All The King’s Men

[Intro: Blu]

Uh, uh

[Chorus: Blu]

We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow

And we hope that we can make it rain, but they say it's only for—

[Verse 1: Blu]

See, life can be a bitter man's hell, but life can make a bitter man change

I done seen out old dogs learn new tricks, the trade

Yet still, I've seen an old soul grow cold

In the middle of summer, under the scorching sun

Waiting for winter and the beginning of spring

Lonely is the lady that left to learn love's not a season that's passed, but a brand new fling

Singing as we spin on this merry-go-round

Dizzy from the ups, downs

Pulling us side to side, choosing the rights and wrongs based on lies and facts

And the fiction that we living, as simple as that

What happened?

[Pre-Chorus: Blu]

Where did love go? We want more

And does it take dough to get it? (No)

Then why the poor folks ain't living in it, yo?

They say it's only for—

[Chorus: Blu]

We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow

And we hope that we can make it rain, they say it's only for—

We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow

And we hope that we can make it rain in hopes that it'll reach your soul

[Verse 2: TiRon]

Fresh out of school, gotta get that bread

Pay bills 'til you get out of debt

And after that, get a place somewhere on the westside

Or maybe downtown right next to a high-rise

Then meet a lady with a laidback soul

A good sense of humor you can shack up with

And if you clip, that's when you slide her the ring and then hop the broom

Then after the honeymoon, everything seems different

'Cause she wants kids and a crib to put 'em in

And you wanna chill with your friends that could've been

Should've been but ain't, can't quite get it together

And she can't stand that, but you like, "Whatever"

And you never see it coming

But you got a bun cooking in the oven

In a couple months, you gon' be a daddy

Then push, out pops the seed that you planted

Even though it wasn't planned, you're still Black 'cause that's—

[Pre-Chorus: Blu]

Where did love go? We want more

And does it take dough to get it? (No)

Then why the poor folks ain't living in it, yo?

They say it's only for—

[Chorus: Blu]

We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow

And we hope that we can make it rain, they say it's only for—

We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow

And we hope that we can make it rain in hopes that it'll reach your soul

[Outro]

The time, the rehearsal we were doing before, what was that baby we we're doing?

What was that all about?

Yeah
