I need a reason to get up before I wash my faceThe junkies, the hookers, the dealers the placeKickin' off my covers, trippin' off the factThat I haven't called my gramma in a long, long timeStandin' in the shower for almost half an hourTryin' to wake up and I'm lookin' for the powerReachin' for the towel with soap in my eyesDryin' off my shoulders, my chest and my thighsThe next thing I know the telephone ringsI hear my own voice on the answering machinePlease leave a message, I'm glad ya calledI listen for a voice but there's nothin' at allMan oh man, I gotta kick the bluesAnd pay respect where respect is dueAll praises to GOD the one I return toThe one I can turn to when I'm feelin' burned to the boneEarly in the morn before I wash my faceThe bed is still warm but there's an empty spaceEarly in the morn before I wash my faceA hundred thousand miles is a lonely placeAt six in the morning she rolled outa bedStared out the window and then she said that I wasn't her typeI think she's runnin' outa types though and I told her soShe picked up her things and walked through the doorAnd then said that she couldn't see me no moreJust as she was leaving I asked her if she'd callShe didn't look back, said nuttin' at allI didn't change my clothes because they smell like youAnd when I took a shower it reminded me of youI called Gramma Brown for adviceIt happened to me once, it happened to me twiceMichael my son you sound really buggedI wish that you were here so I could to you give a hugThen she gave me a long, long talkShe said You have the patience of ice on a sidewalkWhen things get rough don't sweat itSometimes in life you just have to let itAnd sing out a song so strongThat even a bad dream couldn't bring harmTo the mind of a young childs battlesFormed from the candle light shadowsHer voice is like a whispering kiss on the foreheadEarly in the morn before I wash my faceThe bed is still warm but there's an empty spaceEarly in the mornin' before I wash my faceA hundred thousand miles is a lonely placeIn the last thirty minutes before I fall asleepWhen I have said my prayers and I have brushed my teethThis is the time when I am forced to think aboutAll of the things I been tryin' to forget aboutThe bills, the phone, cleanin' up my roomThe cars, the traffic, the speakers and the boomAlone I remember the times with me and youAnd I realize my heart is shakin' up the roomGramma she would tell us about the glory daysAnd Gramma she would tell us about when we were slavesIn the livin' room pianos outa tuneOn top of it the pictures of every bride and groomChild, grand child, lost childEvery single tear shed, every single smile'Cause everybod's got a lota shit to deal withAnd life doesn't stop it just makes ya feel itSo shake the dust off a your feetTake a step forward, liberate with the beatSo for you I wrote this songI wanted you to hear it before you are goneThe African in me, the Seminole in meThese are some a things my grandmother gaveTo me some believe there are and some believe there ain'tIf ever there was one my Gramma Brown she is a saintEarly in the morn before I wash my faceThe bed is still warm but there's an empty spaceEarly in the mornin' before I wash my faceA hundred thousand miles is a lonely place
