Jermaine's Interlude

Can't call it, can't call it
I never came from deep pockets
Why can't I make a deposit?
Can't call it, uh, can't call it
Yeah, can't call it, I can't call it
I never came from deep pockets
Why can't I make a deposit?
Can't call it, yeah, I can't call it

Oh, I had so many days of crying
Oh, I had so many days of pain
Have you ever been as sad as I am?
Lord, I ask if anything would change?
I can see the future that we're heading
I would say it's better not to tell
If it's anything like this in Heaven
Maybe I'd be better off in hell
(Better off in hell)

Tables do turn and labels do burn
The second they ask you to sell your soul
Don't you do it, don't you fold
Say "Fuck that shit" and be bold
Cause all them stories you told
On records worth more than gold
And if you never go gold again, at least you will know
The end of your road was chose
By you and not companies
Who control our remote control
And hide the truth on my no
But don't mind me, I'm just high again
Smokin' weed to get by again
No, actually I'm lyin'
Cause smokin' it got me smilin'
And rhyming like I rhyme
Way back when I would play the violin
Thought that shit wasn't cool
Momma sorry, I just stopped tryin' it
Paid for your house
In hopes there'd be no more reason for cryin'
That shows you how stupid I am
Cause niggas is out here dying
From police that flash the siren
And pull up and just start firin'
Niggas murkin' each other
In murky water I try and swim
How the fuck do I look
When I brag to you about some diamond?
Said all that I could say
Now I play with thoughts of retirement

Oh, I had so many days of crying
Oh, I had so many days of pain
Have you ever been as sad as I am?
Lord, I ask if anything would change?
I can see the future that we're heading
I would say it's better not to tell
If it's anything like this in Heaven
Maybe I'd be better off in hell
(Better off in hell)

Can't call it, can't call it
I never came from deep pockets
Why can't I make a deposit?
Can't call it, uh, can't call it
Yeah, can't call it, I can't call it
I never came from deep pockets
Why can't I make a deposit?
Can't call it, yeah, I can't call it
