(Phone Rings) 

[Phone Voice Sample] 
If you'd like to make a call, dial your operator 
If you need help, try, try again 
Try, try again 

[Wyclef Jean] 
I got it started to my face 
I got it started to my face, right? 
What you thought, there wasn't gonna be no retaliation? 
Ha, ha, ha 
You gotta be kiddin'! 
You call my name four times on a record? 
Heh, heh! 

(Phone Rings) 

[Phone Voice Sample] 
If you need help, try, try again

[Wyclef Jean] 
Yo, "Return of Jack the Ripper," what? Nigga please 
I'ma push you further back than your hairline recedes 
New York City, don't get it confused 
Your song will last as long as your part in "Krush Groove" 
Body moves, the battles, bullets, the lesson 
You write about being a veteran, but not a legend 
Back from the war with thirty-two medals of honor 
You claimin' underground but never been to Bobbito the Barber 
Gimme them medals back, since you forgot how to rap 
Call DJ Bobcat and ask him where them old records at 
Like Channel Five karate, my kick is gonna reach ya 
A new episode where the student kills the teacher 
Any last words before I send you to your dream? 
Hold my hands and pray 
[lyrics in Creole] 
You don't got knowledge yourself 
So you don't know what that mean, a'ight? 
Who suped you up to do the record in the first place? 
It lacked taste, you get "The Gas Face" like 3rd Bass 
L.L. stands for Lickin' Lee, or Lickin' Limey 
Lickin' Lyles, Lickin' Labels, lickin' they balls 
Under the conference room table 
When you hear this record, you bound to go AWOL 
I worked too hard, for this life is serious 
This ain't bulls-eye, I ain't your target practice 
So call Mr. Martin, I rarely kill often 
But in this sound clash, I got a bodybuilder's coffin 
Back from Miami where your record got no heat 
That's why your Def Jam interns call it "Battle of the Beats" 
You're weak nigga!

Yo, this my question 

[The Product] 
What's your question? 

[Chorus] 
What's Clef got to do with this, got to do with this? 
What's Clef? 
I'm not a Bob Marley impostor 
What's Clef got to do with this, got to do with this? 
Tell your ghost writers, "Go write something better" 

(Phone Rings)

[Wyclef Jean] 
Guess who? Uh-oh, uh-oh 
Here we go-o, uh-oh 
Every two records you do scenario 
You get the best MCs, how? To rhyme first 
Of course you rap last, so you can show off your skirt 
I guess it didn't work on "4 3 2 1" 
You got out done by Canibus the young gun 
Your last weapon, is to call out Wyclef Jean 
Not knowing that you callin' fire for your cremation 
Jammin' and cool, sumpthin' like you 
Jamaicans say, "L.L. a fool" 
Kids wet too who do the pool 
Let bells ring like Sunday school 
L.L. Cool J is hard as hell? 
So hard at night he's Jezebel 
I heard the teller, Himmemel 
How you think he wrote the song? 
Rock the bells! 

[The Product] 
Yo, Clef 
I know you got styles, but get back to the issue kid 
This is real! 

[Wyclef Jean] 
Yo, don't get me angry, like the Hulk, I'll turn green 
Your marriage is a cover up, 'cause you use Vaseline 
Fun love of hip-hop, these lyrics got you steamed 
Knowing damn well that bad men don't wear g-strings 
Another side of Clef, the face you won't seein' oppressed 
I even got the Devil worshippers sayin', "God bless" 
You star struck, and I'ma buck you like Carlito 
And when they say, "Who did it?," you tell them Benny Blanco 
Wyclef, preacher's son, check the revelation 
Polygram buy Def Jam for twenty million 
MCA buy Polygram for eleven billion 
I come to Sony and get pimped by the Haitian-Sicilians 
And I'll even, get you an ad in "The Source" 
You'll be the first rapper selling products for hair loss 
The W-why-see-L-E-F, Wyclef 
The return of Jack the Ripper was only to meet his death 
The next time, you want to dis me for kicks 
Get off my dick, go somewhere and lick your lips, bitch! 

(Phone Rings) 

[Phone Voice Sample] 
If you need help, try, try again 
Try again 

[The Product] 
Rest in peace! 

[Chorus] 
What's Clef got to do with this, got to do with this? 
What's Clef? 
I'm not a muscle man impostor 
What's Clef got to do with this, got to do with this? 
Watch what you ask for, 'cause you just might get it 

[Naomi Campbell] 
Yo, this is Naomi Campbell chillin' with Wyclef 
I just want to tell you L.L., your record is wack 
L.L., why don't you just give up? 

(Phone Rings) 

[Phone Voice Sample] 
If you need help, try, try again 
Try again 
If you need help, try, try again 
Try, try again
