To whom it may be so concerned
I got a situation here
I've got my head up under water
I can only count to ten

God knows I comprehend it
When you say you know me well
So if you may be a bit concerned
I've got a situation here

So why you don't you just show me
Since you know me well?
Why don't you just show me
Since you know me so damn well?

If you may be concerned enough
To take a swim with me again
I've got my head up under rubble
Time to take a breath again

Brick by brick I build a house
For my poor soul to dwell
So if you may be a bit concerned
I've got a situation here

So why you don't you just show me
Since you know me well?
Why don't you just show me
Since you know me so damn well?

4 3 2 1, this is for manipulation
4 3 2 1, this is for me, son
4 3 2 1, this is for manipulation
4 3 2 1, having fun for the young

If I were strong enough, I would start a revolution
If I were black, I'd rewrite the constitution
Rehire God to run my famous institution
4 3 2 1, this is for manipulation

So why you don't you just show me
Since you know me well?
Why don't you just show me
Since you know me so damn well?
