Sister your time has come Got to lay it down Got to get things done But you're looking so hard And you just can't see Trying so hard dragging on me I'll tell you something baby I'll tell you what I know It's oh so cold - do what you're told It's hard when they're telling you no I said it's oh so cold - do what you're told With all the lies that they hold Inside their hands Mother, got to lay it down To be number one On this side of town But, you're looking so hard You just can't see Trying so hard dragging on me I'll tell you something baby I'll tell what I know It's oh so cold - do what you're told With all the lies that they hold Inside their hands Stop those lies Just don't see Stop those lies Get away from me It's oh so cold - do what you're told It's hard when they're telling you no I said it's oh so cold - do what you're told With all the lies that they hold Inside their hands
