The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!
I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, SEE about me
(Come SEE about me)
SEE about your baby
I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and SEE about me
(Come SEE about me)
SEE about you baby
Sometime's up
Sometime's down
My life's so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep
Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, SEE about me (Come SEE about me)
SEE about you baby (Come SEE about me)
You know I'm so lonely (Come SEE about me)
I love you only (Come SEE about me)
SEE about your baby (Come SEE about me)
Hurry, hurry

When I call you up, your line's engaged
I have had enough, so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't SEE me, you won't SEE me
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say
But I get turned away
And you won't SEE me, you won't SEE me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't SEE me, you won't SEE me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you, it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
I just can't go on
If you won't SEE me, you won't SEE me
You won't SEE me, you won't SEE me
SEE the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet
My, he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by, he's my guy
When he holds my hand, I'm so proud
'Cause he's not just one of the crowd
My baby's always the one to try
the things they've never done
And just because of that, they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should
But just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me, always treats me tenderly
'Cause he's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no, to me
If they don't like him that way
They won't like me after today
I'll be standing right by his side when they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever ever does what he should
Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why we can't share a love
He's always good to me, good to him, I try to be
'Cause he's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no, to me
Oh, he's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no
He's not a rebel, oh, no, no, no

Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy
Girl happy, can't you SEE
Every girl I SEE looks good to me
What crazy way I were to be
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well...
Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy
Girl happy, can't you SEE
Every time I SEE a pretty face
My heart just heads for outer space
I need a girl to make my life worth of living
Yes...
Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy
Girl happy, can't you SEE
I've been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump to joy
Mama keep your daughter out of sight
I'm in a loving mood tonight
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well...
Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy
Girl happy, can't you SEE

Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I SEE you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you, baby
And everything's alright
Everything's alright
When I SEE you smile
I can face the world, oh oh
You know I can do anything
When I SEE you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh
I SEE it shining right through the rain
When I SEE you smile
Baby, when I SEE you smile at me, oh yeah
Baby, there's nothing in this world
That could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it
'Cause you're here with me now
And one look at you, baby
Is all I'll ever need, is all I'll ever need
When I SEE you smile
I can face the world, oh oh
You know I can do anything
When I SEE you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh
I see it shining right through the rain
When I SEE you smile, baby
Baby, when I SEE you smile at me
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you, baby
And everything's alright
Everything's alright, so right
When I SEE you smile
I can face the world, oh oh
You know I can do anything, yeah
When I SEE you smile
I SEE a ray of light, oh oh
I SEE it shining right through the rain, yeah
When I SEE you smile
Yeah, I can face the world, oh oh
You know I can do anything
When I SEE you smile, oh yeah
Baby, when I SEE you smile
Smile at me

Welcome to the camp
I guess you all know why we're here
My name is Tommy
And I became aware this year
If you want to follow me
You've got to play pinball
And put in your ear plugs
Put on your eye shades
You know where to put the cork
Hey you gettin' drunk
So sorry, I got you sussed
Hey you smokin' mother nature
This is a bust
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal
Don't try to gain my trust
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me
Any of those ways
Although you think you must
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it
Gonna shake it
Let's forget it better still
Now you can't hear me
Your ears are truly sealed
You can't speak either
Your mouth is filled
You can't SEE nothing
And pinball completes the scene
Here comes Uncle Ernie
To guide you to
Your very own machine
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We forsake you
Gonna r@pe you
Let's forget you better still
We forsake you
Gonna r@pe you
Let's forget you better still

Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I SEE the glory
From you, I get opinions
From you, I get the story

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small cafe, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

One of my favorites.
Every night
I'm lying in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces
Loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time
On cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
The same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be alright
If I could go on sleeping
But every morning'
I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You SEE it your way
And I SEE it mine
But we both SEE it slippin' away
You know, we always had each other, baby
I guess that wasn't enough
Oh oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin'
Every night and day
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin' (oh oh)
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
Oh, sweet darlin

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can SEE she's a beautiful girl

She holds you captivated in her palm

A big strong tower, yeah

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (all)
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled WATER
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you (ooo)
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
In my life, there's been changes
But nothing seems to satisfy me the way you do, no
You make it easy, the way you please me
Everytime I'm close to you
All this temptation, I can't see wrong from right
It's a new sensation, you know I'm blinded by the light
I'm walking on holy WATER
Feels like I'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(Feels like) I'm walking on holy WATER, everytime (that) you come 'round
You were all I ever wanted
Never had a girl in my life 'til I met you, no no no
I got a certain feeling, you got my senses reeling
Whenever I get close to you
You're my salvation, I found you just in time
My one temptation, you know I can't believe you're mine
I'm walking on holy WATER
Feels like I'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(Feels like) I'm walking on holy WATER, everytime (that) you come 'round
Oh yeah, it's funny how it seems like yesterday
Lovin' of the first degree
One word was all I heard you say, ooh baby
It's funny what you've done to me
Just wanna see you run to me
Yeah, all this temptation, I can't see wrong from right
It's a new sensation, you know I'm blinded by the light
I'm walking on holy WATER
Feels like I'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(Feels like) I'm walking on holy WATER, everytime (that) you come 'round

All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool WATER
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool, water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water
I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I want to know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I want to know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the WATER
Push me in the river, dip me in the WATER
Washing me down, washing me
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more of it
Take me to the WATER, drop me in the river
Push me in the WATER, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all
I want to know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and drop me in the WATER
Dip me in the river, drop me in the WATER
Washing me down, washing me down

How high's the WATER, mama?
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, papa?
She said it's two feet high and risin'
We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
That's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already over all the wheat and oats,
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, papa?
She said it's three feet high and risin'
Well, the hives are gone,
I lost my bees
The chickens are sleepin'
In the willow trees
Cow's in WATER up past her knees,
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, papa?
She said it's four feet high and risin'
Hey, come look through the window pane,
The bus is coin', gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain,
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the WATER, papa?
She said it's five feet high and risin'
Well the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can't come back till the WATER goes down,
Five feet high and risin'
Well, it's five feet high and risin'
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the WATER, fire in the sky
Smoke on the WATER
They burned down the **** house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the WATER, fire in the sky
Smoke on the WATER
We ended up at the Grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the WATER, fire in the sky
Smoke on the WATER

Smoke On The Water sounds like a true story. Does anyone happen to know whether it is?
'The lyrics tell a true story: On 4 December 1971, Purple were in Montreux, Switzerland, to record an album using a mobile recording studio (rented from the Rolling Stones and known as the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio—referred to as the "Rolling truck Stones thing" and "a mobile" in the lyrics) at the entertainment complex that was part of the Montreux Casino (referred to as "the **** house" in the song lyric). On the eve of the recording session, a Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention concert was held in the casino's theatre. This was to be the theatre's final concert before the casino complex closed down for its annual winter renovations, which would allow Deep Purple to record there. At the beginning of Don Preston's synthesizer solo on "King Kong", the place suddenly caught fire when somebody in the audience fired a flare gun toward the rattan covered ceiling, as mentioned in the "some stupid with a flare gun" line.[9][10] Although there were no major injuries, the resulting fire destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bass guitarist Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Purple watched from their hotel. "It was probably the biggest fire I'd ever seen up to that point and probably ever seen in my life" said Glover. "It was a huge building. I remember there was very little panic getting out, because it didn't seem like much of a fire at first. But, when it caught, it went up like a fireworks display." The "Funky Claude" running in and out is referring to Claude Nobs, the director of the Montreux Jazz Festival who helped some of the audience escape the fire. '

On the banks of the river stood runnin' bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little white dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach little white dove, waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't die
Runnin' bear dove in the WATER, little white dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't die

A WATER glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away
Lord, the pieces of my life,
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who
Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the WATER
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Did you have to go to jail,
Put your house up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
And are you shopping anywhere,
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
'Cause since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Did you have a nice birthday?

It is the evening of the day
I sit and WATCH the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and WATCH
As tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and WATCH
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and WATCH the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and WATCH
As tears go by

The boys WATCH the girls while the girls WATCH the boys who WATCH the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, WATCH a guy WATCH a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss
Guys talk girl talk, it happens everywhere
Eyes WATCH girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
What's that sound, each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to WATCH girls by
Guys talk girl talk, it happens everywhere
Eyes WATCH girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
What's that sound, each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to WATCH girls by
The boys WATCH the girls while the girls WATCH the boys who WATCH the girls go by

Who's WATCHING?
Tell me, who's WATCHING?
Who's WATCHING me?
I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight zone and?
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
Tell me is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone, I'm trying to avoid
But can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That's why
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
Who's playing tricks on me?
I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors WATCHING me?
(Who's WATCHING?)
Well, is the mailman WATCHING me?
(Tell me who's WATCHING?)
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
I wonder who's WATCHING me now (who?), the IRS?
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
Tell me is it just a dream?
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's WATCHING me
Who's playing tricks on me?

I've been standing on a corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
At a quarter to eleven
I was WATCHING all the people
Passing by me going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all I see were faces
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I've been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
The love that comes on the corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
My cup runned overflowing
Because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I've been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll WATCH over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who'll WATCH over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to WATCH over me
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to WATCH over me

What's your name is it Jane
Would you mind sitting next to a silly old fool?
It's just I tired of wasting my hours
Talking to trees and WATCHING flowers grow
WATCHING birds chasing bees
Little boys scraping knees
Even my tears have all dried
Can I sit by your side?
Don't misunderstand me
I'm just an old man with no place to go
And if you oblige me and sit here beside me
I'll tell you a story a beautiful story
That you might not know Please don't go
Pardon me mister tree
I hope I didn't offend you before
You are my friend but I wanted much more
But now I'm back once again
Like always before
WATCHING birds chasing bees
Little boys scraping knees
Even my tears have all dried
Can I sit by your side?
Don't misunderstand me
I'm just an old man with no place to go
And if you oblige me and sit here beside me
I'll tell you a story a beautiful story
That you might not know Please don't go
My man is a watch dog, yeah
I don't want no watch dog, I want a man, uh-huh
I don't want no watch dog, I want a man right now
I don't want no man of mine
Everywhere I go, now, he's a-right behind
I don't want no watch dog, I want a man
Every time I visit my girlfriend's house
He sends his baby brother to check me out
I go outside to sweep in my front yard
He stands over me like a prison guard
I've never seen a man sneaking and a-hiding
when he should be out working and providing
He's a watch dog
Yeah, he's a watch dog
Etta James.......

Spray your peeps, smack the baby teeth out your son mouth
Who can stop me? I told shorty I'ma shoot you papi
Caught him in the crapper with the clapper;
While he was doin caci
I'll probably die in jail - make it through life and fry in hell
Either way I'ma lead the way, cause only time'll tell
I rhyme for real, not that imaginary vocabulary
I really will stab you and every one of my adversaries
There's no remorse - f*** these thug n****z, show me the boss
Gimme a hustle worth the risk of goin up North
I love my freedom, and you know I love my bein
So sometimes I gotta get ugh and mug for my per diem
I'll see him in hell, we'll settle it there, better it there
No innocent bystanders to get hit with a spare
Like I really care who catches strays from the Mac
Like I really care who you paid to rap on your track
N**** you wack - you ain't bringing nuttin for us
I got songs with the Devil and Jesus singin on the chorus
You can't ignore us, n**** you know how we roll
Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Can't no comp come at me, this battle the Bronx'll back me
Got the nicest n****z alive talkin bout, "Papi's nasty"
C***y crafty like Rocky sa**y Puerto Rock Apache
Posse not even the cops could catch me
I'm too fast - four-hundred pounds, but I move a**
Soon as you spoke, I already smoked you with two jabs
My game is tight - you want to play, just name your price
Fame to ice, your brains your life, the game is sheist
and I'm the trifest on the field
Even in school I was nominated the most likeliest to kill
This bastard steal, a full clip and a extra
and I'ma blast ya til your whole click respeta
Leave you muerta, it ain't me it's the metra
'tate quieta, the b**** got a bad temper
Don't surrender - you ain't got a chance
You be lucky to leave here half-dead, in an am-bu-lance
So take a chance, but expect the worst
Put my foot so far up your a**
the sweat on my knee'll quench your thirst
