{intro}
Woah
oh x 5
{verse 1}
Yo
it's like speeding down the highway
with a blind fold on
no hands on the wheel
hopin' God will lead me my way
and I know he real
so my grandma say what I
feel a sweat from the sun
cause I work construction
I gotta take care of my son
I got one in the oven on the way
rents late, two months
cause my land lord talks too much
hands full of calises
and I still got the magic touch to make wifee blush
I been workin' it out since a high school crush
fix on the clutch
minds on my money
but my money ain't there
but I will not resort to welfare I care
can't stop
won't stop
couldn't even do it if I tried
if I said I did I'd die
let's ride x 2
ride...
{chorus}
I need a favour tonight
more than heaven knows
I need a favour tonight... x 2
could God do me a favour?
I could really use a favour
could I get it tonight?
(repeat once more)
{verse 2}
No
Christmas here
I'm taking time and a half
gotta make that cash
even if a n***** gotta drive that cab
I'm gonna treat it like a limo
didn't know? y'better ask
somebody told me
closed mouths don't eat
closed eyes may never ever see
so I try with everything I've got to not sleep
but it's hard to run if at first you don't creep
after work take the long way home
see a lotta whips stick out in chrome
thinkin about a house but I can't get along
so I day dream on my way back to my zone
thinkin about my son look when he full grown
will he be raised right or another street clone?
everything I know God knows gotta shown
lettim know he is not alone
he on x 2
on...
{chorus: Estelle}
I need a favour tonight
more than heaven knows
I need a favour tonight... x 2
could God do me a favour?
really use a favour
can I get it tonight?
(repeat once more)
{verse 3}
It's like uh,
drownin' in a world o' failure
but
I can't stop 'til my suits are tailored
well
I really can't trust my neighbours
some
only trust in the Lord to save me
I
gotta believe in the fact
that he must want better for us
like young C gotta do it for us
my car broke down
f*** the bus
f*** the million
f*** the city laws are unjust
it's like why do I try
when I feel I'm gonna die
without a tear left in my eye?
I work the hard to see the lease
it's like c**tivating the harvest
not seeing the feast
I don't wanna get philosophical go-to deed
I have faith but I'm afraid to take the lead
most of what I know
I know holds me back
instead of learning
I want that lack
come on x 4
{chorus: Kard/Estelle extended chorus}
I need a favour tonight
more than heaven knows
I need a favour tonight... x 2
could God do me a favour?
I could really use a favour
can I get it tonight?
