Raphael Saadiq Lyrics

"The Answer" lyrics


Dream on, dream on
Stop, saying again it's old and I be told
Drop to help the child that's only 4 years old
Why? Why would say back and relax and watch them kids bump off the track
How? How can you sit on the side line and watch it go down
You, you need to make some … feel really proud
Rhythm is the key, can't you see, just a different recipe
I, I was the boy in the little picture, always asking questions but never getting really good answers
So I screamed out loud, I said please give them the answers
Give them the answers, they need the answers

So people asked me how was life for?
Calling up in a dark pretty city
I was … the life was good, see, in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood, in my neighborhood
It's all coming back to me now, see when I was going out
There was a lot of people raising me
I didn't know what to tell
But … to everything I earn, every man every woman
Every teacher, every preacher, yes I listen to
And you gonna do the same things, oh yes you do
Oh, … look all around you, help somebody find the way, oh yeah
Show them the way, don't let them find out the hallway
Show them the way.
