Raphael Saadiq - The Answer Lyrics
Dream onDream onStop saying the game is sold and not be toldTry to help the child that's only 4 years oldWhy, why would you sit back and relaxAnd watch them kids fall off the tracks?How, how can we sit on the sidelineAnd watch it go downYou, you need to make someone feel really proudRhythm is the key, can't you see?Just don't do it for publicityI, I was the boy in the little pictureAlways asking questionsBut never getting really good answersSo I screamed out loud and saidPlease give 'em the answersGive 'em the answers, they need the answersSome people ask me how is life for meGrowing up in a dark pretty cityIt was scary but life was goodSee in my neighborhoodIn my neighborhood, in my neighborhoodIn my neighborhoodIt's all coming back to me nowSee, when I was growing upThere was a lot of people raising meI didn't know at the timeBut I listened to everything I heardEvery man, every womanEvery teacher, every preacherYes, I listened tooAnd you gotta do the same thingsOh yes, you doMarch to the drums, look all around youHelp somebody find their wayWe gotta show 'em the wayDo it today, show 'em the wayShow 'em the wayDon't let 'em find out the hard wayShow them the wayShow them the way
