The Calling
[Verse 1]
Lord have mercy your son got ADD in school
(The teacher say) He cuss like a sailor and has a problem following rules
One day DNA will show effects of drugs and alcohol
It goes from the blood into your child
You his parents you done gave him it all
[Chorus]
But oh, when you get that calling
Take immediate action, no need to reply
Ply, ply, ply (there ain't no need to reply)
And no, I don't mean that calling from the things around you are seen with The eye, eye, eye (You know the things seen with the eye)
[Verse 2]
Look at your baby, what's he cooking over thе stove?
Two pounds boiling water, till them whitе rocks tumble and flow
You don't know nothing about him
See your son is into science and math
With no chemistry home cause you are gone
Add it up now. whatcha have?
[Chorus]
But oh, when you get that calling
Take immediate action, no need to reply
Ply, ply, ply (there ain't no need to reply)
And no, I don't mean that calling from the things around you are seen with The eye, eye, eye (You know the things seen with the eye)
[Verse 3]
My suggestion is that we gotta be about it
Whatever your interest is pick up a book and read about it
If your interest's to the left
Your life's to the right
In the middle you'll find your purpose
If what you need is the planet's seed, then the green shall hit the surface
[Chorus]
Do it oh, when you get that calling
Take immediate action, no need to reply
Ply, ply, ply (there ain't no need to reply)
And no, I don't mean that calling from the things around you are seen with The eye, eye, eye (You know the things seen with the eye)
But oh, when you get that calling
Take immediate action, no need to reply
Ply, ply, ply (there ain't no need to reply)
And no, I don't mean that calling from the things around you are seen with The eye, eye, eye (You know the things seen with the eye)
