Exactly Who?

Rap Lyrics by Judy Dye

Exactly WHO gives a damn about me?

Exactly who?

Exactly who even thinks about me?

Exactly who?

If I fall, and lie dead on the ground,

Who will know I’m no longer around?

Exactly who gives a damn about me?

Exactly who?

 

You say WHAT? It’s expected of me?

You say what?

You say what? It's my reason to be?

You say what?

That I serve when I just stand and wait?

That in truth, it is never too late?

You say what? It's expected of me?

You say what?

 

Tell me WHY I should live just to please,

Tell me why?

Tell me why I am down on my knees?

Tell me why?

If great joy brings a tear to my eye,

Is that joy just despair in disguise?

Tell me why I should live just to please,

Tell me why?

Precisely WHEN will the truth set me free?

Precisely when?

Precisely when will I wake up and see?

Precisely when?

I can shout ‘til my voice goes away.

No one hears, not a word that I say.

Precisely when will the truth set me free?

Precisely when?

 

Exactly WHERE do the dead lie asleep,

Exactly where?

Exactly where will we all one day be?

Exactly where?

Will we wake and think life was a dream,

Or is death just the end that it seems?

Exactly where do the dead lie asleep,

Exactly where?

 

Life’s a TALE; I tell you, you tell me.

Life’s a tale.

Life’s a tale, from the tart grows the sweet.

Life’s a tale.

With a laugh, joy is born out of woe.

Give a nod and a wink ‘fore we go.

Life’s a tale; I tell you, you tell me.

Life’s a tale.
