Heaven I Need A Hug (Radio Edit) - R. Kelly

Written by：R. Kelly/Paul Riser

Dear mama you wouldn't believe

What I'm goin' through

But still I got my head up

Just like I promised you

Every since you left your baby boy's been dealin'with

Problem after problem tell me what am I supposed to do

See I get lost sometimes

Don't understand this place

Look in the mirror sometimes and see

A troubled face

And then my tears roll down and hit the sink

Then I hold my head up high

I hope the man upstairs can hear my cry

All these questions deep inside my mind

Like

If Jesus loved me why he leave my side mama

I'm still tryin' to get the answer why

You were young 45

And you had to die

I'm always

Tryin' to help people out

And it's them same people tryin' to take food out my mouth

Fo' real tho'

It seems like the more money I make

Fo' real

More drama y'all try to create

Fo' real

And through I try to move into the positive

Fo' real

The more y'all don't

Wanna let me live

When will you realize that I don't owe you nothin'

Need to get up off your butt and

Go get your own somethin'

I'm pullin' on my hair to keep from snappin' off

Fools ride up in my camp and be actin' off

Somebody out there please pray

What I'm talkin' 'bout

Still young tryin' to figure it out

Heaven I need a hug

Is there anybody out there willin'

To embrace a thug

Feelin' like a change of heart

And all I really

Need is a sign or

A word from God

So shower down on

Me wet me with your love

I need you to take me and

Lift me up oh ohhh yeah

I gave 13 years of my life to this industry

Hit song or not I've given all of me

You smile in my face and tell me that you love

But then before you know

The truth you're so quick to judge me

That's alright go ahead keep talkin'

'Cause I'mma hold my head up high and keep walkin'

And reach for the sky focus on the plan

Rescue the kid with his paper a pen

And this is for

The homies that we lost

Yo' we cannot forget y'all so the hats come off

We pour a little liquor out for the memory

I know y'all up there sittin' on chrome in them pearly streets

The street survivors be careful stay alive

I'm prayin' for your

Families I hope you pray for mine

Fo' real tho' used to be a time you wished me well

Fo' real tho' it hurts to know you wanna see me fail

Fo' real tho' and don't

Forget I kept you out of jail

Fo' real tho' where's my

Arms when you needed to be held

Their turn they backs on

You who was there believin'

Who said your troubles were only for a season

In church together tryin'

To pick up all the pieces

And now you betray me

I bind you in the name of Jesus

Somebody please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout

Still young tryin' to figure it all out

Heaven I need a hug

Is there anybody out there willin'

To embrace a thug hey

Feelin' like a change of heart

And all I really need is a

Sign or a word from God

Please shower down

So shower down on me

Wet me with your love yeah

Me up oh oh yeah yeah yeah

Man I tell you it's enough to

Make you wanna give it up

Thank God for my fans 'cause

Through it all they show me love

To my sister and to brothers

Tell me why can't we just try

To get along with one another

And stop hurtin' one another

Fightin' one another

Man I pray to God he get my family back together

Let me see what wanna see just to blind me

All of these luxuries wine and dining

And then you push me out in front to get behind me

Then you sat me up by blessin' me to bind me

I'm a grown man with kids

Now stakes are high

Gotta go to church now to avoid the fight

Frankly y'all to keep it real I'm just tired

Have dreams of bein' dead but the devil is alive

Fo' real tho' church folks you need to stop judgin'

Fo' real tho' or you will be the first to be judged

Fo' real tho' and women

Stop dependin' on us men

Fo' real tho'

And start

Dependin' on the man above feel me

And as for robert here's what I need to do

Get rid of them clowns

And get myself a whole 'nother crew
