Sometimes (Ummah Remix) lyrics
by J Dilla
[Intro: Q-Tip]
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
[Verse 1: N'Dea Davenport]
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
[Chorus: N'Dea Davenport]
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...
[Verse 2:]
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
[Chorus: N'Dea Davenport]
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
[Rap Verse: Q-Tip, (N'Dea Davenport)]
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
[Bridge: Q-Tip]
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
[Chorus: N'Dea Davenport]
Sometimes you gotta do right
To be happy, yeah
One time you gotta believe
What you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right
To find happiness, yeah
Sometimes, sometimes – sometimes!
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
Sometimes (Sometimes!), sometimes (Sometimes!)
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
Sometimes (Sometimes!), sometimes (Sometimes!)
Sometimes you gotta do right (Sometimes... some... sometimes...)
To be happy (Sometimes... some... sometimes...)
One time you gotta believe (Sometimes... some... sometimes...)
(You gotta do right, you gotta do right...)
Sometimes you gotta do right (You gotta do right, you gotta do right...)
To find happiness (Sometimes... some...)
