I can't walk down the street 'cause people lookin' at me
|
Like I just robbed the neighborhood Circle K
|
Just mindin' my business, tryin' to make a livin'
|
Takin' it day by day
|
|
Some of the things that I've seen, you just wouldn't believe
|
But I always hold my head up with dignity
|
Can't judge the book by the cover
|
'Cause they don't really even know me, don't know me
|
|
They don't know about the things I be goin' through
|
And they don't know about the pain I be feelin'
|
They don't know about the struggles I be pullin' through
|
And I won't let them get the best of me and my soul
|
|
Excuse me Lord for fussin'
|
Things I do to keep from cussin'
|
How so many people they bug me
|
Goin' around tryin' to judge me
|
|
Like, "Why is he wearin' that dress?"
|
"Why is he talkin' that mess?"
|
"Why is he so into his Africanness?"
|
'Cause I don't wanna settle for less, I know I deserve the best
|
|
They don't know about the things I be goin' through
|
And they don't know about the pain I be feelin'
|
They don't know about the struggles I be pullin' through
|
And I won't let them get the best of me and my soul
|
|
Got a feelin'
|
Said I'm givin'
|
Everything that I've been meanin'
|
Fixin' me
|
|
Can I go now?
|
'Cause what I found
|
Is enough to keep me right
|
Fixin' me
|
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(I can't walk down the street)
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Everybody's lookin' at me)
|
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Tryin' to steal my dignity, yeah)
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(They don't know what I seen)
|
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Tryin' to make a livin')
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Takin' it day by day)
|
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Tryin' to find my own way)
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Tryin' to have a good time)
|
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Tryin' to have a mighty, mighty, mighty good time, yeah, oh)
|
Good God, Almighty
|
(Take away my pain)
|
|
Good God Almighty
|
Good God, good God
|
Good God, good God
|
Good Lord, good Lord
|
|
Walk it off, walk it off now
|
Gotta walk it off, walk it off now
|
Walk it off, walk it off right now
|
Come on and go with me
|
|
We're gonna find a good time
|
Take the trouble and pain off our mind tonight
|
Lemme hear one time
|
Baby this is what I'm sayin'
|
