Living In the Pits

Many came a-running with their funds undone.
With hopes and prayers to have a rerun come.
But when they're broke they become so stunned,
There's nothing they can do to overcome what's done!

Bah bahbahdahbahdahbah bah bah dah dah.
Bah bah dahbahdahbahdahbah bah bah dah.
Bah bahbahdahbahdahbah bah bah dah.
Bah bah dahbahdahbahdahbah bah bah dah.

Everybody clutches to a wish list missed.
Hoping that a yesterday can be re-picked.
Everybody hears with a listening dissed.
And when that's realized they're living in the pits!

Bah bahbahdahbahdahbah bah bah dah dah.
Bah bah dahbahdahbahdahbah bah,
Oh baby oh...

Simplistically Breezy

Keeping it realistic.
Untwisted from statistics!
I've got my charm and focus going.
Watching those whose minds flow,
Unknowing...
Their balled fists keeps them animalistic.

I've got to keep it realistic...
Tired of being analystic,
About who did what to whom and where?
Why that was done in others affairs?
I am staying on top of what I maintain.
Trying to rise above those misfits...
Unchanged.
Who seem encouraged to go ballistically insane!

Dah deedee dah dah doo!
Dah dee dah.
Dah dee dah,
Dah dee dah...
Dah deedee dah dah doo!
Dah dee dah...
Dee dee dah dah dah doo!

Simplistically breezy.

Dah deedee dah dah doo!
Dah dee dah.
Dah dee dah,
Dah dee dah...
Dah deedee dah dah doo!
Dah dee dah...
Dee dee dah dah dah doo!

Keeping it realistic...
Without hatchets to bury or bones to pick.
Removed from rat races,
And those who sniff conflicts.
I've learned my lessons...
And have found for me what fits!
I'm through with that kind of messing around,
And those who take those 'trips'.

Dah deedee dah dah doo!
Dah dee dah.
Dah dee dah,
Dah dee dah...
Dah deedee dah dah doo!
Dah dee dah..
Dee dee dah dah dah doo!

Do The Sheep

Go to bed.
You sleepy head.
No need to stay awake,
'Cause your not hearing one word I've said.

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-baaa-bah.
Oh no.
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-baaa-bah.

Go to sleep.
Count the sheep.
Maybe your snoring will keep others,
From pretending they are dead.

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-baaa-bah.
Thi s-I-know.
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-baaa-bah.

You might as well pack up your ears with cotton.
The things I've said to you they are forgotton.
You've got me feeling like I'm rotten.
And...

Go to bed.
You sleepy head.
No need to stay awake,
'Cause your not hearing one word I've said.

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-baaa-bah.
No- you-don't.
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-baaa-bah.
You might as well pack up your ears with cotton.
The things I've said to you they are forgotton.
You've got me feeling like I'm rotten.
And...

Maybe your snoring will keep others,
From pretending they are dead.

And count the sheep.

Truth Hurts

Truth Hurts"
[Intro]
Yeah umm
See its situations like this
That causes us players to get caught up
In umm the truth
Yeah
What you doing, where you been?
I paged you and you aint hit me back
I been callin and I know you see my number on that caller I.D.
Just listen to the words
[Verse 1]
I got reason to believe that youve been foolin around
The way you feel, the past you lived
The things you did
It dont matter to me
For what its worth just dont lie to me
Cause that aint what I need right now
Baby, everything we built on trust
Youre tearing it down
Cause I know the truth hurts {truth hurts}
[Chorus]
Tell me the truth now
What cha been doing and who
Ya been doing it with {truth hurts}
Where you been going and
How you been putting ya thing down {truth hurts}
Whatever youz was working I
Hope that it was worth it baby {truth hurts}
I got reason to believe that you been foolin around
[Verse 2]
Girl, Im really tryin hard to understand
I want to move on and put it in the past
Cause, you claim that you aint doin nothing
Must be my insecurities
Its got the best of me right now
What I know I cant hold it inside of me
Its gonna drive me insane
[Chorus]
Tell me the truth now
What cha been doing and who
Ya been doing it with {truth hurts}
Where you been going and
How you been putting ya thing down {truth hurts}
Whatever youz was working I
Hope that it was worth it baby {truth hurts}
I got reason to believe that you been foolin around

Beroop Bah Doo Doo Dop...Boo Dah. Ow

You got the better of the best than the rest...
And you keep them guessing,
Who's got the lesser heat?
They stand up on their feet to see.

Even if connected and you show them it's not hectic...
While you keep on stepping,
They stare in disbelief.
They'd like to slap you with a penalty.

They choose to boot you as a pooper.
They want a scoop...
To loop on the news.

They wish to swish a dishing duper.
And they don't like that groove...
You are moving too smooth.

You got the better of the best than the rest...
And you keep them guessing,
Who's got the lesser heat?
They stand up on their feet to see.

Bah doo doo dop, boo dah...
Dah dah.
Bah doo doo dop, boo dah...
Dah dah.
Bah doo doo dop, boo dah...

Bah doo doo dop, boo dah...
Dah dah.

You got the better of the best than the rest...
And you keep them guessing,
Who's got the lesser heat?
They stand up on their feet to see.

While you keep on stepping,
They stare in disbelief.
They'd like to slap you with a penalty.

Cracklin Rosie

Yea, cracklin rosie, get on board.
Were gonna ride til there aint no more to go.
Takin it slow, lord dont you know,
Happily a time when the poor mans let be
Hitchin on a twilight train,
Aint nothin here that I care to take along,
Maybe a song to sing when Im long,
Dont mean to say please, said old man, Im happy too.
Oh, I love my rosie child, you got the way to make me happy.
You and me, we go in style.
Cracklin rose, youre a store-bought woman,
You make me sing like a guitar hummin.
Hang on to me, girl, our song keeps runnin on.
Play it now, play it now, play it now my lady!
Cracklin rosie, make me smile.
Darlin if lasts for an hour well thats alright we got all night
To set the world right.

Under Pressure

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Thats o-kay!
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love
But its so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure were cracking
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love one more chance?
Why cant we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause loves such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure

THE YOUNG MASTER ASKS FOR A STORY

Whut you say, dah? huh, uh! chile,
You 's enough to dribe me wile.
Want a sto'y; jes' hyeah dat!
Whah' 'll I git a sto'y at?
Di'n' I tell you th'ee las' night?
Go 'way, honey, you ain't right.
I got somep'n' else to do,
'Cides jes' tellin' tales to you.
Tell you jes' one? Lem me see
Whut dat one's a-gwine to be.
When you 's ole, yo membry fails;
Seems lak I do' know no tales.
Well, set down dah in dat cheer,
Keep still ef you wants to hyeah.
Tek dat chin up off yo' han's,
Set up nice now. Goodness lan's!
Hol' yo'se'f up lak yo' pa.
Bet nobidy evah saw
Him scrunched down lak you was den--
High-tone boys meks high-tone men.

Once dey was a ole black bah,
Used to live 'roun' hyeah some whah
In a cave. He was so big
He could ca'y off a pig
Lak you picks a chicken up,
Er yo' leetles' bit o' pup.
An' he had two gread big eyes,
Jes' erbout a saucer's size.
Why, dey looked lak balls o' fiah
Jumpin' 'roun' erpon a wiah
W'en dat bah was mad; an' laws!
But you ought to seen his paws!
Did I see 'em? How you 'spec
I 's a-gwine to ricollec'
Dis hyeah ya'n I 's try'n' to spin
Ef you keeps on puttin' in?

Less I 'll sen' you off to sleep.

No one could n't have a fa'm
But dat bah 'u'd do' em ha'm;
And dey could n't ketch de scamp.

Do his du't an' come on back.

Bah bah bah da da da
Bah bah bah bah bah da da da da
Bah bah bah da da da
Welcome friends to janices party
The kind that others have tried
Smoking is permitted inside
We have faith in janices party
With friends who can not sing
And I can hear the doorbell ring
Well I came this far
Now I know that I wont sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janices partys alright, alright
Bah bah bah bah bah da da da da
Bah bah bah da da da
Bah da da da da da da
Heres a chip a vodka martini
Someone call me a car
Ill be underneath the bar
Well I came this far
Now I know that I wont sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janices partys alright, alright
(break)
Well I came this far
Now I know that I wont sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janices partys alright, alright

UR LUHV*by Nikki Minaj

Shawty I'm a only tell you this once,
you're the illest
(bah ba dah dah oh)
And for your lovin' I'm a Die Hard like Bruce Willis
(bah ba dah dah oh)
You got spark, you, you got spunk
You, you got something
all the girls want
You're like a candy store
And I'm a toddler
You got me wantin' more
and mo mo more and

Your love, your love (yeah) [x4]

Your love, your love [x4]

[Verse 1: ]
Yo(yo)
He the type to pop tags and be cockin the brim
Might breeze through The Ave, might stop at the gym
And he keep a du rag, keep his wave on swim
Wa waves on swim so they hate on him
Anyway I think I met him sometime before
In a different life or where I recall
I mean he was Adam, I think I was Eve
But my vision ends with the apple on the tree
'S' on my chest cause I'm ready to save him
Cause I'm the one like I'm Tracy McGrady
And I think I love him like Eminem call us Shady
When he call me mama, lil mama, I call him baby

[Chorus: ]
Shawty I'm a only tell you this once,
you're the illest
(bah ba dah dah oh)
And for your lovin' I'm a Die Hard like Bruce Willis
(bah ba dah dah oh)
You got spark, you, you got spunk
You, you got something all the girls want
You're like a candy store
You're like a candy store and I'm like a toddler
You got me wantin' more
and mo mo more and

Your love, your love(yeah) [x4]

Your love, your love [x4]

(yo, yo yo yo)

Running Away

Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running,
But ya cant run away from yourself
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself.
Ya must have done (must have done),
Sometin wrong (something wrong).
Said: ya must have done (must have done),
Wo! sometin wrong (something wrong).
Why you cant find the
Place where you belong?
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away).
Every man thinketh his
Burden is the heaviest (heaviest).
Every man thinketh his
Burden is the heaviest (heaviest).
Ya still mean it: who feels it knows it, lord;
Who feels it knows it, lord;
Who feels it knows it, lord;
Who feels it knows it, lord.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away.
Ya running and ya running
But ya cant run away from yourself.
Could ya run away from yourself?
Can you run away from yourself?
Cant run away from yourself!
Cant run away from yourself!
Yeah-eah-eah-eah - from yourself.
Brr - you must have done sometin -
Sometin - sometin - sometin -
Sometin ya dont want nobody to know about:
Ya must have, lord - sometin wrong,
What ya must have done - ya must have done sometin wrong.
