Heaven I Need A Hug (Radio Edit)-R. Kelly

[00:00.00] I'm just bein' real, you know [00:01.99] I'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybody [00:04.99] You know what I'm sayin' [00:06.49] But it's like situation after situation, you know [00:09.99] So I write about it to get it off my chest, you heard [00:12.74] Dear mama, you wouldn't believe what I'm goin' through [00:16.49] But still I got my head up just like I promised you [00:19.49] Every since you left, your baby boy's been dealin' with [00:23.49] Problem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to do [00:26.49] See, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this place [00:30.49] Look in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled face [00:33.74] And then my tears roll down and hit the sink, Then I [00:37.49] Hold my head up high, hoping the Man upstairs can hear my cry [00:41.24] All these questions deep inside my mind [00:44.99] Like if Jesus loved me, why he leave my side [00:48.24] Mama, I'm still tryin' to get the answer why [00:52.24] You were young, 45, and you had to die [00:55.74] I'm always tryin' to help people out [00:59.24] And it's them same people tryin' to take food out my mouth [01:02.49] (Fo' real tho') Seems like the more money I make [01:06.24] (Fo' real tho') The more drama y'all try to create [01:09.74] (Fo' real tho') And through I try to move into the positive [01:13.49] (Fo' real tho') The more y'all don't wanna let me live [01:16.99] When will you realize that I don't owe you nothin' [01:20.74] Need to get up off your butt and go get your own somethin' [01:24.49] I'm pullin' on my hair to keep from snappin' off [01:28.24] Fools ride up in my camp and be yappin' off [01:31.74] Somebody out there please pray on what I'm talkin' 'bout [01:35.49] Still young tryin' to figure it out [01:37.99] Heaven, I need a

You smile in my face and tell me that you love [02:11.99] But then before you know the truth, you're so quick to judge me [02:15.74] That's alright, go ahead, keep talkin' [02:19.49] Cause I'mma hold my head up high and keep walkin' [02:23.24] And reach for the sky, focus on the plan [02:26.99] Rescue the ghetto with this paper a pen [02:30.49] And this is for the homies that we lost [02:34.24]
