Young Lust

(Tyler/Perry/Vallance)

young lust

happy just to be in lust

never have to eat no dust

everybody talk about

young lust

you're dyin' and you're screamin' inside

oh you're guilty way before you been tried

it's crazy but you're diggin' it

young lust

you feel it in the summertime blues

oh, easy when there's nothin' to lose

and baby you been missin' out

young lust

sometimes you need it so bad

it's enough to drive a young girl mad

so what you gonna do about it

a little bit o' nasty

you look a little sleazy

but don't get any on you

young lust

you better keep your daughter inside

or she's gonna get a dose of my pride

yeah, everybody talks about it

young lust

once you had it you can never go back

don't you ever let 'em give you no slack

when you're streakin' down the alley way

checkin' out the ladies

who didn't bring their boyfriends

who love to get in trouble

I got to say I'll see you later, meet me in the elevator

always gettin' stronger

never gettin' weaker

my love is gettin' longer

I'll keep it in my sneaker

never keep a secret

never feelin' guilty

never gettin' lonely

never gettin' no peace, hidin' from the police

sneakin' out the back way

sneakin' down the alley way

gotta do it my way

do it in the sunshine

hangin' from the clothesline

find another tree to climb

young lust

there's no time for lovin'

young lust

no, don't need one in the oven

young lust

I'm a-pushin' and a-shovin' it

young lust

Monkey On My Back

(Tyler/Perry)

woe is me

well I been dyin'

got to get that monkey off my back

the fortune teller looked into my eyeballs

the wrinkles on her face about to crack

she said you best believe it, you ain't goin' nowhere

unless you get that monkey off your back

well, I made believe the devil made me do it

I was the evil leader of the pack

you best believe I had it all and then I blew it

feedin' that fuckin' monkey on my back

ahh, if you put it in a spoon man I would boot it

some king whose mental house was just a shack

where do you draw the line

when all your friends are dyin'

got to get that monkey off your back

your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon

she said now bring me home his head inside a sack

but now you find your crystal balls are draggin'

got to get that monkey off your back

Janie's Got A Gun

(Tyler/Hamilton)

ch' dum dum dum, honey what have you done

ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound of my gun

ch' dum dum dum, honey what have you done

ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound, it's the sound

Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

whole world's come undone

lookin' straight at the sun

they say when Janie was arrested

they found him underneath a train

but man he had it comin'

now that Janie's got a gun

she ain't never gonna be the same

Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

dog days just begun

now everybody is on the run

tell me now it's untrue

what did her daddy do

he jacked a little bitty baby

the man has got to be insane

they say the spell that he was under

the lightning and the thunder

knew that someone had to stop the rain

run away, run away from the pain

run away, run away from the pain

run away, run away

run, run away

what did her daddy do

it's Janie's last I-O-U

she had to take him down easy

and put a bullet in his brain [alt: she left him in the pouring rain]

she said 'cause nobody believes me

the man was such a sleaze

he ain't never gonna be the same

honey honey, what's the problem

tell me it ain't right

was it your daddy's cradle-robbin' that

made you scream at night

The Other Side

(Tyler/Vallance)

lovin' you's got to be (take me to the other side)

like the devil and the deep blue sea ( ... )

forget about your foolish pride

c'mon, take me to the other side

my mama told me there'd be days like this

and man she wasn't foolin'

'cause I just can't believe the way you kiss

uh huh

you opened up your mouth with baited breath

you said you'd never leave me

you love me, you hate me, I tried to take the loss

you're cryin' me a river but I got to get across

I'm lookin' for another kind of love

oh lordy how I need it

the kind that likes to leap without a shove

oh honey, best believe it

to save a lot of time and foolish pride

I'll say what's on my mind, girl

you love me, you hate me, you cut me down to size

you blinded me with lovin' yeah it opened up my eyes

lovin' you's got to be

like some devil and the deep blue sea

my conscience got to be my guide

oh honey take me, take take ...

take me to the other side

I'm lookin' for another kind of love

oh lordy how I need it

the kind that likes to leap without a shove

honey, you best believe it

now I ain't one for sayin' long good-byes

I hope all is forgiven

you love me, you hate me, I used to be your lover

you know you've had it comin' girl so take me to the other side

take me to the other side

take me to the other side

My Girl

(Tyler/Perry)

my girl, she breathes hellfire

and my girl, she feeds my desire

my girl Sadie she's the wind in my sails

a puss n' boots lady with a cat o' nine tails

comin' after you honey, feet don't fail me now

my girl, she's bareback rider

and my girl, she's Lady Godiva

she's a full-time lover no mon ami

sweeter than honey from a honey bee

and it all rubs off on little old me-oh-my

slippin' in and out of love

slippin' in and out of love

slippin' in and out of love

slippin' in and out of love

my girl, she smokes barbed wire

and my girl can't get no higher

I made it with the lady with the one-track mind

diamonds in the rough they're so hard to find

day after day, the same old grind and grind and ...

my girl

Don't Get Mad, Get Even

(Tyler/Perry)

I'll tell you little secret make you want to jump and shout

when you talk to me in circles take your foot out of your mouth

it's hard enough to make it when you're livin' on the street

and you want to tell somebody but you got to be discreet

then you catch your girlfriend with her skirt hiked up to here

honey, don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

say the times they be a-changin' though the blind lead the blind

you know your head is empty though there's somethin' on your mind

been shackin' up with Lucy, then when the morning comes

you're with Sally in the alley and the junkies and the bums

you wonder why your girlfriend has her skirt hiked up to here

honey, don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

(...'til I can see the white o' your eyes, baby...)

(...I'm gonna kick ass...)

(...just wait 'til you see what I got in store for you)

roll the dice get lucky 'cause they roll you for the dime

you got nothin' else to lose if you only lose your mind

when pleasure that is shallow causes trouble to be deep

you've been dusted with the devil while he sweeps you off your feet

I'll tell you little secret make you want to jump and shout

when you talk to me in circles take your foot out of your mouth

it's hard enough to make it when you're livin' on the street

and you hate to be a wiseguy when your feet are in concrete

oh, sleepin' with the dogs, and you wake up with the fleas

honey, don't get mad, get even

Hoodoo/Voodoo Medicine Man

(Tyler/Whitford)

(Hoodoo)

soft and shaded, I was left as a child

dragged from the cradle, I was weaned in the wild

ran with the wolfpack, flesh torn to shreds

in the compensations, I was left there for dead

(Voodoo Medicine Man starts here)

read it in the paper it ain't fair

you know who today don't seem to care

livin', lovin', gettin' loose

masturbatin' with a noose

now someone's kickin' out the chair

some kind of voodoo

come across this land

some kind of voodoo

voodoo medicine man

everybody's lookin' at the sky

don't believe the coverups and lies

they been tellin' us since birth

pissin' off old Mother Earth

my gones are bygones prophesied

get ready

wonder should I go or should I stay

'cause what we got ain't workin' anyway

I did my best, God knows I tried

I feel like I been crucified

why did you take it all away

voodoo, voodoo, medicine man (repeat)

What It Takes

(Tyler/Perry/Child)

there goes my old girlfriend

well there's another diamond ring

and all those late night promises

I guess they don't mean a thing

so baby what's the story

did you find another man

is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made

when you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away

I used to feel your fire

but now it's cold inside

and you're back on the street

like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

tell me what it takes to let you go

tell me how the pain's supposed to go

tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

without thinking you lost everything that was good

in your life to the toss of the dice

tell me what it takes to let you go

girl before I met you

I was F.I.N.E. fine

but your love made me a prisoner

yeah my heart's been doin' time

spent me up like money

well then you hung me out to dry

it was easy to keep all your lies in disguise

'cause you had me deep with the devil in your eyes

tell me that you're happy that you're on your own

tell me that it's better when you're all alone

tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch

tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much

tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me

tell me who's to blame for thinking twice (no no no no)

'cause i don't wanna burn in paradise

(let it go let it go ... )
