We Wanna Know

We wanna know

What's going on in New York

We wanna know

What's going on in your life

With people, they live in any which-a-way

And to heck with what the B-I-B-L-E say

We wanna know

What's going on in New York

We wanna know

If you've been chasing your dream

Cause after what me and your dad went through

To send your Black booty to NYU

It appears you just been runnin' around

Without any direction

Without any direction

Without any direction

If that's what you really wanted to do

Then why ain't you just stay here?

Cause you're selfish!

Every time we call you up you just claim

That you done made some connection

You so full of doo-doo your eyes is brown!

You can lie to yourself if you want

But you can't lie to me, dear

You runnin' around here with that MFA

So now you gonna write me a gospel play?

Like Tyler Perry!

Cause Tyler Perry writes real life!

Tyler Perry knows how to bring everything together with all the stories, and all the singing, and all the different people talking-

And Tyler Perry don't never forget to bring in the spiritualities

Cause Tyler Perry loves his mama!

And the Lord!

So write a nice, clean, Tyler Perry-like gospel play for your parents, please?

It's the least you could do after all the love we done gave -

And all the money we done come off of -

Unless you just don't love your mama

Or the Lord
