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?



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



Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain

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

Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again

(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



Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain

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

Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again

(Pick me up, pick me up)

I'm talkin' about the voice, y'all



Ha, suky, suky now

Sho'mon (Tap)

Sho'mon (Tap)

Help me here (Tap)

Tappin' (Tap)

Tappin', tappin', ha ha (Tap)

Tap on it, tap on it (Tap) (Tap)



Can't U see it's just dirty money?

If your brother man is dyin' in the flow

Take off these chains (Tap) (Tap)

And listen 2 the voice callin' (Tap)

We gotta go, gotta go (Tap) (Tap)



Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain

(Oh yeah, like a fallin' rain)

Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again

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



5-4-3-2-1, keep the war over (Tap)

But how many wanna keep the peace (Tap) (Tap)

We keep buildin' guns when we could build love (Tap)

(When we need 2 build love)

Cuz that's when the war will cease



U know it, U know it (Tap) (Tap)

Can't U hear the voices? (Tap) (Tap)

Can't U hear the sound? (Tap)

Take heed, get your house in order (Tap)



Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain

(Tappin', tappin' like a.. like a fallin' rain)

Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again

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



Sighin' like a woman on fire

When she's ready 4 some of your love

(Born ready 4 all of your love)

The voice is just a-steady-callin'

(The voice is callin')

Until U give in, until U give up
