lyrics

Daddy's Not Workin'
© & (p) 1990 Bunj Jam Music-BMI

I asked a blind man to give me the time
He said
Hiss with your wits
And when they pull you down just be pleasin'

And too many times I find the rhyme
But I can't seem to find the time
To let my mind
See the reason

And I don't mean to make you feel surreal
But if you smile with my help
You'll see your clock is melting

Take your cup and drink it down
But now who's gonna fill it up
Because your momma she ain't
She just ain’t working

I can make you tired by preaching
Leaching
Not Reaching
It’s so easy
To not please you

So I’ll soak here and be you
And you can float there
Way up there
And be
Someone else too

Take your cup and drink it down
But now who's gonna fill it up
Because your daddy...
He just not working
