Reach Out Richard Lyrics

Richard, hello, I know it's 4am on New Years Day
I never made it home last night, alright
A minor so they dropped the charge and I'll be out today
I know that that won't make it right
It's never black and white but

Richard you taught me all I need to know
But there's some things you can't prepare for
All I ever wanna do
Is be as good a man as you

So don't you be concerned
(The kid's alright)
I gotta live and learn
(The kid's alright)
I know that you will see
(The kid's alright)
I'll find my way eventually

Richard, your tears fall on the wheel as you wipe them away
I've never seen you so far gone, along
The snow is tumbling, as you're wondering what you didn't say
When I'm the one who got it wrong
I tried to keep you calm cause

Richard you showed me what was wrong and right
But now I gotta live my own life
I will fall along the way
But I'll remember what you say

So don't you be concerned
(The kid's alright)
I gotta live and learn
(The kid's alright)
I know that you will see
(The kid's alright)
I'll find my way eventually

Woah woah
Reach out, Richard
Woah woah
Reach out

I know you see yourself inside my eyes
Richard don't worry 'cause the kid's alright
I gotta live and learn

Richard you barely made it out of school
But look at everything you been through
Apples fall right from the tree
As long as you are here for me

I'll never be concerned
(The kid's alright)
I gotta live and learn
(The kid's alright)
I know that you will see
(The kid's alright)
I'll find my way eventually

So don't you be concerned
(The kid's alright)
I gotta live and learn
(The kid's alright)
I know that you will see
(The kid's alright)
I'll find my way eventually

(The kid's alright)

Reach Out Richard

Hawthorne sings about his father on this Pharrell Williams produced track. He described it to Radio.com as "by far the hardest song [I've] ever had to write." Hawthorne added: "I have to thank Pharrell Williams for pushing me to get the whole story out. That was a toughie for me. It's a very emotional story. Richard is my dad. I still tear up thinking about that song sometimes, it's a tough one. It was so close to me that I didn't even know if I could put it on the album. Pharrell called me every day and said, 'You have to put that song on the album.' I caved and put it on there and I'm glad I did."

Crime Lyrics

Waterfront
Sunshine
A little weed
A little red wine
Then come
The 5-0
Citation
It's illegal

We just wanna party
We don't mean no harm
Don't wanna hurt nobody
But they make it so hard
We just wanna party
Just wanna rock all night
Don't wanna hurt nobody
No need to be uptight

It's a Crime

Backyard
Tunes right
Girls dancin’
In the moonlight
Then come
The one time
Regulation
Gotta pay the fine

We just wanna party
We don't mean no harm
Don't wanna hurt nobody
But they make it so hard
We just wanna party
Just wanna rock all night
Don't wanna hurt nobody
No need to be uptight

It's a crime

Pour up another shot of Hennessy my tendency to start the party with
Probably hit that Bob Marley I ain't with that Molly shit
Represent my nigga bang your hood
Bloods and Crips in the same building it’s all good
I’m looking at this pretty fine thing rolling with her friend
Hoping I can make her mind change jump inside my Benz
Let me get it crackin’
Conversation turn to plenty sexual frustration
Fuck-faces lookin’ at her hard to not to be impatient
O really though
You Drink?
You Smoke?
Get a case
Get a 1/8
Fly high not coach
G5 sit back
I’ll drive let me know
On the couch
On the bed
On the floor
Say go
Say when
In the wind we go
We toast to the game
No games
We both really grown
I’m sayin’ you playin’
I mean I dance
To my own beat to the beat now flip your hands and
Let the smoke burn
Lets the smoke burn in your vein
When it’s your turn hit it twice then say my name
Say my name say my name
Mind game like Candyman
Dark chocolate vanilla
I tell you this is Candy Land
This is candid camera there’s no pauses allowed
They don’t understand us because we wont turn it down
Middle fingers in the air
This is truth and double dare
300 drunk muthafuckas in the holding cell

Whoa

We just wanna party
We don't mean no harm
Don't wanna hurt nobody
But they make it so hard
We just wanna party
Just wanna rock all night
Don't wanna hurt nobody
No need to be uptight

We just wanna party
We don't mean no harm
Don't wanna hurt nobody
But they make it so hard
We just wanna party
Just wanna rock all night
Don't wanna hurt nobody
No need to be uptight

Crime Song Chart

This is a track from Where Does This Door Go, an album where every track features a seventh chord. Hawthorne explained why during an album playback session. "One of the very first producer meetings that I had was with...Rodney Jerkins," he related. "I played him a few demos I had done and I explained to him my vision for the record, and he basically told me I would have to scrap everything and start over again because I couldn't have any seventh chords in any of the songs 'cause it was too jazzy -- 'too soulful' were his words, I believe. So after that I decided that every single song on this new record would have to have a seventh chord in it."

The song finds Hawthorne questioning why indulging in "a little weed" at a party is a crime. He is joined by Kendrick Lamar who spits a verse about his love of partying.

The song's music video was directed by Parks and Recreation and The Social Network actress Rashida Jones. It shows Hawthorne encountering various obstacles on his way to a white-dress-only party. Jones said: "The video is a parody of ridiculously exclusive parties which are made nearly impossible to get to but tout themselves as 'the party of the year.'"

"I liked the idea of the video starting as a sexy getting-ready video and devolving into a messy, very unsexy, unexpected trek. And the final realization is that YOU are the real party! I'm just starting to realize that about myself (which is why I stay home most nights)."
