R. Kelly - Heaven I Need A Hug lyrics

I'm just bein' real, you know I'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybody You know what I'm sayin' But it's like situation after situation, you know So I write about it to get it off my chest, you heard Dear mama, you wouldn't believe what I'm goin' through But still I got my head up just like I promised you Every since you left your baby, boy's been dealin'with Problem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to do See, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this place Look in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled face And then my tears roll down and hit the sink Then I hold my head up high, I hope the Man upstairs can hear my cry All these questions deep inside my mind Like if Jesus loved me, why he leave my side, mama I'm still tryin' to get the answer why You were young, 45, and you had to die I'm always tryin' to help people out And it's them same people tryin' to take food out my mouth (Fo' real tho') It seems like the more money I make (Fo' real tho') The more drama y'all try to create (Fo' real tho') And through I try to move into the positive (Fo' real tho') The more y'all don't wanna let me live When will you realize that I don't owe you nothin' Need to get up off your bu*t and go get your own somethin' I'm pullin' on my hair to keep from snappin' off Fools ride up in my camp and be actin' off Somebody out there please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout Still young tryin' to figure it out Heaven, I need a hug Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug Feelin' like a change of heart And all I really need is a sign or a word from God So shower down on me, wet me with your love I need you to take me and lift me up, oh, yeah I gave 13 years of my life to this industry Hit song or not, I've given all of me You smile in my face and tell me that you love But then before you know the truth, you're so quick to judge me That's alright, go ahead, keep talkin' Cause I'mma hold my head up high and keep walkin' And reach for the sky, focus on the plan Rescue the kid with his paper a pen And this is for the homies that we lost Yo', we cannot forget y'all, so the hats come off We pour a little liquor out for the memory I know y'all up there sittin' on chrome in them pearly streets The street survivors before careful, stay alive I'm prayin' for your families, I hope you pray for mine (Fo' real tho') Used to be a time you wished me well (Fo' real tho') It hurts to know you wanna see me fail (Fo' real tho') And don't forget I kept you out of jail (Fo' real tho') Where's my arms when you needed to be held They turn they backs on you, who was there believin' Who said your troubles were only for a season In church together tryin' to pick up all the pieces And now you betray me, I bind you in the name of Jesus Somebody please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout Still young tryin' to figure it all out Heaven, I need a hug Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug Feelin' like a change of heart And all I really need is a sign or a word from God (Please shower down) So shower down on me, wet me with your love (Yeah) I need you to take me and lift me up (Oh...oh...yeah, yeah, yeah) Man, I tell you it's enough to make you wanna give it up Thank God for my fans cause through it all they show me love To my sister and to brothers Tell me why can't we just try to get along with one another And stop hurtin' one another, fightin' one another Man, I pray to God He get my family back together Let me see what wanna see, just to blind me All of these luxuries, wine and dining And then You push me out in front to get behind me Then You sat me up by blessin' me to bind me I'm a grown man with kids now, stakes are high Gotta go to church now to avoid the fight Frankly, y'all to keep it real I'm just tired Have dreams of bein' dead, but the devil is alive (Fo' real tho') Church folks, you need to stop judgin' (Fo' real tho') Or you will be the first to be judged (Fo' real tho') And women stop dependin' on us men (Fo' real tho') And start dependin' on the Man above, feel me And as for Robert, here's what I need to do Get rid of them clowns and get myself a whole 'nother crew Media, do your job But please just don't make my job so hard Somebody please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout I'm still young tryin' to figure it all out Heaven, I need a hug Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug Feelin' like a change of heart And all I really need is a sign or a word from God So shower down on me (Shower down on me now), wet me with your love I need you to take me (Please) and lift me up, yeah Yeah (Said I'm callin' on heaven) Heaven, I need a hug Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug Feelin' like a change of heart And all I really need is a sign or a word from God So shower down on me, wet me with your love I need you to take me and lift me up (Lift me up) Yeah, yeah (Heaven I need) Heaven, I need a hug (Ooh, yeah, yeah) Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug Said I'm Feelin' like a change of heart (Hey) And all I really need is a sign or a word from God (Ooh, yeah) So shower down on me (Shower down), wet me with your love (Take me) I need you to take me and lift me up, yeah,
