"100" lyrics

JANE HANDCOCK Lyrics

"100"
(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

I woke up to the light
I feel like I can touch the sky
This lil' soul of mine
It don't come with a price, oh, not my life
Everything ain't what it seem
I took the wool from over my eyes
I decided that I'd follow my truth, not tell a lie
Even if it's me, myself and I

Fuck learnin' the hard way
Don't bring that fruit to my garden
Even if I want a taste
Some things I love just ain't safe
I've been rockin' and rollin'
I can't slow it down, gotta pick up the pace
Only thing that I pray
Is all of my sins wash away

I've been runnin', runnin'
'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (Won't do)
I've been runnin', tryna keep it a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half won't do

I went to church
I got on my knees and prayed
All the devils I done seen
Keep starin' me in my face, all in my face
Sometimes can't help but do bad
When my heart is good
Though I try
Pull this wool off of my eyes
And I decided (Yeah)
That I'd follow my truth, not tell a lie
Even if it's me, myself and I

Fuck learnin' the hard way
Don't bring that fruit to my garden
Even if I want a taste
Some things I love just ain't safe
I've been rockin' and rollin'
I can't slow it down, gotta pick up the pace
Only thing that I pray
Is all of my sins wash away

I've been runnin' (Yeah), runnin'
'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (Said, I've been)
I've been runnin', tryna keep it a hundred
'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (Tell you, it just won't do, no, no, no)
I've been runnin', runnin' (I'm tryna keep it together, yeah)
'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (Won't do, do, do, do, do, do)
I've been runnin', tryna keep it a hundred
'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do
