The Voice

Lyrics

Lord, have mercy Bang! – A gunshot rings out 13-year old baby falls to the ground See the killer runnin' down the street Tell me killer, can you hear the sound? Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again Ching! – Mr. Politician goes on vacation Brings along a friend or 2 In the disguise of taxes Mr. Politician (sends) sends the bill to you know who Tap, tap, tappin' on my window like a fallin' rain (Oh, tappin' on my window like a fallin' rain) Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again (Cryin' like a baby, pick me up) Can't you hear the voice? (Oh yeah) The nightsticks are still singin' 4-part harmony on brother's back Just is doomed when we don't start no S-H And there's still some I-T in all of that Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain (Can't you hear it tappin' like a fallin' rain fine-tune cryin' like a baby?) Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again (Pick me up, pick me up) I'm talkin' about the voice, y'all Ha, suky, suky now Sho'mon (Tap) Sho'mon (Tap) Help me here (Tap) Tappin' (Tap) Tappin', tappin', ha ha (Tap) Tap on it, tap on it (Tap) (Tap) Can't you see it's just dirty money With your brother man dyin' in the flow? Take off these chains (Tap) (Tap) And listen to the voice callin' (Tap) We gotta go, we gotta go (Tap) (Tap) Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain (Oh yeah, like a baby) Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again (Cryin' like a baby, pick me up, pick me up) 5-4-3-2-1, keep the war over (Tap) But how many wanna keep the peace? (Tap) (Peace) (Tap) We keep buildin' guns when we could build love (Tap) (When we need to build love) Cuz that's when the war will cease You know it, you know it (Tap) (Tap) Can't you hear the voices? (Tap) (Tap) Can't you hear the sound? (Tap) Take heed, get your house in order (Tap) Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain (Tappin', tappin' like a…like a fallin' rain) Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again (Cryin' like a baby, pick me up, pick me up) Sighin' like a woman on fire When she's ready for some of your love (Born ready for all of your love) The voice is just a-steady calllin' (The voice is callin') Until you give in, until you give up
