Kirk Franklin Little Boy Lyrics

Little Boy Lyrics

Little boy, where you goin'?

Tell me what you gon' do, you gon' be

Tell me about your future, is college in your dreams?

You like that money and them shiny thing?



Got shot at seventeen

At your funeral we sing a sad song

Your momma's baby's gone

I hear the preacher say, "Rest in peace, little boy"



Little girl, where you goin'?

Do you even know you too young for them clothes?

I know you think you're grown

But let him see your mind not the crack of your behind



Baby, take your time and realize

Tomorrow has trouble of its own

Oh, and one more thing

You deserve a king 'cause you a queen, baby girl



What happened to the days when we knew the way

And we used to say Jesus

Now everything is gray when trouble comes we pray

Somethings gotta change



I've seen the lightin' flashing

And I, I heard the thunder roll

See it won't be long, God showing up on our wrong

Get right church, before it's time to go home



Mom and daddy, what you doin'?

Ain't took a trip in years, busy with both your careers

Trying to make your mark

Even bought a house but your kids live at 106 & Park



It's gettin' dark, don't let the sun go down

Now your children ain't around for you

Ain't no money in the work, worth you losing family

Just tryin' to help you see, baby



What happened to the days when we knew the way

And we used to say Jesus

Now everything is gray when trouble comes we pray

Somethings gotta change



I've seen the lightin' flashing

I heard the thunder roll

See it won't be long, God is showing up on our wrong

You better get right church, before it's time to go home



If we ever needed The Lord before

We sho' do, sho' do, sho' do now



Preacher man, where we goin'?

Church, what does it mean? Talent show or lottery?

I know I've been guilty, it starts inside of me

Together we can make a change



And one more thing

When you judge his name

Be careful the preacher ain't your God

See his job is to give people Jesus, baby, Jesus, baby



I've seen the lightin' flashing

I heard the thunder roll

See it won't be long, God is showing up on our wrong

You better get right church, before it's time to go home



See it won't be long, God is showing up on our wrong

You better get right church, before it's time to go home



Goin' home

Yes, I, I wanna go, I do, really do

I'm not tired yet, no, son, but to him

[Incomprehensible]



Goin' home
