You came late, now it’s too late… Kitchen closed, baby… been grindin’ all day, sweatin’ in the heat Clock tick-tock, draggin’ on your feet dreamin’ ‘bout a bowl, somethin’ nice and hot But you hit the door and they say they got nothin’ left in the pot She just shrugs, says “man you outta luck” Big ol’ sign say “closed,” now ya stuck you say “hold up, baby, don’t you see?” She say “nah, no soup tonight for me…” please, just a taste, just a spoon She laughed and said “you came too soon… or too late” No soup for you! No soup for you! But baby! I worked hard all day, what I’m supposed to do? No soup for you! No soup for you! Oh baby! kitchen closed today, yeah you too late mate I ran out, you’re too late Empty pot, cold plate No soup for you! No soup for you! Staring at me with that side-eye stare Said “rules are rules, ain’t nothin’ fair” you say“come on girl, don’t be so mean” She says “next time show up ‘fore the kitchen’s clean” Smell still lingerin’ in the air Teasin’ my soul, but there’s none to share Got my heart set on that savory dream Now I’m outside starin’ through the steam you say wait, don’t lock that gate She says “sorry, man… you gotta wait till tomorrow” No soup for you! No soup for you! But baby! I worked hard all day, what I’m supposed to do? No soup for you! No soup for you! Oh baby! kitchen closed, yeah it’s all for today We ran out, you’re too late Empty pot, cold plate No soup for you! No soup for you! No soup… no soup… Too late… too late… Work all day, still no pay (no soup!) Tryna eat but they push me away (no soup!) Life’s a game and I missed my play Now I’m hungry in a funky way Ohhhh baby… Just one bowl… that’s all I need… But the door’s locked tight… And they don’t hear my plea… No soup for you! No soup for you! But I worked hard all day, what I’m supposed to do? No soup for you! No soup for you! Oh baby, kitchen closed, yeah it’s all through We ran out, you’re too late Empty pot, cold plate No soup for you! No soup for you! Come back tomorrow… Maybe… maybe you’ll get lucky…
