[Samples from Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" Played throughout] 
I believe in miracles 
Where you from? 
You sexy thing (you sexy thing, you) 
I believe in miracles 
Since you came along 
You sexy thing 

[Wyclef] 
Uno, dos (check it out), tres, cuatro 
I woke up in a dream, Wyclef and Ivy Queen 
Drinkin with your Hennessey, you spit on Louis the XIII 
I ain't tipsy but see-O-P stopped me 
Cause I'm with Omar, a Puerto Rican with a Lamborghini 
Ole, ole but this ain't a bullfight 
Late at night, I'm gonna bring the fright of Poltergeist 
Looked at me through the shades, 
Tried to play me like a hermit 
I looked at Omar and said, "Yo pass me my gun permit" 

[Ivy Queen] 
Todas las culturas se unen esta vez 
Representando los Boricuas junto a Wyclef 
Queena es mi nombre el original Borinquen 
De tal manera demuestro como, so come again 

[Chorus] 
Yes, Queena, de que es al pa' ahí 
Que no se olvide de qué es la ley 
Vamos celebrar en el tola why va cantando 
why combate lo que me pertenece 

[Wyclef] 
Hey where you from Ivy Queen? 

[Ivy Queen] 
Puerto Rico, One time! 

[Wylcef] 
Hey yo all my thug cats, back to the crime 
Hey where you from Ivy Queen? 

[Ivy Queen] 
Puerto Rico, One time! 

[Samples from beginning] 
[Wyclef] 
He looked at my permit and said, "Get out the car" 
I'm about to bring the earth, wind, and fire life from Shining Star 
Looked at him bizarre, I said, "Hell no" 
The music got tense in a place called el barrio 

[Ivy Queen] 
Representan no de maneras, man 
No hay colo-nias que nos detengan 
La-tinos, vengan, siempre sobresalen 
A los americanos demostrando lo que saben 
Come again, yeah 

[Chorus x2] 
[Wyclef] 
Ivy Queen, there was no one around the street 
Was like ghost town, six cop cars, one black, one Porto Rican 
I ain't a shook one, so I got out the car 
I close my eyes, son, I'm waitin for police to blast one 

[Ivy Queen] 
Te digo lo que ?, demuestro lo que doy 
A (yeah) todos los hermanos habrán pasos te voy 
Que no dejes, que no crees que vengo esta vez 
La Queena, una vez más, para hacer lasos entender 

[Chorus x2] 
[Wyclef] 
Yo, check the story, I thought I was dead (Oh shit) 
Here comes Ivy, in a black Beemer 
Pumpin this in my Rivera 
Cast the guns, this ain't salsa 
It ain't? That's the Macarena 
Cause when I looked at the cop badges, I saw no number 
How do I know if he's an imposter? 
I'm 'bout to feed him to the lobsters 
And take him shoppin to the Bahamas, and hide with mobsters 

[Ivy Queen] 
? ay 
Que a mí me puedan tumbar, ay 
Ya yo soy la Reina why te lo vine a demostrar 
Man, libra, que los Latinos son high, high 
? son del medio ? 
Te digo lo que ?, demostré lo que doy 
Gracias a Jesús Cristo, siempre tengo el control 
Ya lo ves, no sabes, tienes que entender 
La cuidad viene dura, ya ves con Wyclef
