What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I need a reason to get up /before I wash my face
2
The junkies, the Hookers, the dealers the place
3
kickin' off my covers / trippin' off the fact
4
that I haven't called my gramma in a long, long time
5
standin in the shower/ for almost half an hour
6
Tryin' to wake up/ and I'm lookin for the power
7
reachin' for the towel/ with soap in my eyes
8
dryin' off my shoulders,/ my chest, and my thighs
9
The next thing I know/ the telephone rings
10
I hear my own voice /on the answering machine
11
please leave a message/ I'm glad ya called
12
I listen for a voice /but there's nothin' at all
13
Man oh Man
14
I gotta kick the blues
15
and pay respect where respect is due
16
all praises to GOD the one I return to
17
the one I can turn to
18
when I'm feelin burned to the bone
19
(chorus)
20
Early in the morn/ before I wash my face
21
The bed is still warm but there's an empty space
22
Early in the morn/ before I wash my face
23
a hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
24
At six in the morning /she rolled outa bed
25
stared out the window/ and then she said
26
that I wasn't her type...
27
I think she's runnin outta types though...and I told her so.
28
She picked up her things and walked through the door
29
and then said that she couldn't see me no more
30
just as she was leaving /I asked her if she'd call
31
she didn't look back / said nuttin at all
32
I didn't change my clothes/ because they smell like you
33
and when I took a shower it reminded me of you
34
I called Gramma Brown/for advice
35
it happened to me once/it happened to me twice
36
Michael/ my son/ you sound really bugged
37
I wish that you were here /so I could to you give
38
a hug then she gave me/ a long, long talk
39
she said "you have the patience /of ice on a sidewalk"
40
when things get rough/ don't sweat it
41
sometimes in life you just have to let it
42
and sing out a song / so strong
43
that even a bad dream couldn't bring harm
44
to the mind of a young childs battles
45
formed from the candle light shadows
46
her voice is like a whispering kiss on the forehead
47
(chorus)
48
Early in the morn/ before I wash my face
49
The bedisstill warmbut there's an empty space
50
Early in the mornin/beforeIwashmy face
51
a hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
52
In the last thirty minutes/before I fall asleep
53
when I have said my prayers /and I have brushed my teeth
54
This is the time /when I am forced to think about
55
all of the things/ I been tryin to forget about
56
The Bills, the phone, cleanin up my room
57
the cars, the traffic, the speakers and the boom
58
alone I remember /the times with me and you
59
and I realize my heart is shakin' up the room
60
Gramma she would tell us /about the glory days
61
and gramma she would tell us/ about when we were slaves
62
in the livin' room/ pianos outa tune
63
on top of it the pictures /of every bride and groom
64
child/ grand child /lost child
65
every single tear shed / every single smile
66
'cause everybodies got/ a lot of shit to deal with
67
and life doesn't stop/ it just makes ya feel it
68
so shake the dust/ offa your feet
69
take a step forward/ liberate with the beat
70
so for you/ I wrote this song
71
I wanted you to hear it/ before you are gone.
72
the African in me/ the Seminole in me
73
These are some a things my grandmother gave
74
to me some believe there are and some believe there
75
ain't if ever there was one my gramma Brown she is a saint
76
(chorus)
77
Early in the morn/ before I wash my face
78
The bed isstill warmbut there'san empty space
79
Early in the mornin/ before I wash my face
80
a hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
