[Cee-Lo]
I don't know what you came to do
(I don't know what you came to do)
But I came to get this thang crunk for you
(But I came to get this thang crunk for you)
And I don't know who you came to see
(And I don't know who you came to see)
But ain't another muthafucker bad like me
(But ain't another muthafucker bad like me)
Wait a minute
Hey, get up, cause...
I'm a bad muthafucker (4X)
Refrain:
[Female Voice]
You think you bad
You really think you bad
[Cee-Lo]
Well I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad
LyricsAnd I know I'm bad
[Female Voice]
Gotdammit you think you bad
You really think you bad
[Cee-Lo]
Well I'm bad, I'm bad
But don't get mad
What can I say that you don't already know
I stay dead fresh all the way to the floor
I ain't never ever been beaten before
You get a bullet hole in your soul fuckin' with Lo
I'm from Southwest whip a Jaguar S 1100
Crucifix on my chest
I could just stand still and shine like glass
I got a mansion sittin' on 10 acres of grass
I cannot stop
I will not quit
And nigga don't like it
Got to deal with it
Don't cross the line shawty let me be
I got 100 niggas a kill 'bout me
Yes y'all
Yes muthafuck the rest
If you lookin' for the shit SugaBaby the best
You can talk all you want but betta not touch
You can't handle me
Ho, I'm just too much
Rock
(Refrain)
I'm one of a kind
I can read your mind
Give soul to a stick
And sight to the blind
I can make the sun shine in the pouring rain
I can even make the dead breath life again
I can walk on water
Take off and fly
I'm a bad muthafucka
I ain't gone lie
My mother is nature
This is why
And my father is God
We got a house in the sky
I can touch your heart
I can soothe your soul
I can give your body warmth
In the freezing cold
I can give you joy
When life got you low
I can take away the pain and you'll hurt no more
I can make every dream you got come true
When you believing in me
You believing in you
And one last thing
So you don't forget
You got to be bad as hell to do that shit
Rock
(Refrain)
Clap yo hand in the air like this
Boogie down and stomp just twist
Don't dare miss a minute of this
This the funk that you can't resist
Wave your hands high in the air
Boogie down like you just don't care
After I'm done you will agree
Even a blind man can see
That I'm a bad muthafucker
. . .

Mm hmm
Ok, Ok
Yeah
Y'all thought I lost it
[Verse One: Cee-Lo]
In no fashion have I lost my passion for the pen
It's just that lately life has been a lost less inspirin
To tell you the truth trials and tribulations is very tirin
I gotta play a little game of gimmick and gunfirin
I'm not aspirin to be any lower or higher than,
I get equal as in eye to eye again
I'm the truth, I'm complicated I'm all ready but try again
I've got to die once to never ever die again
And what I believe within I engrave within my skin
And one thang that I ain't is a saint without a sin
How could there be a now if there never was a then?
That is unbalanced just like the yang without the yen
I am distinguishably deeper as opposed to the paper-thin
And I breathe oxygen, and you rhymin bout rocks again
You stagnant, standing still enough to feel the world spin
LyricsI'm beginning to smell the end in the path of the blowing wind
Hopefully I'm fortunate enough to spend forever with a friend
I'm slow dancing with destiny every day until then
When I first got my big break I said that I would never bend
And discredit my character to keep up or contend
And my belief beat baseline secrete such a special blend
I am not like them at all and I cannot pretend
I am not like you at all and I cannot pretend.
[Hook]
DAMN
That shit was funky
You heard that nigga?
DAMN
Shawty Lo
(yup, c'mon)
[Verse Two: Cee-Lo]
I get off on an extension or compare comprehension
I'm in a classroom of my own, I'm too far gone for competition
Yet I'm never obnoxious with my obvious ambition
Perfectly imperfect is my dimension's definition
I engage my pen pierces the page so that it bleeds my intention
With honorable mention of God's divine intervention
I'm incredible I'm inevitable and there's no possible prevention
I'll hardly (have to) scream my dream and I'll have your undivided attention
The powers that be will be beaten into submission
And you will be able to see my revolution on television
You'll get an aneurysm fuckin around with my head on collision
With the power to get you dead and half the dead risen
I remember when my development was arrested
I was doin time on my mind misguided and misdirected
I was sick, so sick if I spoke to you you'd be infected
Then my conscience was cleared of all charges and I came out corrected
Reinvented, refined, replenished and well rested
On a mission for a medium to manifest the thoughts I collected
After that everything I breathed upon, I blessed it
I committed crimes of passion and my soul was suspected
But it was thrown out of court because of course the Creator and I connected
He told me, "fear not for thou art protected. Your life is being requested
And you are being tested, so make every attempt you can to expect the unexpected."
[Hook]
Mm mm mm
Boy that Lo boy
DAMN
Oh Lawd
Cee-Lo why you do it like that?
You aint have to bustin all like that, man
Makin these lil rappers feel like they can't rap
DAMN
I got some more, I got some more if you want some.
[Verse Three: Cee-Lo]
I am internally evolving entirely
Extensive eclectic expression eloquently
Instantly innovative, Courageously creative
I'm driven, this God given gift it comes naturally to the native
Not a need for the dramatics or the systematic
Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics
The mastermind of the mighty mystical and magical moves
And metaphors manifests masterpieces
Thoroughly fury through the inner mind's eye establishes this syn-thesis
Of these innermost, insightful, intriguing interpretations of extreme intelligence
My commonsense is no co-incidence
Caution: competitors approach carefully
I'm able to see
Rare ranges of distance, I expect respect
There's no tolerance for negligence, never
You'll forever
Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry, permanently
Pre-meditative, political, critical, compellin, story-tellin
Defining desire, faith fuelin the fire
Brilliance, ?? philosophical, psychological willingly waging warfare,
Withstandin, commandin, demandin the listening ears to hear what God's forcin
Instead endorsin education. Equality, not hate
Just revolution of the mind state
Note mere words but emotions
Which is essential, influential provin my people's potential
Militancy, innocence, insight, listen to God then write
Since my birth date I been tight!
Shit
[Hook]
Now I don't want never hear nobody else say
goddamn a nigga from the South can't rhyme
NEVER!
DAMN
Hehehe...Now can I do my shit??
. . .

Yeah.. ooh..
You so freaky..

Ooh you so freaky..
Shit, you so freaky shorty..

Mmm uh, you so freaky shorty..
HAH HAH!!
[Cee-Lo]
Now everybody that's grown like a skeleton bone that got hidden away
Yes y'all, there's a freak in us all, that some true not say
You can't let those who ain't yet, make you they lil' ball of clay
Be free and express yourself and let this come natural-lay
Listen to me now
It could be the way I want it, (?) tattoos or the way I dress
Or it could be; I wanna walk my way and refusin to follow the rest
Or when people haven't been where you been
and they say you still going too far
Or when you wit ya girl and
LyricsPull over and fuck somethin in the back of the car
[Hook]
I'm a freak!
A closet freak!
A freak!
Awwww a freak!
[Cee-Lo after each pause in hook]
I'm so excited, go on and say it
Oh I'm a freak, yes I'm a freak, and just can't hide it
I'm so excited, go on and say it
If you a freak, say you a freak, don't try to hide it
[Cee-Lo]
You got to let the music freak your mind
All the way, if yo' brain leavin don't mind
You know a boyfriend thing is hard to find
Get on the floor mama and bump and grind
Ain't nuttin wrong wit - You only gon' get
But it ain't no fun if ya freakin all the mo'nin
I'll tell you one clue - If you want you gon' do it
All you got to do is find somebody like you
[Hook]
A freak!
A closet freak!
A freak!
Awwww a freak!
[Cee-Lo after each pause in hook]
I'm so excited, go on and say it
Oh I'm a freak, yes I'm a freak, and just can't hide it
I'm so excited, go on and say it
If you a freak, say you a freak

(chorus x8) Super Chicken
(Verse 1)
Listen now, I got a story to tell
About a bird who wanted to fly away
You see he knew that he could and he probably would
But his family said they needed him to stay
But his spirit is strong and he's been waiting so long
And he don't really want nobody to tell him daddy wrong
So excuse me I wanna go and kiss the sky
Cause these wings that I was given were inteded to fly
(chorus x8)
(Verse 2)
Everybody mad at lil' ol' me
Cause I ain't the same bird I used to be
Oh but if you had a dream, something you wanted to do
I sure wouldn't be the one to keep it from you
(singing)
LyricsI can't let nobody hold me down
This is my life and that's my sky
I was born to fly
(chorus x8)
(Verse 3)
Look it here
This is nothing I should fear
This should down and disappear
I done lost my fear
I don't know if you seen what I saw
But I hope someday you'll see it my way
I believe
I believe
I can breath
I believe I can find some happiness
I know that ya watch me grow but don't worry 'bout me
Cause I'm gonna be ok
I wanna sing, wanna dance, wanna scream, wanna shout
I wanna be everything I am
I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's child no more
I'm a full grown man
I used to wonder if I could
If I would
If I should and I know I got to know
And now three ain't no doubt in my mind
I can do it, I can do it, I know I can
(chorus x8)
(singing)
If I couldn't fly
I might well die
Let me go human, can't go hold my hand no more
Let me go
Let me be, set me free
Let me go
(chorus x8)
(more singing)
(chorus x20,fading until end)

Yeah, mmm mmm mmm, yeah that sure feel good
Hello, I go by the name of simply Cee-Lo Green
How do you do? Welcome. I thought I'd seize this
Opportunity to tell you a little bit more about
Myself if you don't mind. This is my vision
You know what I'm saying? Check me out now. Uh
I have millenniums of material and rivers of rhythm
An entire ocean of emotion that's enlightening to swim in
Also a forest of feeling, beaten paths of peace
Trapped inside my silhouette I have to speak to release
Demanding more from the pen than I horde from the pen
The line between playing to win and sin is thin
But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste
I am that raw, simply put, and I rest my case
It's elementary, yet far more
The resources that pay the rent for me
Everything that I've done is divine
Ask God, he'll tell ya, yeah, he mine
So, you see, you don't need to bug the fuck out of me
That is the last thing I plan to be on this LP
LyricsBut I'm a slip into something more comfortable and continue the lesson
No inconvenience at all, I insist on leaving an impression
So relax, and ride out. Relax, okay, and ride out
Just relax, and ride out. Players, relax, and ride out
I also solicit visual verbalism worth a visit
Intensely exquisite artism inquire all. Who is it?
It's a deliciously daring delicacy I eat to exist
Oh, he's waving those words, I want seconds and thirds
Oh, hush. That's awful kind of you, you're making me blush
I could use some competition, but they're not making me much
Man, this beat is like my master, it's making me bust
Hip-hop is suffering, meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing
But you like every other rapper - corn roles and a bandanna
But I get a hundred and fifty thousand dollar check every three months
off Santana
Don't you fuck up, though, my family is the whole side of Atlanta
Now, how can I say? Okay, let me just put it this way -
If anyone ever contests my conquest my gun best
Yo, son, just takes one time to be one less
Till you run and tell the rest that I'm the best
I sang sweet, but brang heat to bang meat, we all on the same street
And it's not that often I verbalize the essential element of surprise
I am not one of these thug rapper guys. But this one will help you realize
And use both eyes to recognize
the type of action that this amount of money buys
Now listen son, let me drop some shit on you man, I can just
"do-do-do-do-do-do-do"
And put a hit on you man
with hot heat that will make your heart beat quit on you man
And Mr. Dawson will find a pretty box to fit all you man
So relax, and ride out. Just relax, young man, and ride out
Hey, you better relax, and ride out. Okay? Just relax, and ride out
I could take that shit all day
But if I only had sixteen more bars to live
I'd get high, and hopefully O.D. on an alternative
I'd give a dim lit dream, a colour scheme
And I'd swim for the sun (so far) no matter how impossible that may seem
I'd bury my feet in the foundation of a forest Becoming one with
everything there
I would be long. I would be right and wrong. But I'd be rare
And then I would pretend I didn't care. Use my fear
And pray that my forever would be fare.
And I love you all, unconditional, I get misty already missing y'all
And then I forgive those who rhyme to kill the time
While mine cultivate the consciousness and
Chill the spine, heal the mind, yet still sublime
Ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out
This is one for the road. Yeah. One time for your motherfucking mind
I told how you motherfucking play. D.F. y'all. Believe this. Yeah
Shouts out to Outkast, Goodie Mob. Yeah, Backbone, where ya at brother?
(Hey) Hahaha. Alright. (Easy now) Hahaha. Yeah. Can't nobody stop me now
No, sir. Yeah. I'm gone, y'all. Oh, man. It's lovely. Ahahah. Yeah
Somebody better stop me. Hahaha. Cause I'm good. Heheheheh. Yeah. Hahahahah
Alright now. Heheheh. Yeah. Alright, we gonna relax, cause it feels so good
Everybody doing their godamn thing. Yeah

In your mind...
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
Let me caress your consciousness
Want you to taste the thought of me
Is your imagination aroused
It ought to be
Let me seduce your soul
With every word I say
Oooo, Wait on my love
It's on its way
Whoa, may I have this dance
Your dreams and destiny
You've got years to yearn
Please say yes to me
Baby believe, believe and it will be
Prepare yourself
LyricsI promise you'll remember me
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
Love has lost its compassion
But no I won't commit that crime
I'd rather leave an impression
That will last your whole lifetime
You see I go deeper
Instead of standing in the shallow end
I want to please my partner
I want to fuck my friend
I want to be inside you, literally
Girl I want to use you, habitually
Was all the waiting worth it
Soon we will see
I want to remember you
And I want you to remember me
I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind
(Cee-Lo speaks)
"I want to eat your emotion
And lick your life line"
"You can search your lifetime
And not find a love like mine"
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........she's sleeping

Or we can boogy-oogy down
Til' the morning light (Show your ride)
LyricsSay lil' momma I usually don't clown
Usually sit smoke a lil' bit or drink some brown liqour down
But see it's something bout the way you make a playa wanna play
So grab your glass of chardonnay and now lets go dance the night away
[Chorus]
Shawty shake it (shake it shake it)
Shake your sugar for me (shake it shake it)
(repeat 7X)
[Backbone]
Now let me introduce myself
Call me Jimmy Supa-fly
I say working them to death (Punches thrown)
You hear the linen in the falling in place
Tip-toe through the door then vacant the premesis without a trace (Oh lord)
Pardon me please, excuse my negligence
But to what do I owe the honor standing
In the presence of elignece in its essence
Simply beautiful are the words you deserve
My lil' peanut butter jelly jam preserve
[Chorus]
[Cee-Lo]
I like the way you wear you hair (Your hair)
And girl you know you look so good to me
Wait a minute girl stand right there (God damn)
You know you look so good to me
And you still gonna pay your fare
Because you know you look so good to me
Call me anytime I dont care
Because you look so good to me
Shawty let me see you shake it
[Chorus]
[Big Gipp]
yeah
76 degrees night light Gippp
Mrs. Lady I get you out the cryer like a florist pick a tulip
She pursuaded my intervention
Kept my attention
Focusing in on every motion body
That is more blowing me kisses
Chocalate chip cookie lover
Who taught you how to shake that
Candy bows so loveley I could watch it for many moons in the same room
Cus' soon than it tied by your sexual foreplay
Girl.. shake it for me c'mon
[Chorus]

Hey
Little boy you got a lot of stay
You have to fall inevitibly
And I've sure come a long way
The road up ahead is so unclear
Back slidin down the bottom of beer
Nobody knew if I would make it here
Sweet music set me free
From ....... started to be
I wish my mama was alive to see
The memories of pain have scarred
And when I fall it's usually hard
But I get up and keep followin' God
Hey, I'm Gettin' grown, (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown
I'm Gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown, hey
Now I remember the good ol' days
LyricsBroads and boxes and blunts to blaze
Now I got three children to raise
I never won't be perfect I know,
But workin on it is worse than I know,
Life is just learning as you go
Been selfish once or twice
I had to how learn to sacrifice
So here's to my late nighters be nice
Every day that goes by I find
It eithers hits me or robs you blind
Gotta owe ya this life of mine
I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown,
I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown
(whistling)
Oooo, time changed but it feels the same,
There's no tellin what tommorow will bring,
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang
Hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay
But thanks for wakin' me up today
Prepare me for what may come my way
Say, young man, there's no need to cry
Because I know you will get by
Look your destiny in the eye
Everyday my heart burns to try
You got to walk before you learn to fly
And we all got to earn to die
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
(fade)

Bass Head Jazz...
Bass Head
Feel like I'm walkin' across the sky
Getting high on Bass Head Jazz
The world is spinning so slow
We ain't got nowhere to go
Bass Head
Let your mind be free
Enter a new zone of understanding
Gotta get high to get down
Feel like I'm walkin' across the sky
Getting high on Bass Head Jazz

feat. Jahalla, Kirkland Underwater
Shocka locka...
[Cee-Lo]
Shit, behold it is me, it is the epitome of extraterrestrial energy
Experiment and enter the internals of the inner me
The art of gone, and heart of stone, and own's worst enemy
Intellect shapeshifta, God's gift a Soul slippa
Hone in on clones and blow them out of my zone
International Fanatical, the radical tactical movements
Sounds are congruent to it
Work
It is what it ain't to these, infected disease
Thought of automatons deceived, by the deceptions indeed
Who mechanically breed at methodical speeds
Distorting your genes, aborting your dreams
As coarse as it seems
LyricsAiyyo, Work
[Cee-Lo]
I could scream, I can't seem to sleep long enough to dream
It's life on a laser beam
But I fiend for the future at my finger tips
One of the minor technicalities of my head trips
You Better Work
The Barea Soul terror, been told since stories of old
Come on let's go and then I'll show how to beat down a rhyme
And wrestle a tempo
Hold on tight, but still let yourself go
Work
This is what I'm talking about
Should I begin to spit it just like the wind
Show my power take flight and quickly ascend
Like a bird beating my wings to the pulse of nature
Scaring spiritual devils while evoking the maker
Is it wrong for me to curse in the name of right
Is it wrong for me to spit life into this mic
That's all I'm asking baby
How come the new millennium brings fright
Something wicked approaches tonight
Work
It's automatic, static battle star galactic
Microhard
It's the upgraded, complicated, premeditated
Microhard
It's the transplanted, peaceful panic, bass mechanic
Microhard
It's the psychotic, mean melodic, nod-narcotic
Microhard
(repeat)
What good is a call on the phone if you can't speak
And you find it hard to breathe
Paralyzed by my essence, mere presence I put forth
Inherently legends record all souls of expressions
Evil as evil does, better than good was
A spirit of music that once was, born out of the pool of your love
Baby I'm an agent with a flow that's so contagious
And all and all true patience, my brotha Lo told me makes for perfection
while you feeling bound by this matrix
That's why when it comes to protecting mine
I'm a brother you can call over zealous
And I lust and thrust out my staff and wet
Till the motherfuckin' rains get jealous
You Gotta Work
It's not coincidental I use my soul for a stencil to outline the rhyme
that connects machine and a mind
Until the end of time the one my kind, the message will now be profoundly
spoken, rules are meant to be broken, therefore it's my pleasure to mentor
But once learned you must learn you must yearn to discern
The mechanical glitch of artificial intelligence
But the consequence of your ignorance is the reality I now see before me:
"maybe in time we'll see"
Don't Stop, Work
The degree you'll see will 'cause casualty when the codes download
The truth will unfold uphold until the end
'Cause our destiny will be to win, you're still free to sin within
It's automatic, static battle star galactic
Microhard
It's the upgraded, complicated, premeditated
Microhard
It's the transplanted, peaceful panic, bass mechanic
Microhard
It's the psychotic, mean melodic, nod-narcotic
Microhard
(repeat)
[Cee-Lo]
I am the melody, the metaphoric prehistoric
The pre-meaning before it, preparing for war shit
Their god's only a graphic, the sky's computer blue
There is a moral malfunction, what will the machine do to you
They maliciously monopolize the mass
Niggas sleep rap and fuck they surprise you last
when you sell them your soul they supply you cash
But you can die for all they care, with your expendable ass
Because they know a new nigga, a brand new nigga
Will jump right in them tap shoes even if his feet bigger
Ain't shit sweet nigga, it's deeper than the street nigga
You and I just a virus they gonna delete nigga
Some people say go on and join what you can't beat nigga
I won't take the mark so I can't eat nigga
Holla if I'm talking to ya, (AH!)
I'll walk straight through ya
'Cause I want the motherfucker that did this to ya
Work
It's automatic, static battle star galactic
Microhard
It's the upgraded, complicated, premeditated
Microhard
It's the transplanted, peaceful panic, bass mechanic
Microhard
It's the psychotic, mean melodic, nod-narcotic
Microhard
(repeat)
Our comrade Cee-Lo is considered by many as a modern day Neo
And opposing forces known as agents will like him dead for what he know
He is The One, at least that's who Morpheus say he is
He can free the mind of a machine and give God to an atheist
But he's a daydreamer, it's all in his head
Still today's music has become the Matrix
and the real rhythm is in the red pill
So I chose it knowing I can never return once I'm gone
And I hope you got this message
I'll be waiting by the phone
It's automatic, static battle star galactic
Microhard
It's the upgraded, complicated, premeditated
Microhard
It's the transplanted, peaceful panic, bass mechanic
Microhard
It's the psychotic, mean melodic, nod-narcotic
Microhard
(repeat)

Well...
I'm a species so rare the human eye's hardly seen
A thin line between divine and killing machine
A dark side of the light that no one should ever see
Oh, I feel for the foolish for fucking with me
There is a war inside me but the water is still
You'll be safer every time assuming it will,
But to lose my composure I don't normally do,
I just thought that you should know
I've been sicker than you
You don't know me
A record can't tell ya
Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender
(repeat)
You say you want my pain,
My own personal pain
A lot hurt, heartache, and hard times it's hard to explain
I can feel the anger starting to happen again
LyricsI'd bust your head and break your brain for five minutes of fame
A-ha ha
My heart beats with unconditional love
But beware of the blackness that it's capable of
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
You got to travel the road of a troubled soul
I'm trying so hard not to lose control
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
You don't know me
A record can't tell ya
Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender
(repeat)
They said in life you shouldn't worry
Just got to let the wind blow
Ha, ha, ha
You see every day I'm struggling
For the strength to let it go
Ha, ha, ha
You don't know me
A record can't tell ya
Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender
(repeat)

Well I'm extremely cheap
I snore when I go to sleep
The little bit of nothin have left
I'm strugglin trying to keep
Your friends may all agree
You could name a million things I'll never be
If you feel like flyin feel free
You know that you could do better than me
I'm a simple man
I'm doing everything I can
When God sent you my way
It was the moment my life began
You stood by me through the storm
Well I was hopin you'd have my hand
I wish I understood how you were strong enough to undestand
Cuz see no one is crazy enough to love me but you
Never thought myself as much to see
Material things don't mean much to me
A good father, husband, and workin man
Are sometimes so much to see
Lyrics
And all them bills are due
I can't afford to buy you nothing new
We don't talk like we used to
I know that loving me is hard on you
But you know I try
You are the completion of I
As long as we're in love
I'll never be ready to die
We've come such a long way
And sometimes I want to ask you why
You continue to be the only star in my entire sky
Because no one is crazy enough to love me but you
You see, girl you know I try
You are the completion of I
As long as we're in love
I'll never be ready to die
We've come such a long way
And sometimes I want to ask you why
You continue to be the only star in my entire sky
But see no one is crazy enough to love me but you
I want to thank you (yeah)

I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving
Came to put the God in your body this evening
You can't run, you can't hide
Buckle in and enjoy the ride
For beyond all space and time
Jump on in y'all we wasting time
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
It's OK, it's alright
Came to put the boogie in your body tonight
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Just grab my hand and hold on tight
I'll be the light that will guide you there
You probably hate me but I hardly care
'Cause if you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
I said a sham a lama, shama a lama ding dong
You put the umm, whaw, whaw
Back into my smile child
LyricsThat is why, that is why
You are the suga didi dip girl
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
Heyyyyyyy, everybody have some fun tonight
You got to give the groove a chance
Don't hesitate the time won't wait
You might not have tomorrow to dance
Now get up, and get down
I didn't come this far to be fucking around
Hey you and you too
Why you over there acting shy
Have a hit and let me get you high
Don't let this feeling pass you by
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing
Sham a lama, shama a lama ding dong
You put the umm, whaw, whaw
Back into my smile child
That is why, that is why
You are the suga didi dip girl
If you can't hang it's an awful thing
Such an awful thing

Hey baby, hey baby
Hi-iiii
Laaaa, ughhhhh
Hey-ey
Hey there young man it seems like your sight's been blinded
Oh how I wish you could see
The very life that you're lived been tailored by many and mixed in ability
Oh I wish you'd do more than just keepin it real
Why don't you try being true?
One song could save the life of the young ones dependin on you
Hey young man
Hey young man I understand why you so angry
I grew up exactly the same
Daddy was gone so you had to find your own way
And he's convenient to blame
Despite those circumstances don't you stop standin
Don't Give up whatever you do
Cause just like you once were now your son's dependin on you
LyricsHey young man
Hey there young man why degrade your only sister
And call them bitches and whores?
What if one day someone feels the same way
About that daughter of yours?
Oh if you had one inkling of an idea
Of what they had to go through
Of course she's strong but she's still depending on you
Hey young man, hey young man
Hold on
Ooooo, oooo
Well well (singing in the background)
Alright y'all
(beat fades out)
