[Oldie but a goodie...]
[1, 2, 3, funky]
[True MC, true MC]
[Everybody listens to the true MC]
True MC, no slack on the track
Here to tell the people that love's what we lack
In this family we gotta love like Christ
So precise in your life so take this advice
Brother to brother we need to learn to love each other
So lean on me when you're in trouble
I cast my cares on Christ cause He cares for me
So when you need a shoulder to cry on, just lean...
[Props to my man speedy, 1, 2, 3]
(chorus)
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend [I'll be your friend]
I'll help you carry on [lean on me]
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow [yeah, we do now]
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
(chorus)
Lean on me [sock it to me, sock it to me]
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend [I'll be your friend]
I'll help you carry on [lean on me]
For it won't be long [no, it won't be long]
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For, no one can fill those of your needs, yeah
And if you won't let them det-dum let them show
(chorus)
Lean on me [sock it to me, sock it to me]
When you're not strong [sock it to me, sock it to me]
And I'll be your friend [I'll be your friend]
I'll help you carry on [lean on me]
For it won't be long [no, it won't be long]
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call [call] on your brother [your brother] when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have some problems that you'd understand, yeah, yeah [you understand]
We all need somebody to lean on
(chorus)
Lean on me [hey]
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend [I'll be your friend]
I'll help you carry on, whoa
For, it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Make it funky, make it funky
Make it funky, make it funky
Make it funky, make it funky
Cause I'm housin' this joint
Like a brother with an attitude
And comin' straight so you best give me latitude
Leanin' on my boys from the word get go
And bein' there for them cause the Lord said so
Many of us just don't know what to do
Well take it here and now from the boy named true
Don't dog a brother out when he stumbles and falls
Just be there to lean on y'all
Call me [open now] call me [won't you call me] just call me,
Call me [yeah] call me [ye-yeah] just call me, lean on me
