RAPHAEL SAADIQ - The Answer lyrics

rate me

Dream on, dream on

Stop, saying again it’s old and I be told

Try to help the child that’s only 4 years old

Why? Why would say back and relax and watch the kids fall off the track

How? How can you sit on the side line and watch it go down

You, you need to make someone feel really proud

Rhythm is the key, can’t you see, just *don't do it for publicity* 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 me?

Growing up in a dark pretty city

It was "scary, but 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 growing up

There was a lot of people raising me

I didn’t know where to turn

But I listened to everything I heard, every man every woman

Every teacher, every preacher, yes I listened to

And you gotta do the same things, oh yes you do

Oh, march to the drums, look all around you

Help somebody find the way, oh yeah

Show them the way, don’t let them find out the hard way

Show them the way.<br />
