Grown Folks |
| I’m talking to the whole world, and the uneducated fool |
| We always talk about the youth, now let’s talk about you |
| We all have responsibilities |
| Spending hundreds on throwbacks when there’s kids to feed |
| Sometimes you got to let the kids see, just who their father is |
| So they can see, we can’t always wear the cool shoes |
| ‘Cause the kids wanna wear the cool shoes too |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than these children do |
| The fathers are somewhat gangster, and the son is too |
| The mother’s a working lady, but she can’t control the rules |
| The daughter lost her mother, and her father and brother too |
| But she really wants to go to college, do what she needs to do |
| She knows there’s gonna be some debt with this |
| But she got caught up in a bad relationship |
| But her father was nowhere around to hold her hand |
| So she chose a pimp… |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than these children do |
| You got your religion, and I got mine |
| Or maybe you don’t and you’re feeling just fine |
| We all call him different names, but we have all the same sins |
| You know what I’m talking about, but you needed your best friend |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than the children do |
| Help the grown folks |
| They need more help than these children do |
| Help the grown folks (Help them Father God) |
| They need more help than the children do |
| (Father God, help these grown people) |
| Help the grown folks |
| (Sometimes these grown people act worse than their children) |
| They need more help than the children do |
| (They need more help than the children do, that’s true) |
| Help the grown folks (Walk your kids to school) |
| They need more help than the children do |
| (Show your kids that you can be a man) |
| Help the grown folks (So they know how to be children) |
| They need more help than the children do |
| (Let the kids be children while they’re children) |
| Don’t make your kid be a man or your daughter be a lady when she’s only |
| 10-years-old |
| Comb your daughter’s hair, comb your son’s hair |
| Take your son to a baseball game, take your daughter to a basketball game |
| Forget about that big corporate meeting some time |
| Forget about that big vacation |
| If you’re going on a vacation, take your kids with you |
| Don’t leave them with that nanny |
| You never know what that nanny is doing to your kid |
| Forget about that big Beverly Hills mansion |
| Get into your kids |
| Don’t let ‘em shoot that gun, don’t let ‘em take that gun to school… |
