Due Me A Favour

Текст песни Kardinal Offishall - Due Me A Favour

Yo, it's like speedin' down the highway with a blindfold on
No hands on the wheel, hopin' God will lead me my way
And I know He will, so my grandma safe
But I feel the sweat from the sun 'cause I work construction
I gotta take care of my son, I got one in the oven on the way
Rent's late two months and my landlord talk too much
Hands full of calluses and I still got the magic touch
To make wifey blush, I been workin' it out since a high school crush
Foot's on the clutch, mind's on my money but my money ain't there
But I will not resort to welfare, I can't stop, won't stop
Couldn't even do it if I tried, if I said I did it I lied, let's ride

I need a favor tonight
More than heaven knows, I need a favor tonight
I need a favor tonight
Could God do me a favor?
I could really use a favor
Could I get it tonight?
I need a favor tonight
More than heaven knows, I need a favor tonight
I need a favor tonight
Could God do me a favor?
I could really use a favor
Could I get it tonight?

No Christmas here, I'm takin' time and a half, gotta make that cash
Even if a nigga gotta drive that cab
I'ma treat it like a limo, didn't know? You better ask
Somebody told me closed mouths don't eat
Closed eyes may never ever see it
So I try with everything I got to not sleep
And it's hard to run if at first you don't creep
After work, took the long way home
See a lot of whips dipped out in chrome
Thinkin' 'bout a house, but I can't get a loan
So I daydream on my way back to my zone
Thinkin' how my son look when he full grown
Will he be raised right or another street clone?
Everything I know, God knows, gotta show him
And let him know he is not alone, keep on

I need a favor tonight
More than heaven knows, I need a favor tonight
I need a favor tonight
Could God do me a favor?
I could really use a favor
Could I get it tonight?
I need a favor tonight
More than heaven knows, I need a favor tonight
I need a favor tonight
Could God do me a favor?
I could really use a favor
Could I get it tonight?

It's like I'm drownin' in the world of failure
But I can't stop 'til my suits are tailored
Where I live I can't trust my neighbors
Some only trust in their Lord and Savior
I gotta believe in the fact that he must want better for us
Like Young C, gotta do it for us
My car broke down, F the bus, F the mayor, F the city
Laws are unjust, it's like why do I try
When I feel I'm gonna die without a tear left in my eye?
I work the hardest, see the least
It's like cultivating the harvest, not seein' the feast
I don't wanna get philosophical, go too deep
I have faith but I'm afraid to take the leap
Most of what I know, I know holds me back
Stead of learnin', I want that 'Lac, come on

I need a favor tonight
More than heaven knows, I need a favor tonight
I need a favor tonight
Could God do me a favor?
I could really use a favor
Could I get it tonight?
I need a favor tonight
More than heaven knows, I need a favor tonight
I need a favor tonight
Could God do me a favor?
I could really use a favor
Could I get it tonight?

Tonight, do it tonight
Tonight, do it tonight
Tonight, do it tonight
Tonight

Yo, cuz
Yo
Why you takin' me to the water, B?
I mean, shit is peaceful, it's like real romantic
You know I ain't into that shit, right?
Come on, nigga
Aight, cool, you know what I mean?
'Cause you know, nigga, I keep it hood, nigga
Yeah, yeah, all day, nigga
I mean, real talk, I ain't really wanna
Come up here to fuck with you, like
But you a cool nigga, B
You a cool nigga, B
You alright, stupid
But like, for real
Yeah
Like, you take me to the club
And you don't fuck with none of the hoes
And there's bad bitches up here in Toronto
I mean, for real
How many times I gotta tell you to stop callin' them bitches, yo?
Listen
There won't be bitches like this in Harlem, know what I mean?
Yeah, I know
But, um, yo, man, you don't even kick
Me no hot, like, no exclusive shit
You don't kick no lyrics to me, man
I mean, like, what is it?
Like, what you tryna show me, man?
Got some lyrics? Aight, listen to this shit

Some of my friends are terrorists
Some of my friends deal crack and I am not okay with this
Some niggas I know only back me because I rake dough like a gardener
Fuck it, I work harder
I don't like most hip-hop out
There's a secret society of niggas who wanna shout
Turn that bullshit off, I should shut my mouth?
Next thing you know, I ain't welcome down south of the border
I don't believe in turfs or a section
I believe in community, where anybody can walk good without protection
I believe that Dilla was the number one dude in rap
Whether on the slaps or the haikus, I spite you for not givin' it up
Fuck what that nigga say, nigga, give it up
Why black people act like little kids?
Make mad excuses when they know what it is
Be like them white folks, invest that shit
Instead niggas is clownin' on the red carpet
Showin' my niece that a million on the neck is the hot shit
It's bloodclaat disrespect
And growin' up poor don't make you ignorant
Act your age, don't act your pigment
Race to the top, don't let your race stop you from revolution
Open your mouth and bust shots, read books
Young niggas say hello, screwfaces are fuckery
We know your spine's jello
Spit what you been through, spit what you know
And don't waste my time, fuck your demo, ya heard?

There you go with that knowledge shit, nigga
That shit was hot, stop frontin'
