Thomas Z. Shepard - Raisin: Man Say lyrics

RUTH Eat your eggs, they're gonna be cold WALTER Eat my eggs? Eat my eggs? Eat. My. Eggs. Man say, "I got me a dream!" A woman say, "Pa** the cream!" Man say, "Just hear the plans that I made!" A woman say, "Marmalade" Man say, "Don't make me wait!" a woman say, "Ah-pa** your plate!" Man say, "Here's what I care about most!" a woman say, " I burnt the toast!" Man say, "I gotta do something big 'fore I get too old!" A woman say, "A coffee's getting cold." Man say, "When the chance comes by, Win or lose, gotta try!" That boy, sleeping in the living room Needs living room to grow Take a look around, what do you see? Is this gonna be all he'll ever know? RUTH Oh honey, you never say nothin' new. So you'd rather be Mr. Arnold than be his chauffeur So? I'd rather be livin' in Buckingham Palace! WALTER And I'm telling you this ain't no fly-by-night proposition we got a partnership RUTH Walter, will you eat your eggs?! WALTER Man say, "Look out, don't try to slow me down Here come a giant 50 foot high!" Man say, "No this or that!" He say, "Here's where it's at." Reach up, grab a piece of the sky! RUTH Now look, you're mama don't wan't you taking no risks with that money WALTER Risks? Here I'm talking about me, about us and all you got to say is- RUTH Walter , will you eat- WALTER Oh damn my eggs, now damn all the eggs that ever was! RUTH Then get dressed, and go to work! WALTER There's the answer Iv'e been looking for It's clear as clear can be! Now I know the way to make the grade I'll eat what's been laid specially for me. Man say, "Right now, this is that chance to move No time to walk, get ready to fly!" Man say, "Life's on the line!" He say, "It's yours and mine!" Wake up 'fore it pa**es by!" Woman say, woman say, Woman say, "Eat your eggs!" Damn!
