[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:] 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' 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:] 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 (Gotta do right, 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 And I can feel it callin' louder now Lovin' is so rewarding - yeah When you let it out [Chorus] [Rap: Q-Tip] Hold me down, ma, your man could be a little while Sometimes I need the love to get me over 'Cause I'm hoping that we can make it peaches and cream Intervene inside my dreams with your high cla** theme Got me splitting at my seam like a fat can gasping I'm asking can you marry me and saying I'm asking Sometimes a fella need to do the thing that's right Whether it be making love or holding a 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 you hand wrapped tight [Chorus] (2x)
