A Strange Loop (Original Cast Recording)
We Wanna Know
We wanna know
What's going on in New York
We wanna know
What's going on in your life
With people there living any which-a way
And to heck with what the B-I-B-L-E say
We wanna know
What's going on in New York
We wanna know
If you been chasing your dream
'Cause after what me and your dad went through
To send your black booty to NYU
It appears you be just running around
And without any direction
Without any direction (and without any direction)
If that's what you really wanted to do
Then why ain't you just stay here?
'Cause you're selfish
Everytime we call you up
You just claim that you done made some connection
You so full of doo-doo you're eyes is brown
You can lie to yourself if you want
But you can't lie to me, dear
You're running around there
With that MFA
So now you gonna write me a gospel play
Like Tyler Perry
'Cause Tyler Perry writes real life
Tyler Perry knows how to bring everything together
With all the stories, and all the singing
And all the diferent people talking
And Tyler Perry done never forget to bring in the spiritualities
'Cause Tyler Perry loves his mama
And the Lord!
So write a nice, clean
Tyler Perry like gospel play for your parents, please
It's the least you could do after all the love we done gave
And all the money we done come off of
Unless you don't love you mama
Or the Lord
What's going on in New York
