I fire or hold back on ammunition
On your wig transition?"
My mission, like Take 6, is to spread love
But all you screwed mugs got me wearin' black gloves
You up in my face, I see the fear in your eyes
You wanna feel the pain like a grown man gettin' circumcised
Shalom, shalom, pardon my left
But my right hand's on your throat, massaging you to death
You provoke the cycle, call Michael
You're lookin' in the mirror, well, I'm in your window, oh oh
You hear me Urkel, your blood will turn purple
Like the colour, you holler, ballin' for your mother
No-one hears you even though you knock
You used to walk around the block with the daily rock
Things done changed since your spark got hot
Now you got your knot wocked with your very own glock
[Chorus 2:]
Sit right back and hear a tale of a hustler 'round my way
He used to clock around the block from where my grandma stayed
Black BMW with rims to match, windows bulletproof
One night, he jumped out the car
and caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
You can be witcha girl gettin' loose
But you can catch a bullet in your goose
He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose
You can be at the party gettin' loose
But you can catch a bullet in your goose

You Can be at the store buying juice and still catch a bullet in your bubblegoose
All the skits are funny except the rape one.
He is telling the truth!!!!
"abstract thought"
You Can Hear Canibus In The 2nd Verse ✍🏾
collect call from jeff...
I remember my parents had this album back when I was a kid! This album STAYED on heavy rotation in my house! This was my favorite song from the carnvial!! We wore this CD the fuck out!! So many memories!!
I love this! I am a South Park fan, but this original WyClef version sounds and feels nicer to me.
LUV THIS SONG !!!
Haitian folksong.
When the acoustic kicks in with the background my heart sails.
This song hit the hardest in my car with a 15'
his best solo album
jham4745 💯
The King is back
My mission, like take-6, to spread love. But all you screw mugs got me wearin' black gloves.
That loop tho 3:05...my area code ..
love it
Man 'Clef snapped on this!! This takes me back to my childhood! Thanks for posting this fam! 😎
9th grade getting it in to this shit...jump off the porch and into the streets with this album
one of my greatest ❤
Why does this sound so different from the version on Chef Aid? I thought it'd be the same song but without the boys singing.
Dorka Dork I think the Chef Aid version will always be the preferable one, it just has a better feel and energy to it.
mac 10!
NOSTALGIA 🔥🔥🔥
melchizedek the high priest
Don't They Like Sting I can turn This Murder Into Art Ha Ha
Still Playing This Shit 2016 Respect WyclefJean
he mightve stole money from a charity but man can he write a song
Harry J Anslinger 😂😂😂😂😂I shouldn't be laughing at that. But most charities are corrupt and a tax write-off for the rich. It's sad really he makes great music but yeah he ain't shit for that.
you could be at the party getting loose but you can catch a bullet in your bubble goose! lol 😂
I'd love to hear Tribe rap over this lol
I still like the south park version better
Well, the SP one is more melodic, and the singing fits better with the music.....
I like this version better!
They're both great songs
reminds me of drivin to the Jerz Shore back in the Day with my family, Jenkinson's at Pt Pleasant, mid late 90s!!!
love the end of the song..
It feels like a Tribe beat. Dope song, I forgot how good he was.
this is still amazing
what ever the case real hip hop
nice song i think it is a haitian folksong
Really? If you could tell me more that'd be great. I play guitar and would love to find out that folksong
Hey, anymore information on this?
found out a bubblegoose is a down jacket that looks like bubbles
😂 Better late than never man. I often wonder how many messages get missed in hip hop by those that don't follow the slang.
lol .. My boys Mom used to bring them back from NYC and sell them to all of us in the neighborhood back here in PA
@Shang Tsung Lol
Been listening since day dot but still no nearer to finding out what a 'bubblegoose' is ??
its a coat
A jacket filled with goose down feathers.
Jay Smack like a North face.
When i was young this song i played every friday night before i go out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maaaaaaack 10!!!
MACK 10
PKSkyler Mac 10 lmao
_Dammit, Cartman, this is not MAC 10!!_ [=8
MMMMMMMMAC 10!!!!!!!!!!!
Shout out to Cartman
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This song brings back every good memory iv'e ever had of being a teenager.
Jesus. So real. Being a 13 y/o listening to this on my CD player walking to school. This joint brings back so many memories, b
+Dante Goodman Same thing for me! I bought this back in late 97 when I was in the 5th grade. I use to carry a walkman bumping this in class.
I was a bit younger when this album came out but I listened to it a lot when I was like 9 or 10
bubble good #1.
explicit mc fb
good original shit
Clef is a genius.
Most people don't realize that Clef is responsible for Beyonce. He remixed a Destiny Child song that wasn't making any noise...and made it a hit.
Jam War To day he was “responsible” for Beyoncé is quite a stretch
Jam War facts.
I didn’t know that Beyoncé fact (thanks for the info) but IMO this album alone solidified his genius. I’ve said for yrssssssssssss the exact same thing. Awesome to know someone else sees his genius.
#Salute
Facts! He did for Destiny's Child what Salaam Remi did for The Fugees with that Nappy Heads remix...and who coincidentally produced this joint...
@Dante Goodman he did put destiny's child on the map
JAY Z , KAYNE WEST, EMINEM TEM QUE CHUPAR MUITO O WYCLEF PRÁ SABER O QUE É RAP
HAPPY 45th BIRTHDAY to WYCLEF JEAN!
Happy 45 birthday wyclef of the fugees
I came to hear an old skool rap song I used to bang hard back in the 11th grade! Had no idea about the South Park version until reading comments. After listening, South Park version is funny and cool, but this by far is the better version! Classic!!!!
Still luv this
I like all those sound
Classic album. I had this tape in high school.
wyclef best Album best track ever..Alot of people slept of Clef for unknown reason but he's cool and I like his music and beats..Even Canibus 1st album was dope to me..Slept on Wyclef
sleep on wyclef? he is not dead
Lol.. Didn't even know South Park had a version. Kids these days.
i actually heard that version way before this version
Kids these days? dude that was like classic south park, we're talking late 90's ha
Always had love for this album.. Bubblegoose still hot 17 years later.
Anthony Perkins real talk. I remember borrowing this record from a buddy when i was a little kid back in the 90s and damn, now i'm 33 & this shit is still hot as fuck.
Excellent
South Park brought me here!
i like the south park version better
3:07 till end is just so sick
Classic Wyclef guitar steeze. I admire him as a producer because he actually plays the guitar and composes beats off his guitar progressions
Yeah, man that part just gets me. That was genius. Clef is the best
It just shows, you can have all the technology in the world, but nothing sounds quite like an acoustic guitar
Ahem........MAC-10
please producer let real artist create real music like this!
goosedown lining maybe?
Tune!!!!!
someone plz hook me up with the beat!
chill and lisannn!!
SOUTH PARK IS BETTER
FOUND ITTT ,..,.GOO WYCLEF JEAN!!!! YEAAAAHHH
I remember my friend gave me this cd back in high school. He was all hating on it cuz they all wanted to listen to three six mafia and shit. I rocked this album and thought most of the tracks were good, this one being one of my favorites.
I love the ending!!!
i just realized that this song is about 2pac
A very large winter coat. Usually made from goose feathers. They look like large bubbles. :)
i didnt even hear the southpark shit, but this shit is classic, been my shit since i was a teenager , oh the memories
Classic. takes me back to Tokyo in 97'.Love when guitar hook comes in.
used to lay rock as a mason to this. yeah.
@drzzo33 Classic for real. I don't even bother with that South Park version.
i honestly cant listen to the south park one because this one is way too good for them to even get a version.
AIME BAGAY CA OUWWWW
@footandmouth14 Agreed! South park version is good too, but those pitched south park voices just ruins it. I cant hear it through cause it gives me headache!
3 people caught a bullet in their bubblegoose.
@icalledherjanet I kinda agree but I got to say that this is weirder than the South Park version but its still good.
In other words the song's played with a drastically different key, different lyrics, a different key, and many other things in this version of the song and there is a more "experimental" vibe to the song altogether.
What I don't get is how they got the Chef Aid version of "Bubblegoose" from remixing this song. Sounds like they added the kids' voices to the chorus, used the same verse of the song with different words, and featuring a different key. And there is also the section where the chorus is sung at a higher key
it's fuckin sad when people only know this from south park! I didn't even know anything about the south park version til now. THis CD was a classic in my book. Creative as fuck!!
i like the south park version better but this shit is pretty tight too
@smoothrasin
lol....sorry to hear about your leg. =[ But for me it was this album or Busta Rhymes The Coming. =D
it's hard to believe this came out in 97 .. seemed like it was later but that sounds about right. I was playing league basketball around that time....one of my warm up tunes.
Ultimate. Represents an era of Hip-Hop that I miss like a lost loved-one. Hopefully, I will see its return in my lifetime.
man these fools don't know shit about hip hop but they wanna comment man this a classic wyclef track man it will always be tight to me the 90's had some of the tightest rap that hit the air thats just me that south park is some lame shit.
@haven0202
you're outta your mind and probably a 4th grader...
SOUTHPARK VERSION IS WAY BETTER!
This is horrible!!!!! South Parks version is so much better
south park version is much better!!!
definitely better than the south park version
FREE SUP-D
Sounds creepy, maybe because I'm so used to the South Park version
