Hook Me Up-Teves

Old best friend back in the hood
when we ran the streets we were up to no good
One day his little sister came by the house
she looked so damn fine I fell right out
Grabbed him by the ear, took him aside
I said Hey there brother what you trying to hide?

Hook me up-help a Brother out
Hook me up-why you holding out
Hook me up-shouldn’t have to shout
Hook me up-why’s there any doubt?
All that I’m asking is for a little in my cup
Hook me up mother scratcher
Come on-Hook me up

Johnny was crazy everybone knew
10 months in Nam and a habit for the glue
The commies start coming out the bushes at night
He went to the VA to make it right
The man said denied he said what the heck
reached out with his pencil and stabbed him in the neck
Hook me up-help a Brother out
Hook me up-why you holding out
Hook me up-shouldn’t have to shout
Hook me up-why’s there any doubt?
All that I’m asking is for a little in my cup
Hook me up mother scratcher
Come on-Hook me up

Earned my money it’s mine by right
Worked 80 hours every day and night
Put in time, put in my skin
Burned the candle at both ends for the win
Now the show is over, don’t hesitate
Give my money it’s time to get paid

Hook me up-help a Brother out
Hook me up-why you holding out
Hook me up-shouldn’t have to shout
Hook me up-why’s there any doubt?
All that I’m asking is for a little in my cup
Hook me up mother scratcher
Come on-Hook me up (repeat)
