Intro - The Sermon

(앨범: R Kelly - 1995)

(Well)
Are you ready for me? Yeah
Before I start, I just wanna get a few things off my chest
(Well, yes, take ya time brotha)
You see, being in the business that I am in, looks like everything I do, huh
Everywhere I go, (well) and everything I see
Seems to be through some kind of magnifying glass, yes
Can I talk about it?
(Talk on, talk on)
While you're looking, I suggest you take a good look
And I hope you find just what it is you're looking for
(Amen)
Just like that song says, (well) ain't nobody's business what I do, now can I
Move on?
(Move on, move on, move on brotha Kelly)
I remember when I was tryna be somebody, but I just didn't know nobody
(I didn't know nobody, well)
But now, yeah
(Now)
I said now
(Now)
Can I say it again?
(Gon' and say it again)
Now, ever since God has blessed me, yeah, it seems that things are going a little bit different (yes it is)
Folks ain't it funny how things can say sometimes
Why, even the Statue of Liberty want some bump and grind
Can I get a witness off up in them jeeps? (Amen)
I don't see nothing wrong with a little truth
Now, now, wait a minute, go that way
You see the good book says that the truth is the light, please, I think it's time
To turn on your lights and see the truth
Can, can I talk on? (Listen)
You don't know where I've been, you don't know where I'm going
You don't know, what I do
Can I get a witness?
So before you go trying to pass judgment on me, pass judgment on yourself
Worry 'bout yourself, and what yourself is doing, and where yourself is going
And who yourself has been with
That way, you (you)
You (you)
You, you don't have to ever worry about nobody, but Jesus
