Paris 1798430 Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey

(

Paris 1798430

) Woo, ooh-hoo

(

Paris 1798430

)

[Verse 1]

Ebony American, heart torn in two

Watching his soul disappear with no trace or clue

A brother got lost livin' for the city

Takin' dope from the man

Ain't nowhere to run when it's from Uncle Sam, yeah

[Chorus]

(

Paris 1798430

) My soul's in hiding

That's where a brotha be hiding 'til he get his due, hey

(

Paris 1798430

) My soul's in hiding

Gimme a call when we can live as large as you do, hey

[Verse 2]

Tears spill out in anger, our black is now blue

Our blood can be spilled as well but it will not make the news

Unless we're taken out one by one for the wrongs we have done

What else can you live by if you die by the gun? (Bang)

[Chorus]

(

Paris 1798430

) Ooh, my soul's in hiding

That's where a brotha be hiding 'til he get his due, oh

(

Paris 1798430

) My soul's in hiding

Gimme a call when we can live as large as you do, oh[Bridge]

Woo, yeah (

Woo

)

(

Paris 1798430

) Oh, whoa-oh

[Interlude]

So you know his mother will raise him you know like the best she can

And uh, you know it could have been much easier you know if she had like another man

And uh, it's kinda hard being happy you know, livin' on hope and good luck

And uh, it's kinda hard having pride when you ain't got bucks

Woo, ooh, whoa, oh yeah

[Outro]

(

Paris 1798430

) My soul's in hiding

My soul's in hiding

Oh, my soul's in hiding

When a baby cries, you know what? I envy his tears

So little does he know of the ignorance and fear

That will divide us until we are willing to change

Until the cup that we drink from is the very same

My soul'll be hiding

My soul'll be hiding

Hiding (

Hiding

), hiding

(

Paris 1798430

) Woo, hoo, ooh

(

That's where a brotha be hiding 'til he get his due

)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(

Paris 1798430

)

Give me a call

(

Gimme a call when we can live as large as you do

)

I will listen

(

Paris 1798430

) I will listen (I will listen)

I will listen (I will listen)

(

Paris 1798430

) I will listen
