Due Me A Favour Lyrics - Estelle

Kardinal Offishall 

Not 4 Sale 

Due Me A Favour feat. Estelle 

{intro} 

Woah 

oh x 5 

{verse 1} 

Yo 

it's like speeding down the highway 

with a blind fold on 

no hands on the wheel 

hopin' God will lead me my way 

and I know he real 

so my grandma say what I 

feel a sweat from the sun 

cause I work construction 

I gotta take care of my son 

I got one in the oven on the way 

rents late, two months 

cause my land lord talks too much

hands full of calises 

and I still got the magic touch to make wifee blush 

I been workin' it out since a high school crush 

foots on the clutch 

minds on my money 

but my money ain't there 

but I will not resort to welfare I care 

can't stop 

won't stop 

couldn't even do it if I tried 

if I said I did I'd lie 

let's ride x 2 

ride...

{chorus} 

I need a favour tonight 

more than heaven knows 

I need a favour tonight... x 2 

could God do me a favour? 

I could really use a favour 

can I get it tonight? 

(repeat once more) 

{verse 2} 

No 

Christmas here 

I'm taking time and a half 

gotta make that cash 

even if a nigga gotta drive that cab 

I'm gonna treat it like a limo 

didn't know? y'better ask 

somebody told me 

closed mouths don't eat 

closed eyes may never ever see 

so I try with everything I've got to not sleep 

but it's hard to run if at first you don't creep 

after work take the long way home 

see a lotta whips dipped out in chrome 

thinkin about a house but I can't get along 

so I day dream on my way back to my zone 

thinkin about my son look when he full grown 

will he be raised right or another street clone? 

everything I know God knows gotta shown 

lettim know he is not alone 

he on x 2 

on... 

{chorus: Estelle} 

I need a favour tonight 

more than heaven knows 

I need a favour tonight... x 2 

could God do me a favour? 

really use a favour 

can I get it tonight? 

(repeat once more) 

{verse 3} 

It's like im, 

drownin' in a world of failure 

but 

I can't stop 'til my suits are tailored 

well 

I really can't trust my neighbours 

some 

only trust in they Lord and saviour 

I 

gotta believe in the fact 

that he must want better for us 

like young C gotta do it for us 

my car broke down 

f*** the bus 

f*** the mayor 

f*** the city laws are unjust 

it's like why do I try 

when I feel I'm gonna die 

without a tear left in my eye? 

I work the hardest see the least 

it's like cultivating the harvest 

not seeing the feast 

I don't wanna get philosophical go-to deep 

I have faith but I'm afraid to take the leap 

most of what I know 

I know holds me back 

instead of learning 

I want that lac 

come on x 4 

{chorus: Kard/Estelle extended chorus} 

I need a favour tonight 

more than heaven knows 

I need a favour tonight... x 2 

could God do me a favour? 

I could really use a favour 

can I get it tonight? 

(repeat once more) 

{dialogue outro} 

yo cuz 

why you takin' me to the water B? 

I mean 

shit is peaceful 

I mean this real romantic 

you know I'm not into that shit? 

right? 

{outro spit} 

some of my friends are terrorists 

some of my friends deal crack and I am not OK with this 

some niggas I know only back me because I rake dough like a gardner 

fuck it I work harder 

I don't like most hip hop out 

there's a secret society of niggas who wanna shout 

"turn that bullshit off!" 

I should shut my mouth? 

next thing you know I ain't welcome down south 

of the border 

I don't believe in turfs or a section 

I believe in community 

where anybody can walk good without protection 

I believe that Dilla was the numba one dude in rap 

but there on the slaps of haikus 

I spite you for not givin' it up 

fuck what that nigga say, nigga give it up 

why black people act like little kids? 

make mad excuses when they know what it is 

be like them white folks invest that shit 

instead niggas clownin' on the red carpet 

showing my neice that a million on the neck 

is the hot shit 

is bloodclot disrespect 

and growin' up poor don't make you ignant 

act your age 

don't act your pigment 

race to the top 

don't let your race stop you 

from revolution 

open your mouth and bust shots 

read books 

young nigga say "hello," 

screw faces an' fuck me we know you spines jello 

spit what you been through 

spit what you know 

and don't waste my time 

fuck your demo 

yeeaah...
