KIRK FRANKLIN LYRICS - Little Boy

"Little Boy"



[Verse I]

Little boy, where you goin'?

Tell me what you gon' do, you gon' be

Tell what your future

Is college in your dreams?

You like that money and them shiny things?

Got shot at seventeen

At your funeral we sing a sad song

Your momma's baby's gone

I hear the preacher say, "Rest in peace little boy."



[Verse II]

Little girl, where you goin'?

Do you even know you too young for them clothes?

I know you think you grown

But let him see yo mind not the crack or yo behind

Baby, Take your time and realize tomorrow has trouble of its own

Oh, and one more thing

You deserve a king 'cause you a queen, baby girl



[B section]

What happen to the days when we knew the way and we used to say Jesus

Now everyting is gray when trouble comes we pray

Something gotta change



[Chorus]

I've seen the lightning flashing

And I heard the thunder roll

See it won't be long God is showing up our wrong

You better get right church

Before it's time to go home



[Verse III]

Momma, Daddy, what you doing?

Ain't took a trip in years

Busy with both your careers trying to make your mark

Even bought a house but you kids live at 106&Park

It's getting dark

Don't let the sun go down

Now your children ain't around for you

Ain't no money in the world worth you losing family

Just tryin' to help you see baby



[B section and Chorus]



[Bridge]

If we ever need The Lord before, we sho' do need him now

Sho' do



[Verse IV]

Preacherman, where we goin'?

Church, what does it mean?

Talent show or lottery?

I know I've been guilty

It starts inside of me

Together, we can make a change

And one more thing

When you judge his name

Be careful, the preacher ain't you God

See his job is to give people Jesus, baby

Jesus, baby



[Chorus 2x]
