Heaven, I Need A Hug Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - R. Kelly

I'm just bein' real, you know 

I'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybody 

You know what I'm sayin' 

But it's like situation after situation, you know 

So I write about it to get it off my chest, you heard 

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

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

(Fo' real tho') It seems like the more money I make 

(Fo' real tho') The more drama y'all try to create 

(Fo' real tho') And through I try to move into the positive 

(Fo' real tho') 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, yeah 

Photos 

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 before 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 

They 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 

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) 

I need you to take me and lift 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 

Media, do your job 

But please just don't make my job so hard 

Somebody please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout 

I'm still young tryin' to figure it all 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 (Shower down on me now), wet me with your love 

I need you to take me (Please) and lift me up, yeah, 

yeah (Said I'm callin' on heaven) 

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 (Lift me up), 

yeah, yeah (Heaven I need) 

Heaven, I need a hug (Ooh, yeah, yeah) 

Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug 

Said I'm Feelin' like a change of heart (Hey) 

And all I really need is a sign or a word from God (Ooh, yeah) 

So shower down on me (Shower down), wet me with your love (Take me) 

I need you to take me and lift me up, yeah, yeah
