Hip’s don’t lie we are fightin’

A few days ago while driving  I heard the song “Hips don’t lie” by Shakira. I did not comprehend many words in the song but I was drawn to it by its beat. By saying “Hips don’t lie” I guess Shakira is trying to tell us that one must trust the intuitive wisdom of our body rather than the “pre-processed” words that come out of our mouths.  I was enjoying the upbeat nature of the song when suddenly Wyclef Jean began talking about the Third World and Fugees. Did I miss something? How does one go from “Hips don’t lie ” to ”We are Fightin?” Someone, please explain!

One response to “Hip’s don’t lie we are fightin’”

    I see what you are saying. The lyrics I get off the net are:

    She’s so sexy every man’s fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
    I go back like when ‘pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
    I need a whole club dizzy
    Why the CIA wanna watch us?
    Colombians and Haitians
    I ain’t guilty, it’s a musical transaction
    No more do we snatch ropes
    Refugees run the seas ’cause we own our own boats

    This is very cryptic to me. Anyone know what this means?
