Provider (remix - instrumental) Songtext
von N*E*R*D

Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night
Damn
I must have passed out
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke
Damn
I gotta get my ass out
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My momma said he′s trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
So I'm driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
I don′t get pulled over by the man
I just want to make it home to hold your hand


Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You don′t see my face no more
I′m a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you don't want me to go but I have to
Please don′t weep
I love you


I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where I'm from
I′m a provider girl
And I love you
So it's just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I don′t need a ticket though I never got one
If he pulls me over
He can feel my shotgun
I think about life pull down my hat
It's just like this road I don't know where I′m at
I don′t want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don't see my face no more
I′m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You don't see my face no more
I′m a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you don't want me to go but I have to
Please don′t weep
I love you

Someday, Someday, this will be over
We'll raise a family
I'll get a job and I′ll be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel

So don′t tell me you don't know what you see
When you′re looking at a motherfucker just like me
I'm a provider girl
I said don′t tell me you don't know what you see
When you′re looking at a motherfucker just like me
I'm a rider girl

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don't see my face no more
I′m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You don′t see my face no more
I'm a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you don′t want me to go but I have to
Please don't weep
I love you

I love you girl
I′m doing this for us
I don't know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
