We Wanna Know

Lyrics

[THOUGHTS] We wanna know What's going on in New York We wanna know What's going on in your life With people, they live in any which-a-way And to heck with what the B-I-B-L-E say We wanna know What's going on in New York We wanna know If you've been chasing your dream Cause after what me and your dad went through To send your Black booty to NYU It appears you just been runnin' around Without any direction Without any direction [USHER] Without any direction [THOUGHTS] If that's what you really wanted to do Then why ain't you just stay here? [THOUGHT, spoken] Cause you're selfish! [THOUGHTS] Every time we call you up you just claim That you done made some connection [THOUGHT, spoken] You so full of doo-doo your eyes is brown! [THOUHGTS] You can lie to yourself if you want But you can't lie to me, dear You runnin' around here with that MFA So now you gonna write me a gospel play? [THOUGHT, spoken] Like Tyler Perry! [THOUGHT, spoken] Cause Tyler Perry writes real life! [THOUGHT, spoken] Tyler Perry knows how to bring everything together with all the stories, and all the singing, and all the different people talking- [THOUGHT, spoken] And Tyler Perry don't never forget to bring in the spiritualities [THOUGHT, spoken] Cause Tyler Perry loves his mama! [THOUGHT, spoken] And the Lord! [THOUGHT, spoken] So write a nice, clean, Tyler Perry-like gospel play for your parents, please? [THOUGHT, spoken] It's the least you could do after all the love we done gave - And all the money we done come off of - [THOUGHT, spoken] Unless you just don't love your mama [THOUGHT, spoken] Or the Lord
