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 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

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 ... )
