Testo Grown Folks - Raphael Saadiq
Testo della canzone Grown Folks (Raphael Saadiq), tratta dall'album Ray Ray
I'm talkin' to the whole world and the educated fool
We always talk about the youth, now let's talk about you
We all have responsibilities
Spending hundreds on throwbacks, man, these kids are free
Sometimes you got to let the kids see
Just who the father is, so they can see
We can't always wear the cool shoes
'Cause the kids wanna wear the cool shoes too
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than these children do
The father's a somewhat gangster and the son is too
The mother's a workin' lady but she can't control them fools
The daughter loves her mother and her father and brother too
But she really wants to go to college, but what's she to do?
She knows there's gonna be some doubt with this
But she got caught up in a bad relationship
But her father was nowhere around to hold her hand
So she chose the pimp, she's never gonna win
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than these children do
You've got your religion and I've got mine
Or maybe you don't and you're feelin' just fine
We all call 'em different names but we have all the same sins
You know what I'm talkin' about, but you're really jumpin'
Ooh, help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than the children do
Help the grown folks
They need more help than these children do
Help the grown folks (Help 'em, Father God)
They need more help than the children do
Father God, help these grown people)
Help the grown folks (Sometimes these
Grown people act worse than they children)
They need more help than the children do (They
Need more help than the children do, that's true)
Help the grown folks (Walk your kids to school)
They need more help than the children do
Show your kids that you can be a man)
Help the grown folks (So they know how to be children)
They need more help than the children do
Let the kids be children, watch them children)
Don't make your kid be a man or your daughter
Be a lady when she's only ten years old
Comb your daughter's hair, comb your son's hair
Take your son to a baseball game
Take your daughter to a basketball game
Forget about that big corporate meeting sometime
Forget about that big vacation
If you go on a vacation, take your kids with you
Don't leave 'em with that nanny
You never know what that nanny is doin' to your kids
Forget about that big Beverly Hills mansion
Get it to your kids, don't let 'em shoot that gun
Don't let 'em take that gun to school
And I'm not talkin' about the...
