D'You Know What I Mean?

Step off the train all alone at dawn

Back into the hole where I was born

The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me

The blood on the tracks, and it must be mine

Fool on the hill, and I feel fine

Don't look back, 'cause you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye

I think I know, but I don't know why

Questions are the answers you might need

Coming in a mess, going out in style

I ain't good-looking, but I'm someone's child

No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker

I made him cry

And on my shoulder he asked me why

His people won't fly through the storm

I said, "Hey, listen up, man!

They don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now

D'you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

D'you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

D'you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe

So open up your fist or you won't receive

The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need

Get up off the floor and believe in life

No one's ever gonna ever ask you twice

Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

I met my maker

I made him cry

And on my shoulder he asked me why

His people won't fly through the storm

I said, "Listen up, man!

They don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now

They know what I mean

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

They know what I mean

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

They know what I mean

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

D'you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

D'you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah

All my people right here, right now

D'you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
