Sometimes (Ummah Remix)

[Intro: Q-Tip]

Come on, ma, we got to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

Come on, ma, we got to make things right

It's the Abstract, baby, got to make things right

[Verse 1: N'Dea Davenport]

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, 

Or maybe just a change of mind

Working on my constitution, 

I began to realize –

I've been doin' wrong forever

Trouble was my favorite game, yeah

Breakin' hearts, I thought, was so clever

But, I'm the one who got hurt playin' – huh

I never could see it coming, no

Never could feel it 'til its come and gone

But all of that don't mean nothing, no

When you're all alone

[Chorus: N'Dea Davenport]

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness, yeah

Sometimes, sometimes

Gotta do right, ya gotta do right, ahh – sometimes...

[Verse 2:]

You're lookin' at a transformation

That's brought about a change in me

Love's a brand new situation, 

Never have I felt so free

'Cause I can see it comin' – yeah, yeah

And I can feel it callin' louder now

Lovin' is so rewarding – yeah

When you let it out

[Chorus: N'Dea Davenport]

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness, yeah

Sometimes, sometimes – ohh

[Rap Verse: Q-Tip, (N'Dea Davenport)]

Hold me down, ma, your man could be a little wild

Sometimes I need the love to get me open

'Cause I'm hoping that we can make it peaches and cream

Intervene inside my dream with your high class theme

Got me splitting at my seam like a fat cat gasping

I'm asking "can you marry me?" – I'msayin', I'm asking (Sometimes...)

Sometimes a fella need to do the thing that's right

Whether it be making love, or holding the mic

[Bridge: Q-Tip]

So come on, ma, we got to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

Come on, ma, we got to make things right

Sometimes we really, really got to make things right

Come on, ma, we got to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

It's the Abstract, baby, hold your hand wild tight – uh

[Chorus: N'Dea Davenport]

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy, yeah

One time you gotta believe

What you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness, yeah

Sometimes, sometimes – sometimes!

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness

Sometimes (Sometimes!), sometimes (Sometimes!)

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness

Sometimes (Sometimes!), sometimes (Sometimes!)

Sometimes you gotta do right  (Sometimes... some... sometimes...)

To be happy (Sometimes... some... sometimes...)

One time you gotta believe (Sometimes... some... sometimes...)

(You gotta do right, you gotta do right...)

Sometimes you gotta do right (You gotta do right, you gotta do right...)

To find happiness (Sometimes... some...)
