darryl mayes - stop the world lyrics

[intro]
this boy just say he tired? (dad, not again, bro)
okay, i, i, i tell you what
let me just go outta my way to stop the world
and tell everybody that darryl need a break (oh my god, man, why you bein’ so dramatic?)
oh, no, no, it’s alright, okay

[pre+chorus]
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one workin’ from 9 to 5?
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one payin’ these bills on time?
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one doin’ the grocery buyin’?
oh, wait, that’s me, so what you do?
you just sit on your ass and whine

[verse 1]
lord, please, if you don’t mind
can you just put the world on pause? (please)
my son darryl need a break
i guess from sittin’ on his drawers (sittin’ on his ass)
he said he tired and need some rest, but he ain’t did nothin’ at all (nothin’)
the only break you ’bout to get is when my fist hit your jaw (ba+ba)
boy, you must’ve lost your mind, talkin’ ’bout you need some rest
since you came up out the womb, i been broke and i been stressed (i have)
i’m the one that kept you fed, and i’m the one that kept you dressed (i did)
boy, i pay for all of this, so this my house and you my guest (lil’ boy)
don’t forget who was the one that wiped your ass when you was little
don’t forget i was the one who taught you to pass and how to dribble (i did)
i’m the one that fought the bullet while your ass sat there and questioned (scared ass)
i’m the one that kept you warm and cozy and here in the winter
and somehow you got the nerve? this boy gon’ mess around and get hurt
talkin’ ’bout what you deserve, like you the one that go to work (yup)
i keep this roof over your head so you ain’t sleepin’ in the dirt (uh+huh)
and keep a nice home+cooked meal so that your stomach don’t hurt
but, oh, you tired
[pre+chorus]
you must be the one workin’ from 9 to 5?
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one payin’ these bills on time?
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one doin’ the grocery buyin’?
oh, wait, that’s me, so what you do?
you just sit on your ass and whine

[verse 2]
boy, y’all new kids just lazy, you been coddled since a baby
i bet my whole bank account y’all wouldn’t even make it through the ’80s (you won’t)
you ungrateful little roaches
see, y’all struggle, that’s what make it
if i call out, it’s ’cause i’m dead, if you call out, it’s ’cause it’s rainin’ (woo)
back in the day, to go to school, i had to wrestle with a bear (rah)
couldn’t even get a pair of shoes to test tyin’ ’em, just a pair
and if i messed them things up, then guess what? oh, well
i went to school in bare feet, told all the bullies to go to h+ll
then i dropped out, moved out, and had a child the same week
and fast forward twenty years, your ass think everything sweet
walk ’round this house just like you own it
ain’t bought the socks on your feet (not a d+mn thing)
and got the nerve to tell me no? boy, i dun’ knock out your t++th (bow, knock ’em)
’cause, boy, i swear you got it twisted, all the sacrifices i made
to make sure you had what you needed every time that i got paid
it was nights i didn’t even eat, your ass just had a buffet (ugh)
boy, you been chillin’ your whole life, i ain’t gotta chill for one day
but, oh, you tired
[pre+chorus]
you must be the one workin’ from 9 to 5?
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one payin’ these bills on time?
(oh, you tired?) you must be the one doin’ the grocery buyin’?
oh, wait, that’s me, so what you do?
you just sit on your ass and whine

[bridge]
light bill, who paid? (pops paid)
water bill, who paid? (pops paid)
gas bill, who paid? (pops paid)
every bill, who paid? (pops paid)
cable bill, who paid? (pops paid)
phone bill, who paid? (pops paid)
house bill, who paid? (pops paid)
every bill, who paid? (pops paid)
not darryl, but

[chorus]
stop the world (everybody), stop the world (please stop)
stop the world (stop the world), stop the world (please, lord)
stop the world (everybody), stop the world (stop for darryl)
stop the world (he need some rest), stop the world (please stop)
[outro]
talkin’ ’bout you tired
like the world revolve around you
get your monkey ass up and do what i told you to do
before i knock you upside your head
boy lost his mind, talkin’ ’bout he tired
tired from what? that’s what i thought, nothin’
must’ve lost your mind
