[Verse 1]
Open up your eyes and welcome to the world
Little baby boy, I mean, uh, little baby girl
Luckily you're healthy, the Lord works well
'Cause mama got a problem, mama live in hell
Or should I say lived 'cause she since passed on
Poison in her veins, shot up, and now she's gone
Give me your hand, child, no, fear me not
We gotta walkabout and talk about alot
This is an up-and-down world, mostly down
You gotta watch your step or you won't stay around
'Cause those who step into the fire surely burn
Hear what I say, child, listen up and learn
The devil doesn't want me to tell you the deal
But I talk what I feel
[Chorus]
(Talking what I feel, talking what)
(Talking what I feel, talking what)
[Verse 2]
Walk in the wisdom of a young man
But not nearly as young as yourself
And don't abuse your body with the poison
The only joy in life sometimes is your health
You gotta watch out for the people
The ones that try to tell you stay down
And if you hear 'em say you're not equal
Never regret your skin is brown
Instead, show 'em that a brown sister
Can surely succeed in the system
Designed best for the white mister
Succeed, child, and that is how you diss them
Quiet, the serpent gets closer on our heels
But the lesson don't stop, so l talk what I feel
And I keep talking what I feel
Open up your eyes and welcome to the world
Little baby boy, I mean, uh, little baby girl
Luckily you're healthy, the Lord works well
'Cause mama got a problem, mama live in hell
Or should I say lived 'cause she since passed on
Poison in her veins, shot up, and now she's gone
Give me your hand, child, no, fear me not
We gotta walkabout and talk about alot
This is an up-and-down world, mostly down
You gotta watch your step or you won't stay around
'Cause those who step into the fire surely burn
Hear what I say, child, listen up and learn
The devil doesn't want me to tell you the deal
But I talk what I feel
[Chorus]
(Talking what I feel, talking what)
(Talking what I feel, talking what)
