T-Bone - Raised In Harlem lyrics

Jairus (T-Bone):
My people telling me that you the man
That can heal the sick with ya healin´ hand
Demand sickness to scram
and got power like superman

Command the winds to cease
Even teach the priest & walk on water - if this true
Then I got the faith that you can heal my daughter

I am down on my knees - beggin´ ya please
I need a blessing - I am tired of stressing
Besides my daughter´s just an adolescent

I was raised - Raised in Harlem

My baby´s dying in the street bleeding
Barely breathin´ - about to die, Hero
Caught up - sot up over these drugs
By some thugs, Hero

I know I am just a chronic breathin´ heathen
That is thievin´, grievin´ & fendin´ for
My daughter´s healin´
But I am still believin´
That you can find it in your heart
To help a man like me - heal my baby
And take away her pain & this misery

I was raised - Raised in Harlem

#chorus#
I am pleadin´ Hero, Just say a prayer she will be OK
I know that if you come & just say the word to my daughter
You will take all the suffering away
Just come & touch her & hug her
I know that she will recover
Me & her mother love her like crazy
´Cuz we got no other

Please Hero, place your hands on her forehead
Just say the word
And raise my baby daughter from the dead
Raised - Raised in Harlem

Jairus´ Wife (Nirva):
What´s this man got to offer?
I sent you to fetch a doctor
You are too late - she has gone hereafter
Our daughter´s a drive-by disaster
Just another wasted victim
A little teenaged girl who was Raised in Harlem

Jairus (T-Bone):
Nah, it can not be, man. It just can´t be, Y´all
Aint nobody dyin´, Mammie, so stop the cryin´
Cuz she ´fi´n to live
This is Hero, the man who came to heal our baby kid
Just have the faith & believe that he can fulfill all our needs
Heed, him indeed - He has the one who can heal our dyin´ seed
I got the faith & trust that he can save
Our baby Darlin´
From Cali to Harlem
His healin´ stats are flawless & startlin´
I was raised - Raised in Harlem

(Repeat Chorus)

Hero (Tait):
(whispered) I need you, God
I know your heart´s breaking
But this girl is only sleeping
If you will just give us both a minute or two

Oh, yea, they laugh instead of believing
They think I have lost my reason
But don´t fear what you can not see or do
You just have got to believe - oh, just believe

Jairus (T-Bone):
(Repeat Chorus)
Do it, Hero
I know that you can heal her, my Hero
Just do it, Hero
I know that you can heal her, my Hero
Do it, Hero
I know that you can heal her, my Hero
Touch her, Hero
I know that your hands can heal her, Hero

Raised - Raised in Harlem
You know I was
Raised - Raised in Harlem
Raised in the City, ´Jus
Raised - Raised in Harlem
Yea - yea, my baby was
Raised - Raised in Harlem
Raised in the city of Harlem, ya´ll
