Forget That Day
So feast your eyes upon my brand new hair
If your eyes can adjust
To the neon glare and my look of disgust
What are you seeking validation for
At the character assassination store
Their shelves are full but nothing's cheap
So pick your ego up of the floor
And inch or two but nothing more
It's a crutch you want not what you got
You're falling all over the looks you bought
The best are brought down by degrees
The rest are curiosities
Attention please! is all they understand
Drawing a crow
20 Dollars
by Angie Stone
[Intro]
Said it's a sho' fire testimony
Check it, whoa, rap on the do'
Whatcha know about being po'
Whatcha know about borrowin'
From the neighbor next door
Whatcha know about bummin' rides
Whatcha know about havin', ta swallow yo' pride
What do you do when you're through
When you're always helping people and
Nobody's there for you, come on now
What can I do or say
When you constantly standing in my face
Talkin' about
1 - Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
Now I'm suppose to take from the child, oh Lord
Make it harder on me just to make it worth your
while
Now honey, I don't think so
Cuz you ain't paid me back the ten-spot
From three weeks ago, uh ho ho, no
What do you do when you're through
When you're always helping people and
Nobody's there for you (Tell me)
What can I do or say
When you constantly staring in my face
Talkin' about
Repeat 2
Tell me
What have you done for me
Besides bein' too busy, busy, busy
Stressin' me constantly
Oh Oh Woah yeah, Now I, now I, now I
I can see where your head is at
Ahaa, See I only got 20 dollars
And you still want half of that
Woah oh WOAH Woo hoo ooo Yeah!
Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
(WHAT check you gon' get next week?)
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
(I don't remember you havin' a job lately)
Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
(Gerald told me the other day you see)
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
(You borrowed 10 from him and 2 from Sue
and I said "I ain't GOT no money")
Can you loan me 20 dollars
(I work too hard for mines)
'Till I get my check next week

Said I only got 20 dollars
I suggest you... get it together)
And me and my baby got to eat
