The wind blew hot wind
Hotter than the sun rays
Just shinin on the crops
No birds chirping in this air
I swear for Lawd this air is hotter than a fryin pan
Girl, go on and move out of my chair for I can sit
These bones too old
You finish ya chores yet
Well bring me, my glasses
It's on the nightstand
Next to my bible
And bring a glass of water for me and Mrs. Cheryl
Now don't take all-day
These bones is old
It sure is hot
Ain't it
I'm bout to sweat out my curls
Just got it done on Tuesday
I need these curls for Sunday
You know how pastor be
Um, who that up there
You see it, right?
Or em I going blind
It's right there
Just standin like a midnight shadow
These eyes getting old
Oh Lawd
Chile wait a minute
Is that Lily up there
Again
(Laughs)
You know Lily, Darlean's youngest
The one I said prettier than the rest of her sistahs
But Lawd knows not the smartest
Hav mercy on her Lawd
That dress jus about to blow off her skin
Oh, help her Lawd
You heard about her mamma and the deacon, right?
Oh Lawd, I tell you later
Don't forget to remind me
You know how you be
About time
Almost forgot about you
Well hand it to me
Was my glasses on the nightstand like I said
Oh, ok thank you, baby
Yas Lawd
It's too hot to be standin still
Ain't it
Poor baby
Hope she don't wait all day
Bless her heart

Waiting on her Mistah

But did you hear?

Cause Lawd knows
It's gonna be a long day
