WAY OUT

All the brothers and sisters.

Scared to be themselves.

All of them living in fear.

Let me be their way out.

(I...) I don't remember went it happened ya know?

Six o clock livin and it came in ya know.

A kiss on the lips n it didn't take back.

Looked like a miss but he came back.

Winter came and stormed like rain.

I saw her face and he said my name.

Mister please, just look my way.

Pay attention to me, this is what I say.

Poetry, don't put it to shame.

Expressed myself n the rest came.

Lyrics, bless yourself with no name.

Sang my best n yo the rest came.

Flashy light on the big T.V.

Fed an image of what to be.

Sexy men on the screen.

Small women, not what it be.

I loved her but didn't I know.

The lessons centuries ago.

Don't say ya love her till ya know.

What he looks like when she alone.

I couldn't say it, not in the breeze.

A different flavor, it not for me.

But the thing kept bumpin.

And my heart started jumpin.

By the way, I became somethin.

Love in the air.

It ain't fair.

Born a flare.

Prince of Bel Air.

Be yourself ya know.

Just be in the know.

You gotta just live.

Till it ain't no mo.

All the brothers and sisters.

Scared to be themselves.

All of them living in fear.

Let me be their way out.
