Poor Little Bug

Poor little june bug floatin' in the pond
Poor little june bug not too fond
Of the water that he's floatin' on
For he's caught in a hydrogen bond.

Poor little moth floatin' in a lake
See 'em squirm, see 'em shake
Poor little moth floatin' in a lake
Sure could use a break

Poor little fly floatin' on by
We're watchin' 'em try to fly
Seein' 'em suffer kinda makes me cry
Put that in your stir fry

Poor little june bug floatin' in a fountain
Tryin' to swim's like climbin' a mountain
Poor little bug under a rug
Wish I could give 'em a hug.

This Devil's Workday

All those people that you know.
All those people that you know.
All those people that you know,
floatin' in the river are logs.
I could buy myself a reason.
I could sell myself a job.
I could hang myself on treason.
All the folks I know are gone.
All the people that you know.
All the people that you know.
All the people that you know
floatin' in the river are logs.
So I ate the wedding cake
'til the whole damn thing was gone.
And I'm gonna drown the ocean.
Now ain't none o' that so wrong?
All the people that you know.
All those people that you know.
All those people that you know
floatin' in the river are gone.
Gonna take this sack of puppies.
Gonna set it out to freeze.
Gonna climb around on all fours
'til all the blood falls out my knees.
All the people that you know.
All the people that you know.
All those people that you know
floatin' in the river are logs.
Well let's take this potted plant
to the woods and set it free.
I'm gonna tell the owners
just how nice that was of me.
I could buy myself a reason.
I could sell myself a job.
I could hang myself on treason.
Oh I am my own damn god.
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA

Hollywood Holiday

I rode my motorcycle through a watermelon patch
Right on the california freeway
I took my holy Bible on my blessed boogie woogie drive
Cause I know I know I know
Where I go oh lord theyre gonna bless me jive
Poor you poor me
Poor everybody who buy to be
Poor me poor you
Poor everybody who die to do
I parked my motorcycle on hollywood and vine
And sang till my red blood turned boiling blue
I took my sole survival and bore my cross on a string
Cause I know I know I know
What I dear I bear my charm to king
Poor you poor me
Poor everybody who buy to be
Poor me poor you
Poor everybody who die to do

I Go For Simplicity My Friend

i go for simplicity my friend
because i am poor

i do not go for sophistication
because i am poor

i do not complicate matters
because i am poor

i do not want you to misunderstand
because i am poor

i do not want you to think some more
because i am poor

i do not want to convince you
because i am poor

i do not want you to be with our side
because we are poor

i want all things in their simplified forms
because we cannot afford
any other form of convolutions

we cannot afford another revolution
it will be expensive
and we have no more years to give
to pay for the sponsors

Goin Down

Sock it to me...
Floatin down the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets round
Goin down
Goin down
Coming up for air
Its pretty stuffy under there
Id like to say I didnt care
But I forgot to leave a note
And its so hard to stay afloat
Im soakin wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
Its front page news
Goin down
Goin down
I wish I had another drink
It wouldnt be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didnt need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
Dont want no more
Goin down
Im goin down
And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now its really got me stumped
I cant believe why I jumped
Id like to get my tummy pumped
I cant believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown
Goin down
Goin down
I wish I looked before I leaped
I didnt know it was so deep
Been down so far I dont get wet
Havent touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin old
Im hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only want to go on home
Id gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I dont drown, Ill die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I cant swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin like a mama cow
And now Ive floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
Id never, never do this anymore
Ill give you three, Ive been down nine
Im goin down just one more time.
Goin down.
Goin down.
Now the sky is gettin light
An everything will be alright
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think Ill ride the river down
Just movin slow and floatin free
Theres a river swingin under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
Im floatin on down to new orleans
Goin to pick up on some swingin scenes
I know Ill know a better day
Ill go down groovin all the way
Goin down
Goin down

Ants On A Log

Ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Our steerin wheels
Just aint connected
And we cant jump off like flees on a dog
Cant fly away like flies on a hog
Were really just along for the ride like ants on a log
I got an uncle
He plays a game
He cant win it
Hes got a mold
Tries to fit everybody else in it
Whens he gonna learn hes bangin his head on the wall?
He aint gonna change
And he looks at me strange
When I tell him that I think were all
Just ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Our steerin wheels
Just aint connected
And we cant jump off like flees on a dog
Cant fly away like flies on a hog
Were really just along for the ride like ants on a log
We all know people
Who yell at the cars and the traffic
Folks in a hurry
Lifes full of heartache and havok
I finally learned how to lay back and let life happen
I just image the angels up in heaven
Lookin down at us and laughin
At ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Our steerin wheels
Just aint connected
And we cant jump off like flees on a dog
Cant fly away like flies on a hog
Were really just along for the ride like ants on a log
And just about the time you think youre rollin in clover
Along comes a rabbit
And the world tips over
Ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But never gettin anywhere
Our steerin wheels
Just aint connected
And we cant jump off like flees on a dog
Cant fly away like flies on a hog
Were really just along for the ride like ants on a log
Yeah were really just along for the ride like ants on a log

Be my angel and ill be your protection
If you grind when i grind when i shine i see to it you shine

You bring them sorted flavored condoms and them edible panties
Yea im street but im discreet baby ican keep a secret
You can show me what you hidin in them victoria secrets

The Very Thing That Makes You Rich

My father told me, lying on his bed of death,
"boy," he says, "woman she's gonna make it, don't fool your self
'cause she's got something to make a man lay that money, uh, right in her hand
And the very thing that makes her rich will make you poor
The very thing that makes her rich will make you poor"
That's right!
Well, i put you behind the wheel of a deuce and a quarter, yes i did
Had you living like a rich man's daughter, yes i did, i sure did
While you were living high on the hog
You had me down here scuffling like a dog
Well, the very thing that makes you rich makes me poor
The very thing that makes you rich makes me poor
Don't you never ever make such a bad mistake
You know i'd rather climb into bed with a rattlesnake
Then to work hard every day bringing that woman all my pay
The very thing that makes you rich makes me poor,
Makes me so damn poor
The thing that makes her rich makes me poor
The very thing that makes you rich make me poor
Very thing that makes you rich makes me poor
Makes me so damned poor
Money won't change it, no no...

When You're On The Scene People Leave

Oh, Baby!
Do you think you're kinda high?
Do you think you're much too high,
To come down with us...
To appreciate the sky!

Oh, baby!
No need to fly a kite.
No need to keep an ego floatin' round the moon,
To dim the bright light!

Too much of you is more than needed to believe,
You are just company.
Too much of you is twinkling brighter than a star,
Than we've ever seen.
And when you're on the scene,
People leave!
Oh, oh!

Baby,
Do you think you're much too high?
Do you think you're much too high,
To come down with us...
To appreciate the sky!
And oh-oh,
Say baby...
No need to fly a kite.
No need to keep an ego floatin' round the moon,
To dim the bright light!

Awww...
Too much of you is more than needed to believe,
You are just company.
And oh-oh,
Too much of you is twinkling brighter than a star,
Than we've ever seen.
And when you're on the scene,
People leave!

You stir up envy in them and it shows in their jealousy.
See how they mope?
As if you've sucked up their hope!
You stir up envy in them and it shows in their jealousy.
See how they mope?
As if you've sucked up their hope!

Oh, Baby!
Do you think you're kinda high?
Do you think you're much too high,
To come down with us...
To appreciate the sky!

Oh, baby!
No need to fly a kite.
No need to keep an ego floatin' round the moon,
To dim the bright light!

Awww...
Too much of you is more than needed to believe,
You are just company.
And oh-oh,
Too much of you is twinkling brighter than a star,
Than we've ever seen.
And when you're on the scene,
People leave!

A Small Plot Of Land

Poor soul
Spit upon that
Poor soul
He never knew what hit him
And it hit him so
Poor dunce
He pushed back the pigmen
The barbs laughed
The fool is dead
Poor dunce
Hes less than within us
The brains talk
But the will to live is dead
And prayer cant
Travel so far these days
The talk of your life
Standing so near
To innocent eyes
Poor dunce
Swings thru the tunnels
And claws his way
Is small life so manic
Are these really the days
Poor dunce
Poor dunce
Poor soul
Poor soul
Poor soul

Neighbor, Neighbor

Neighbor, neighbor, why you messin in my life?
Neighbor, neighbor, youve been talkin to my wife,
Tellin her you seen me
Runnin wild the other night,
Runnin wild the other night.
A neighbor, neighbor, theress always one in every crowd.
A neighbor, neighbor, tellin lies and talkin loud.
You better watch your step now.
You might fall off your cloud.
You might fall off your cloud.
Now I was walking down a dusty road
When along came a neighbor of mine.
He saw me walkin with my head hung down,
He just had to stop and pass the time.
Neighbor, neighbor, floatin in the salty brine.
Floatin in the salty brine.

Poor Little Girl

Poor Little Girl

Nobody cares what she does
She only lives what she was
In her mind reliving thoughts of yesterday
‘til she finds she knows her way she’ll have to play poor little girl
Poor little girl

Why can’t she love what she’s seen
People don’t want her to’ve been
Wasting time and living in her yesterday
‘til she finds she knows her way she’ll have to play poor little girl
Poor little girl

Her heart will shoulder
Who she’s intended to be
She may never know her
Until she has set herself free

Harboring the darkest nights of yesterday
So until she finds her way she’ll have to play poor little girl
Poor little girl

She’s so important to me
I admit I use to be
Runnin’ never knowin’ of my destiny
Blessings in disguise today that end that play

Poor little girl,
Poor little girl
Poor little girl
Little girl’s me

A Man With Money

She wants a man with lots of money,
not a poor boy,
He buys her things she calls him honey,
she calls me poor boy,
What good could it do,
to give a love pure and true,
when any fool could understand,
she thinks that money makes the man,
She wants a man with lots of money,
not a poor boy,
She wants the things she'll buy with money,
not a poor boy,
a man with money,man with money,man with money,
Just down thwe street,
I know a place
When there asleep,
I'll cover my face,
I'll break the lock,open the door,
I'll slip inside, I'll rob the store,
Then I'll be a man with lots of money,
not a poor boy,
I'll buy her things, she'll call me honey,
not a poor boy,
A man with money, man with money, man with money, man with money

The Poor

God is with the poor

But do the poor know God is with them?

As they look out from the crowd

Lost in their 'man made prison'


God is with the poor

But do the poor know God is with them?

As they look up to the proud

Who looks back with derision

And who can tell the poor that God is with them?

He who paints angel wings on ragged backs?

Makes hungry mouths sing for their supper

He who nothing lacks?

Who poorer still can say God is with us?

When homeless turn away from too much fuss

But God is with them

Is he with us?

And poorer still in having more

But never having too much

Who can say then God is with us?

Relax Your Mind

Its that nigga gz wheez
Back for the 9-c
I ex sippin on the yak so people wanna know whats next
Aint nuthin changed, another day a new time
With this uptempo beat with the g-funk rhyme
Regulatin state to state, coast to coast
Its all about the call of greens, yak, lets toast
Cuz its a ballin society
I try to be the dopest I can be in this industry
But you dont hear me
I think ya betta, I think ya betta
Cuz when i, get it goin on I aint gonna let up
I set up, the g-funk family and we
Funkin up the industry until eternity
Its alright with you if its alright with me,
Well get down to the sounds of the lbc
Chorus: repeat 2x
Relax your mind, your mind, your mind
Relax your mind and let your conscious be freein you down
To the sounds of the warren g
It aint easy bein gz
But the lifestyle I chose, the status to which I rose
The doors, I open, Im loccin, Im scopin
Through the eyes of the g child
I see many try to duplicate the lbc style
But it aint even happenin like that
I was time I had to make a comeback
And get mine, you know Im genuine
Been in motion with the potion with snoop since 89
Devotion is the key for me so,
Relax your mind and let your conscious be free
The homey just touched down, foolin wit a pound
Put yo gun down, so you can walk a safe ground
Chorus: repeat 2x
I know its been hard on you for about two, so
I had to relax your mind, I thought you knew
Aint nothin but a long beach party
With yo hands in the air, with the twist of coke and bacardi
All the homeys around and the slingshot t-shirts
Skirts wit the baby fat itll work
Pass me the indosmoke and get locced
From the beach to the bay, makin them sway
Like the ocean in motion, we coastin
Relax your mind and keep floatin (floatin, floatin, floatin)
And walk a safe ground
Chorus: repeat 6x

Poor Baby

Orbison/c & r price
Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter
But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown
Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby
A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways
Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction
Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now i'm gone, you've got yourself to blame
Chorus
Ooh poor baby
Do what you said you'd never do
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby
Poor baby,poor baby

If I were dead

'IF I were dead, you'd sometimes say, Poor Child!'
The dear lips quiver'd as they spake,
And the tears brake
From eyes which, not to grieve me, brightly smiled.
Poor Child, poor Child!
I seem to hear your laugh, your talk, your song.
It is not true that Love will do no wrong.
Poor Child!
And did you think, when you so cried and smiled,
How I, in lonely nights, should lie awake,
And of those words your full avengers make?
Poor Child, poor Child!
And now, unless it be
That sweet amends thrice told are come to thee,
O God, have Thou no mercy upon me!
Poor Child!

The Sunken Crown

Nothing will hold him longer—let him go;
Let him go down where others have gone down;
Little he cares whether we smile or frown,
Or if we know, or if we think we know.
The call is on him for his overthrow,
Say we; so let him rise, or let him drown.
Poor fool! He plunges for the sunken crown,
And we—we wait for what the plunge may show.

Well, we are safe enough. Why linger, then?
The watery chance was his, not ours. Poor fool!
Poor truant, poor Narcissus out of school;
Poor jest of Ascalon; poor king of men.—
The crown, if he be wearing it, may cool
His arrogance, and he may sleep again.

Muskrat Love

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin the town and doin it right
In the evenin
Its pretty pleasin
Muskrat susie, muskrat sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And sammys so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin on cheese
Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus?
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now hes ticklin her fancy
Rubbin her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...
