[Verse 1: Singing - Jill Scott]
I know, oh
I know
That look on your face
Says youâre going through some things
And for sure
Maybe for sure
Iâm here
Mmm hmm here for you baby
Whatever it is
Trouble is deep
I can see by your eyes
Theyâre heavy to me
Talk to me baby
[Chorus]
I am your shelter
Youâre safe from harm
Tornado, lightening, hurricane
Canât get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let Go
Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down) (x2)
Layâem down Layâem down
Lay your burdens down
Layâem down Layâem down
Lay your burdens down
Canât get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let Go
Lay your burdens down
[Verse 2: Spoken - Jill Scott]
Look here holâ up
You got a lot goin on
I can see
By the way you walk
And how you got your shoulders on
Baby everybody get wet
When the rain is falling
Canât stop now cause the wind is foreign
Itâs a fact
Of the universe
That sometimes
Life is pain
And it can hurt
But I know
That itâll get better
Because youâve gone through worse
[Singing]
Whatever it is
Trouble is deep
I can tell by your eyes theyâre heavy to me
Oh my baby
I am mmmm
[Chorus]
I am your shelter
Youâre safe from harm
Tornado, Lightening, Hurricane
Canât get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let Go
Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down) (x2)
Layâem down Layâem down
Lay your burdens down
Layâem down Layâem down
Lay your burdens down
Canât get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let Go
Lay your burdens down
[Bridge]
Sitting here
Contemplating
If we should even be
See Iâm in love with a man
Who loves me
For me
Heâd do anything
Easily
Oh his heart knows no boundaries
He needs
Sometimes
To write
With a different pen
On different paper
He needs (oh)
He needs
He needs
Mmm hmmm
So Iâm sitting here
Contemplating
If we should even be
Like him
I, too, have needs
Like my [?]
Hypnotic and sweet
Part of the dream
And I need you
On the other side of the speaker
To look up a little more
And think a little deeper
And live in your truth
I need that too
I need to do that too
I need
[Outro]
Sitting hereâ¦
Contemplating
