Jairus (T-Bone): 
My people telling me that you the man 
That can heal the sick with ya healin' hand 
Demand sickness to scram 
and got power like superman 

Command the winds to cease 
Even teach the priest and walk on water - if this true 
Then I got the faith that you can heal my daughter 

I'm down on my knees - beggin' ya please 
I need a blessing - I'm tired of stressing 
Besides my daughter's just an adolescent 

I was raised - Raised in Harlem 

My baby's dying in the street bleeding 
Barely breathin' - about to die, Hero 
Caught up - sot up over these drugs 
By some thugs, Hero 

I know I'm just a chronic breathin' heathen 
That's thievin', grievin' and fendin' for 
My daughter's healin' 
But I'm still believin' 
That you can find it in your heart 
To help a man like me - heal my baby 
And take away her pain and this misery 

I was raised - Raised in Harlem 

(Chorus) 
I'm pleadin' Hero, Just say a prayer she'll be O.K. 
I know that if you come and just say the word to my daughter 
You'll take all the suffering away 
Just come and touch her and hug her 
I know that she'll recover 
Me and her mother love her like crazy 
'Cuz we got no other 

Please Hero, place your hands on her forehead 
Just say the word 
And raise my baby daughter from the dead 
Raised - Raised in Harlem 

Jairus' Wife (Nirva): 
What's this man got to offer? 
I sent you to fetch a doctor 
You're too late - she's gone hereafter 
Our daughter's a drive-by disaster 
Just another wasted victim 
A little teenaged girl who was Raised in Harlem 

Jairus (T-Bone): 
Nah, it can't be, man. It just can't be, Y'all 
Ain't nobody dyin', Mammie, so stop the cryin' 
Cuz she 'fi'n to live 
This is Hero, the man who came to heal our baby kid 
Just have the faith and believe that he can fulfill all our needs 
Heed, him indeed - He's the one who can heal our dyin' seed 
I got the faith and trust that he can save 
Our baby Darlin' 
From Cali to Harlem 
His healin' stats are flawless and startlin' 
I was raised - Raised in Harlem 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Hero (Tait): 
(whispered) I need you, God 
I know your heart is breaking 
But this girl is only sleeping 
If you'll just give us both a minute or two 

Oh, yeah, they laugh instead of believing 
They think I've lost my reason 
But don't fear what you can't see or do 
You just gotta believe - oh, just believe 

Jairus (T-Bone): 
(Repeat Chorus) 
Do it, Hero 
I know that you can heal her, my Hero 
Just do it, Hero 
I know that you can heal her, my Hero 
Do it, Hero 
I know that you can heal her, my Hero 
Touch her, Hero 
I know that your hands can heal her, Hero 

Raised - Raised in Harlem 
You know I was 
Raised - Raised in Harlem 
Raised in the City, 'Jus 
Raised - Raised in Harlem 
Yeah - yeah, my baby was 
Raised - Raised in Harlem 
Raised in the city of Harlem, ya'll
