UPTOWN

UPTOWN - Lalah Hathaway

Lyrics by：Lalah Hathaway/Juan Andres Carreno Ariza

Composed by：Lalah Hathaway/Juan Andres Carreno Ariza

Trying to find my way

Just to get to you

But these people out here

Playing with me fast and loose

Headed uptown I'm on the way

Ain't no tellin' how I'm gonna make it today

I'll take a car ride the bus to a train

Just to get to where you are

How much longer can I wait for

Time to put me back on the line

Ay-yi I don't understand

Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned

Ay-yi Murphy's Law of the land

Ay-yi ay-yi-yi

9 to 5 ain't hittin' like it used to do

And I'm caught up in the struggle of the red and blue

I'm heading uptown I'm on the way

Ain't nobody gonna steal my joy today

Takе a beat from a breath to another

Just to bе right where you are

Million years or a minute tick by

And I'm back on the line

Ay-yi I don't understand

Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned

Ay-yi Murphy's Law of the land

Ay-yi ay-yi-yi

Ay-yi tough for me to understand

Ay-yi nothing ever goes as planned

Ay-yi that's the universal hand

Ay-yi ay-yi-yi

Ay-yi ay-yi

Ay-yi ay-yi

Ay-yi ay-yi

Ay-yi ay-yi
