Kardinal Offishall   Not 4 Sale   Due Me A Favour feat. Estelle      {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   foots 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 lie   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   can 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 nigga 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 dipped 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 im,   drownin' in a world of failure   but   I can't stop 'til my suits are tailored   well   I really can't trust my neighbours   some   only trust in they Lord and saviour   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 mayor   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 hardest see the least   it's like cultivating the harvest   not seeing the feast   I don't wanna get philosophical go-to deep   I have faith but I'm afraid to take the leap   most of what I know   I know holds me back   instead of learning   I want that lac   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?   (repeat once more)      {dialogue outro}   yo cuz   why you takin' me to the water B?   I mean   shit is peaceful   I mean this real romantic   you know I'm not into that shit?   right?      {outro spit}   some of my friends are terrorists   some of my friends deal crack and I am not OK with this   some niggas I know only back me because I rake dough like a gardner   fuck it I work harder   I don't like most hip hop out   there's a secret society of niggas who wanna shout   "turn that bullshit off!"   I should shut my mouth?   next thing you know I ain't welcome down south   of the border   I don't believe in turfs or a section   I believe in community   where anybody can walk good without protection   I believe that Dilla was the numba one dude in rap   but there on the slaps of haikus   I spite you for not givin' it up   fuck what that nigga say, nigga give it up      why black people act like little kids?   make mad excuses when they know what it is   be like them white folks invest that shit   instead niggas clownin' on the red carpet   showing my neice that a million on the neck   is the hot shit   is bloodclot disrespect   and growin' up poor don't make you ignant   act your age   don't act your pigment   race to the top   don't let your race stop you   from revolution   open your mouth and bust shots      read books   young nigga say "hello,"   screw faces an' fuck me we know you spines jello   spit what you been through   spit what you know   and don't waste my time   fuck your demo   yeeaah...      ---
