Lyrics[]
Walk me home, and then wind me up
And I've seen your cup, until it over flows
Love is wild, do you feel it flow
And your bellies empty, and the food is gone (gold?)
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap
Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap, (Baba-do-dap)
Slow me down, and wipe me out
You'd be surprised, every time he shouts
Kick yourself, you did not know
They kick me hard, and they kick me low
Watching now, so you'll understand
If you want to play it, today we can
Got me (whole?), the mindless day (?)
Through the hole of a tunnel (?), and it's heading this way
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family
Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap, Baba-do-dap
Soo-be-do-dap, Soo-be-do-dap, Soo-be-do-dap
Family, Family
Family, Family
Family, Family
Family, Family
Once again
A bul-sha-pa de (?)
I got a shell, Woo!, you can't tell(?)
Don't mind (?) me now
Don't mind if you (fake it now?),
But don't leave me baby, cus (kick me now?) this day
Nay, waddya say?
(Hahh)
Hit that dial
Didn't anybody tell you, about my family (x8)
About my
(?)
(?)
Help me now, I don't want to get you slung out
Hey I'm burning up, (just checking out?) to feel alive
Hit now, Hit now, Hit now
