Sometimes - J Dilla

Come on ma we got to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

Come on ma we got to make things right

It's the Abstract baby got to make things right

Talkin' 'bout a revolution

Or maybe just a change of mind

Working on my constitution

I began to realize

I've been doin' wrong forever

Trouble was my favorite game yeah

Breakin' hearts I thought was so clever

But I'm the one who got hurt playin' - huh

I never could see it coming no

Never could feel it 'til its come and gone

But all of that don't mean nothing no

When you're all alone

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness yeah

Sometimes sometimes

Gotta do right ya gotta do right ahh - sometimes

You're lookin' at a transformation

That's brought about a change in me

Love's a brand new situation

Never have I felt so free

'Cause I can see it comin' - yeah yeah

And I can feel it callin' louder now

Lovin' is so rewarding - yeah

When you let it out

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy

One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside

Sometimes you gotta do right

To find happiness yeah

Sometimes sometimes - ohh

Hold me down ma your man could be a little wild

Sometimes I need the love to get me open

'Cause I'm hoping that we can make it peaches and cream

Intervene inside my dream with your high class theme

Got me splitting at my seam like a fat cat gasping

I'm asking "can you marry me?

I'msayin' I'm asking

(Sometimes)

Sometimes a fella need to do the thing that's right

Whether it be making love or holding the mic

So come on ma we got to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

Come on ma we got to make things right

Sometimes we really really got to make things right

Come on ma we got to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

Sometimes we really need to make things right

It's the Abstract baby hold your hand wild tight - uh

Sometimes you gotta do right

To be happy yeah

One time you gotta believe

What you feel inside
