Mr. Johnson’s Lawn Lyrics by Terrence Howard

Shine Through It

0

I remember way back
When we was together
I had a party, you was over
We was chillin', whatever
You spinned some bottles and you told me
That you'd never say never and
I knew forever then I was your bretheren
I began to call you, I was handling my posts
I know some others tried to ball you
You was feeling me most
Conversation, for you
You was diggin' it close
Sophisticated approach
The way you greeted my toast sayin':
[Chorus]
Count to three, you said, come on
'Round the trees and head for home
Stay off Mister Johnson's lawn
I'll call you when my Daddy's gone
Count to three, you said you're grown
Clicked your heels and hurried on
Stay off Mister Johnson's lawn
I'll call you when my Daddy's gone
Now, come on
(Hello?)
Outside the bridge is off
I asked if I could take you walkin'
You said that the neighbors talk
Come on now, you're all grown, child
I'm tryin' my kisses on
But you won't believe me, no
You just said leave me alone
Lil thing, go with the grace of God
Cos you just chimed in right on time with:
[Chorus]
Say hey, ma! Like what you say, ma!
Any time that you want to play it's a game, ma
We can get it out of the way if you say, ma
Say, that's a nice line! Rather rather nice line!
You go flyin' and I'm yo co-pilot
You go try it and I'm gon' co-sign it
I don't mind if you don't mind it
You my kind and I'm all fine with it
I remember way back when
When we was together
You was a hard time coming 'round, baby, whatever
Now you take me to candyland all the time
Once in a while we operate
Down to play Monopoly
Then we drank on some pumpkin wine
You was so fine not at all mine
[Chorus]
Now come on
Now come on
Now baby come on
Come on
Baby come on
Baby, come on
Baby, come on, come on
Come on, come on, all day long
And I say, Lord
And I say, Lord
And I say, Lord
