Hey – Gentleman

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
How do you – Oh. How do you do yeah
How do you do – Oh

Maybe I’m a hopeless lover who has lost his way
Maybe I’m a lonely sheep who just simply strayed
Maybe I’m a freedom fighter who has lost his will to fight
But I won’t give up now no, got to make it through the night
Say the world is on fire though we don’t see no smoke
And I gots to get higher because that’s the only place to go
If you catch me on the one time, I’ll give you all my love
You let it shine like the sunshines, Lord cleanse my soul and lift me up

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey oh baby (we gon sing it again)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Say I cry for the lonely but who’s gonna cry for me
I’m one gunshot away from ending misery, lawd yeah
So when hope is lost just means is there to be found
You keep your head above the water, your feet on solid ground

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey oh baby (we gon sing it again)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Break it down for me
There must be demons in the Big House calling the shots
Like informers on the street side calling the cops
You know my name but you don’t know my load
Born and bred in the struggle is how my story goes
If I got to do it, I’ll do it and do it again
Knock on wood, I’ve never been to the pen
But I’m talking to God daily, trying to make amends
Praying that when the gates are open that we all get in
So I live my life for others never live for myself
Only the fool puts vanity in front of his health
I take it day to day reach for the sky
Pass me my lighter and my chalice
Baby let me get high and we gonna sing

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey oh baby (we gon sing it again)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
