Shekel - שקל - Call Me Up lyrics

[Chorus] Everywhere I go I feel almost Never shared posters on our walls, not even close Hoping someday home will find me and I won't be ever lost [Verse 1] He's got these hands, he's black and I'm beige And I like the way we turn together ancient gray Absorbing the city drills hoping to find the groove within I've got roots in the snowy north Only potato and coleslaw or both But I feel my a**, my heart in the jungle In the hood, in the ghetto In the 7/11 down one 168th street Flushing, Queens, New York Big leaves will be my clothes He'll put his arms around me and I'll brag that he's my swag Denying how rookie I lookie I think I finally found my place I think I finally found my place? [Chorus] Everywhere I go I feel almost Never shared posters on our walls, not even close Hoping someday home will find me and I won't be ever lost [Verse 2] These teachers try to tame me, to name me Lazy and angry, these bosses make me feel sh**ty I don't smile enough And I wonder, do boys get these kinda remarks? Girl are always expected to be suggestive And If I don't smile to an older cigar smoker Sketchy broker that needs my dress to brush his permeative ego No thanks, I'll go before you'll need to fire My need to please the man has expired Maybe I'm not smart in which battles I choose to fight But I'd rather be a refreshing surprise, than a dish on the side On the usual easy to swallow, no trouble to follow Pretty but shallow, Kind of toothless shark [Chorus] Everywhere I go I feel almost Never shared posters on our walls, not even close Hoping someday home will find me and I won't be ever lost [Verse 3] Late night surprise, early morning rise When he closes the door I never know when's the next show He makes me glow, but I don't even tell my mo' I didn't plan to meet this man, I didn't think I'll turn to pink Each time he makes his smooth, Persian dark and silky move I feel how all my rational cells go to hell the minute I ring the bell Walking up six floors while peeling off slowly my shell We think we can buy new beginnings like cheese Old habits have a way to push and squeeze Bulling all my… Chill out you live for the tease! What have we got if not to just Ease in, and enjoy whatever comes along [Chorus] Everywhere I go I feel almost Never shared posters on our walls, not even close Hoping someday home will find me and I won't be ever lost
