She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance
So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance She was older but rich beyond compare She'd drop a thousand dollars at the saloon just 2 get her hair did He was good at compliments, better in the bunk She laced him with a crib in Paris, he hipped her 2 the funk Way 2 fine he was 4 her A dirty dog in expensive fur As long as she's providing chips and whips We can do this funky thang As long as she was playing the host He figured he would make the most of them hips and lips He hooked her up, rocked her coast 2 coast Ugly ... So ugly, rich beyond compare She's dropped a couple hundred thousand dollars on a silver whip Just 2 match the color of her hair She said "Eye got plenty of what U need. Put the spoon down honey, c'mon, let mama feed U" She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Where was Eye? Oh yeah ... A gentleman he was He never spoke about her nose So prominent because in the dark it'd glow If she was only tan instead of so lily white Her name was Doris but he called her "Fluo" As in "Rescent" - That ain't right Fluorescent every night A situation bound 2 fail As sure a Doris' skin was pale Money might talk, but what does it say? U better get busy if U wanna get paid "Boy, Eye was fine back in the day" She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? That's the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Now, dance Dance He spent her money oh so well Take a bath in cold Kristal He took a trip 2 burn an old flame in 'Frisco, like wow But Doris caught him in her arms She shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm" Just put Ur name on this pre-nup and we can all hit the disco She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Now, dance Dance |

Call, call my name
Call it, call my name I heard Ur voice this morning calling out my name It had been so long since I heard it that it didn't sound quite the same, no But it let me know that my name had never really been spoken b4 B4 the day I carried U through the bridal path door And ever since that day I haven't wanted anyone but U And anybody who really knows me knows the truth I just can't stop writing songs about U I love U so much I just can't wait 2 get my arms around U And feel Ur touch If I don't c U real soon baby girl I might go insane I know it's only been about 3 hours But I love it when U call my name I heard a voice on the news saying people want 2 stop the war If they had a love as sweet as U they'd 4get what they were fighting 4 What's the matter with the world 2day? The land of the free? Somebody lied They can bug my phone and people 'round my home They'll only c U and me making love inside I just can't stop writing songs about U I love U so much I just can't wait 2 get my arms around U And feel Ur touch If I don't c U real soon baby girl I might go insane I know it's only been about 3 hours But I love it when U call my name I've never seen the moon look so lovely as the night I saw it with U It let me know I'd never seen the moon b4 So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws But 2 compare it 2 a beauty like Urs would give 1 pause Nothing about U is false, that's why Ur love is real God 4bid if U belonged 2 another I'd have 2 steal U I'd have 2 take U from Ur man I might b tempted 2 break the law round here Because Ur beauty, it gives 1 pause It slows me down I just can't stop writing songs about U I love U so much I just can't wait 2 get my arms around U And feel Ur touch If I don't c U real soon baby girl I might go insane I know it's only been about 3 hours But I love it when U call my name |

As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray never heard a prayer like this 1 Never b4 that day Tearful words of love4 people she had never met b4 Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this face of a holy war Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage Never knew the meaning of color lines 911 turned that all around When she got accused of this crime So be gan the mass illusion What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl Don't cry don't shed no tears 1 night won't make us feel Cause we know how this movie's ending Cinnamon Girl As war drums beat in Babylon And scorch the blood red sky Militants bomb the foreign gun Both sides truly die Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores Then she prays after the war that there will not b anymore Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl |

What's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better Show me what the leaders say Maybe we should write a letter Said Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand Why poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping hand Matthew 5:5 say "The meek shall inherit the earth" We wanna b down that way but U been trippin since the day of your birth Who said that 2 kill is a sin Then started every single war that Ur people been in? Who said that water is a precious commodity Then dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea? Who told me, Mr. Man, that working round the clock would buy me a big housed in the hood Cigarette ads on every block Who told me, Mr. Man, that Eye got a right 2 moan? How about this big old hole in the ozone? What's wrong with the world 2day Things just got 2 get better Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand Maybe we should write a letter Listen, ain't no sense in voting - same song with a different name Might not b in the back of the bus but it sure feel just the same Ain't nothing fair about welfare Ain't no assistance in AIDS We ain't that affirmative about your actions until the people get paid Ur thousand years r up Now U got 2 share the land Section 1 - the 14th amendment says "No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" Mr. Man, we want 2 end this letter with 3 words We tired oy'all |

2 sevens together
Like time, indefinite Trying to catch the glass Before it falls Without a frown Can you turn up the stereo? I wanna play you this old song about love (is it about love?) Can I do that? Did we remember to water the plants today? I forgot to look up at the moon because I was too busy, said I was too busy I was too busy Looking at you babe Still it's nice to know That, uh when bodies wear out We can get another What does that one thing have to do with the other one? I don't know I was just thinking about my mother You know what Turn the stereo back down Ain't nothing worse than an old worn out love song Tell me do you like my hair this way Remember all the way back in the day When we would compare who's afro was the roundest Mirrored tiles above the bed Fishing nets and posters all over the wall Oh yes, sometimes Sometimes i just wanna go sit out on the stool And uh... play my guitar Just watch all... all the cars go by... |
