R. Kelly - Heaven, I Need A Hug Lyrics
I'm just bein' real, you knowI'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybodyYou know what I'm sayin'But it's like situation after situation, you knowSo I write about it to get it off my chest, you heardDear mama, you wouldn't believe what I'm goin' throughBut still I got my head up just like I promised youEvery since you left, your baby boy's been dealin' withProblem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to doSee, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this placeLook in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled faceAnd then my tears roll down and hit the sink, Then IHold my head up high, hoping the Man upstairs can hear my cryAll these questions deep inside my mindLike if Jesus loved me, why he leave my sideMama, I'm still tryin' to get the answer whyYou were young, 45, and you had to dieI'm always tryin' to help people outAnd it's them same people tryin' to take food out my mouth(Fo' real tho') Seems like the more money I make(Fo' real tho') The more drama y'all try to create(Fo' real tho') And through I try to move into the positive(Fo' real tho') The more y'all don't wanna let me liveWhen will you realize that I don't owe you nothin'Need to get up off your butt and go get your own somethin'I'm pullin' on my hair to keep from snappin' offFools ride up in my camp and be yappin' offSomebody out there please pray on what I'm talkin' 'boutStill young tryin' to figure it outHeaven, I need a hugIs there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thugFeelin' like a change of heartAnd all I really need is a sign or a word from GodSo shower down on me, wet me with your loveI need you to take me and lift me up, oh, yeahI gave 13 years of my life to this industryHit song or not, I've given all of meYou smile in my face and tell me that you loveBut then before you know the truth, you're so quick to judge meThat's alright, go ahead, keep talkin'Cause I'mma hold my head up high and keep walkin'And reach for the sky, focus on the planRescue the ghetto with this paper a penAnd this is for the homies that we lostYo', we cannot forget y'all, so the hats come offPour a little liquor out for the memoryI know y'all up there sittin' on chrome in them pearly streetsStreet survivors, be careful, stay aliveI'm prayin' for your families, I hope you pray for mine(Fo' real tho') Used to be a time you wished me well(Fo' real tho') It hurts to know you wanna see me fail(Fo' real tho') And don't forget I kept you out ofjail(Fo' real tho') Was my arms when you needed to be heldThey turn they backs on you, who was there believin'Who said your troubles were only for a seasonIn church together tryin' to pick up all the piecesAnd now you betray me, I bind you in the name of JesusSomebody please pray on what I'm talkin' 'boutStill young tryin' to figure it all outHeaven, I need a hugIs there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thugFeelin' like a change of heartAnd all I really need is a sign or a word from God(Please shower down)So shower down on me, wet me with your love (Yeah)I need you to take me and lift me up (Oh...oh...yeah, yeah, yeah)Man, I tell you it's enough to make you wanna give it upThank God for my fans 'cause through it all they showed loveTo my sister and two brothersTell me why can't we just try to get along with one anotherInstead of hurtin' one another, fightin' one anotherMan, I pray to God He'd get my family back togetherLet me see what I wanna see, just to blind meAll of these luxuries, wine and diningAnd then You push me out in front to get behind meThen You set me up by blessin' me to bind meI'm a grown man with kids now, stakes are higherGotta go to church now to avoid the fireFrankly, y'all to keep it real, I'm just tiredDreams of bein' dead, but the devil is alive(Fo' real tho') Church folks, you need to stop judgin'(Fo' real tho') Cause you will be the first to be judged(Fo' real tho') And women stop dependin' on us men(Fo' real tho') And start dependin' on the Man above, feel meAnd as for robert, here's what I need to doGet rid of them clowns and get myself a whole nother crewMedia, do your jobBut please just don't make my job so hardSomebody please pray on what I'm talkin' 'boutI'm still young tryin' to figure it all outHeaven, I need a hugIs there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thugFeelin' like a change of heartAnd all I really need is a sign or a word from GodSo shower down on me (Shower down on me now), wet me with your loveI need you to take me (Please) and lift me up, yeah,yeah (Said I'm callin' on heaven)Heaven, I need a hugIs there anybody out there willin' to embrace a
