Pick Me Up. Lyrics

I need me a pick me up

Things ain’t the same, I’m feeling the pain

I’m pissy drunk

Bugging outta my brain, step outta my lane

I’m tripping up

I feel like I’m slipping

Nah am I just tripping

I need me a-

I need me a-

I need me a pick me up

Things ain’t the same, I’m feeling the pain

I’m pissy drunk

Bugging outta my brain, step outta my lane

I’m tripping up

I feel like I’m slipping

I might just be tripping

I need me a-

I need me a-

I need me a pick me up

Jerry the name that my mama gave me

Joseph the name that my dad had

Whit was the name that was in the middle

Guess that both of them had just paved my path

Guess I’m a product that was of the past

Jay way to the Jay Roc

These the pet names that my name brought

Best way to my pained heart

Just to listen and to hear this shit

Even if the understanding is limited

If it wasn’t real, I wouldn’t have written it

Mind bout to blow and I feel like it’s thickening

All the love to everybody that’s picketing

Calling for justice

I wish that I wasn’t

Feeling this cause I’d be out in public, with all of my brothers and sisters

I’m sorry I’m missing

Cause I’m not present I’ll just make it my mission

To make sure these people gon listen

We ain’t say we matter more than yours

We not really tryna start a race war

Justice and peace and equality shouldn’t be things that we have to go build towards

Wanna walk with no side-eyes, or no clutched purses

I don’t want hearses

For, my brothers kill by y’all guys

The ones in the blue paid by my tithes

They be taking all of our lives

Just by killing and using the system

To take away fathers, and to taking our sisters

And by the way we need to protect our women

Whether they were born that way or just different

Whether they prefer their men or their women

We all just like siblings

I need me a pick me up

(Pick me up)

Things ain’t the same, I’m feeling the pain

I’m pissy drunk

Bugging outta my brain, step outta my lane

I’m tripping up

I feel like I’m slipping

(Slip!)

Nah am I just tripping

(Trip, Trip)

I need me a-

I need me a-

I need me a pick me up

(Pick me up)

Things ain’t the same, I'm feeling the pain

I’m pissy drunk

Bugging outta my brain, step outta my lane

I’m tripping up

I feel like I’m slipping

(Uh, pick me up)

I might just be tripping

I need me a-

I need me a-

I need me a pick me up

(I need me a pick me up)
