N.E.R.D. - Provider

Album:

Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night
Damn
I must have passed out
Wake up baby
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke
Damn
I gotta get my ass out
So
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My momma said he?s trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
Yeah
So I?m driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
Yeah
I don?t get pulled over by the man
I just want to make it home to hold your hand

Chorus

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don?t see my face no more
I?m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don?t see my face no more
I?m a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight

You say you don?t want me to go but I have to
I gotta go
Please don?t weep
I love you
Dont cry
I refuse to be a bum
Nah
Especially coming where I?m from
I?m a provider girl
And I love you
Hey
So it?s just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I don?t need a ticket though I never got one
If he pulls me over
He can feel my shotgun
I think about life pull down my hat
It?s just like this road I don?t know where I?m at
Where am I
I don?t want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

Chorus

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don?t see my face no more
I?m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don?t see my face no more
I?m a rider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Someday, Someday, this will be over
We?ll raise a family
I?ll get a job and I?ll be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel

So don?t tell me you don?t know what you see
When you?re looking at a mothafucker just like me
I?m a provider girl
I love you
I said don?t tell me you don?t know what you see
When you?re looking at a motherfucker just like me
I?m a rider girl

Chorus

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don?t see my face no more
I?m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don?t see my face no more
I?m a rider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Someday
I love you girl
I?m doing this for us
I don?t know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
