The Voice (#2)

Tap {repeat throughout song}

Oh yeah

Lord, have mercy

Bang! - A gunshot rings out

13-year-old baby falls 2 the ground

See the killer runnin' down the street

Tell me killer, can U hear the sound?

CHORUS:

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 2 U know who

CHORUS

(Tappin' on my window like a fallin' rain)

(Cryin' like a baby, pick me up)

Can't U hear the voice? (Oh yeah)

The nightsticks are still singin'

4-part harmony on brother's back

Justice is doomed when we don't start no S-H

And there's still some I-T in all of that (in all that)

CHORUS

(Can't U hear it tappin' like a fallin' rain fine-tune cryin' like a baby?)

(Pick me up, pick me up)

Talkin' about the voice, y'all

Can't U see it's just dirty money? (Peace)

If your brother man is dyin' in the flow (Peace)

Take off these chains

And listen 2 the voice callin'

We gotta go, gotta go, hey!

CHORUS

(Oh Lordy, like a fallin' rain)

(Cryin' like a baby, pick me up, pick me up again)

5-4-3-2-1, keep the war over

But how many wanna keep the peace (Peace)

We keep buildin' guns when we could build love (When we need 2 build love)

Cuz that's when the war will cease

U know it, U know it

Can't U hear the voices?

Can't U hear the sound?

Take heed

CHORUS

(Tappin' on my window like a.. like a fallin' rain)

(Cryin' like a baby, pick me up)

Oh yeah (Can't U hear the voice?)

The voice ha ha ha... (Peace)

5-4-3-2-1 Get it!

I've been blessed on death

That I admit a revelation of sorts

Yo, cuz when I was a kid

Fort Knox was the best way 2 describe me

I put a boot in your neck for G.P.

Livin' in a world full of turmoil

I make it cuz I have 2

When inside, my emotions pour

And I'm looking 4 salvation

Trying 2 cleanse my soul

And admit that 2 the nation

And my world -- they give a man his props

Not becuase of the lives he saves

But the bombs he dropps

Then there's the man with the funky grin in a suit

Talking 5 points of light - who's he trying 2 sue?

Can I hear the voice, hear it come

Shout Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Yeah, as I bang the drum

And while some of U wish 2 be spoon fed

Mavis and I will drop the knowledge (Yeah) (Peace)

CHORUS

(Tappin', like a fallin' rain fine-tune)

(Cryin' like a baby, pick me up, pick me up)

(Talkin' 'bout the voice y'all)

(Peace) {repeated}
