N.E.R.D. - Provider lyrics

[N.E.R.D. - Provider lyrics]

Woke up
I had the same clothes on I had on last night
I must have passed out
And cash is just like the
Clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke, I gotta get my ass out
I went to see what my
Friend was talking about
He told me cocaine could get you clout
My momma said he's trouble
And school's my route
But, I went to high school and got kicked out
So I'm driving this truck down 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
I don't get pulled over by the man
I just want to make it home to hold your hand

Goodbye, beloved one do you know what I am?
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a provider, girl
Gotta face the streets tonight


Goodbye, beloved one do you know what I am?
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a rider, girl
Gotta face the streets tonight

You say you don't want me to go
But I have to please, don't weep, I love you
I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where I'm from
I'm a provider, girl, and I love you
So, it's just like I said before
Heading down 95, dodging Johnny law
I don't need a ticket, though I never got one
If he pulls me over, he gon' feel my shotgun
I think about life, pull down my hat
It's just like this road
I don't know where I'm at
I don't want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity where I find my glory
Come on

Goodbye, beloved one do you know what I am?
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a provider, girl
Gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye, beloved one do you know what I am?
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a rider, girl
Gotta face the streets tonight

Someday, this will be over
We'll raise a family
I'll get a job, and I'll be a voter
And if I die, it will change you
I'll watch over our family
But only as an angel

So don't tell me you don't know what you see
When you're looking at a
Motherfucker just like me
I'm a provider, girl i said
Don't tell me you don't know what you see
When you're looking at a
Motherfucker just like me i'm a rider, girl

Goodbye, beloved one do you know what I am?
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a provider, girl
Gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye, beloved one do you know what I am?
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a rider, girl
Gotta face the streets tonight

I love you, girl i'm doing this for us
I don't know any better
What am I supposed to do? Nothing?
I love you
