Cinnamon Girl UK Single

Dear Mr. Man (Live)
"Cinnamon Girl" UK CD Single

© 2004 NPG Records

Dear Mr. Man (Live)

What's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Show me what the leaders say
Maybe we should write a letter

Said, dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say, "The meek shall inherit the earth"
We wanna be down that way
But U been trippin' since the day of your birth

Who said that 2 kill is a sin
Started every single war that your people been in?
Who said that water is a precious commodity
And dropped a big ol' black oil slick in the deep blue sea?

Who told Mr. Man, workin' 'round the clock
Would buy me a big house in the hood?
Cigarette ads on every block?
Who told Mr. Man, that I got a right 2 moan
About this big ol' hole up here in the ozone?
Somebody...

Oh, what's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Hey, dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Maybe we should write a letter

Solo...
Clap your hands y'all, come on...

There ain't no sense in votin'; same song with a different name
Might not be in the back of the bus but it sho' feel just the same
Ain't nothing fair about welfare
Ain't no assistance in AIDS
Ain't nothing affirmative about your action till my people get paid

Your thousand years are up
Now we got 2 share the land
Section 1 - 14th Amendment state:
"No state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law"
Mr. Man, we want 2 end this thang with a couple o' words:
We tired o'y'all

We tired, Maceo
Hey, sick and tired o' being tired

Dear, Mr. Man

Oh yeah...

Horny people gather here
We are fixin' 2 put it in all your ears

Girlfriend, look at this dance Prince is doin' now

Now that's 2 freaky!

In the years of the war, we don't wanna know
U're buckin' that body like U really go 4 the hip stuff
H into the I into the P
It ain't enough just 2 do some exstacy
U want it in your hip, U want it in your thighs
It's the dance that conservatives most despise
Cuz it's the sex dance - it's the new dance
And it's rockin' every horny woman, every man
It's the Horny Pony, y'all (Horny Pony)
And there ya go

Turn around
Chicken grease in the house

Chicken grease? I don't know
That's it, I gotta run

And U can run all the way 2 Barcelona
But U can't hide, the Horny Pony get U gonna
Don't look at me y'all, I just wrote it
Put on a record, wrapped it up and then I sold it
Horny people gather here {x2} (How long?)
4 the next 8 years
We got a new dance - it's the Horny Pony

Yeah, the music's jammin', but it's about these words

Sing (Horny Pony)

Girl, uh-uh - nope!

Did U come 2 party now? (Yeah, yeah)
Do U really wanna now? (Yeah, yeah)

"How U do that dance?"

I can't do that - I'm a lady (Nigga, please!)
I can't do that

What?
Listen 2 me while I show U how 2 do it
Just like a virgin, U got 2 ease into it
Movin' your legs from the left 2 right
Your arms up high like an eagle in flight
Keep your hands shakin' like a leaf on a tree
Jack Be Nimble, whoo, U're doin' it – see?
The Horny Pony, y'all
There ya go, there ya go
It's the Horny Pony

Do U believe this? Oh my God, this guy...
Oh, he's just so... he's just so weird
Oh my goodness, would U look at this?
I just... I just cannot believe
Girl, uh-uh - nope!

Uh, yeah - why?

Well guess who U goin' home with?

(Love or money) {repeat thru song}

Baby, nothing come 4 free now
If U want 2 be with me now
What's it gonna be now?
Is it love or is it money?

Tell me, tell me what's your name?
What's your claim 2 fame?

Is it love or is it money?

Tell me what's on your mind?
Are we just makin' time?
Will our spirits rhyme?
Is it love or is it money? Yeah

Showtime, uh
I'm gonna shake my hips 2 the east
Shake my hip 2 the west
Till U make up your mind
That my hip is the best
I said "Uh"

I said baby, let me take U by the hand
Make U understand
That I... I ain't no silly man
Got 2 let me know, is it love or is it money?

Nothing come 4 free now
If U want 2 be with me now

Is it love or is it money? Yeah

Listen

Take U by the hand
Make U understand
That I ain't no silly man

He was bad, he was fresh
All the women say he was the best
He had money up 2 his neck
But it didn't mean a heck
The boy was in need of some diehard pussy
The kinda drawers that last
Heck-a-buff, good God, I wantcha

Love
Baby, baby, baby...

Nothing come 4 free now
If U wanna be with me now
Ah, don't get me wrong mama

Out of town, Lord, don't worry about us
Gimme that, gimme that Vaseline
Oh, got 2 slide, the girls know what I mean
Uh, Lord

Cool, cool, cool, cool
Let it loose, let it loose
What it is?
Love

There'll always be another king 2 die butt-naked on the floor (Oh)

Cinnamon Girl UK Single

The United States Of Division
"Cinnamon Girl" UK CD Single

© 2004 NPG Records

The United States Of Division

2004, still at war and everybody hates Americans
Let's go!
Come on

Flyin' in an aeroplane with pen in hand
Over miles and miles of deep blue
Wonderin' if it was all part of a master plan
Forget the 1 and become 2

How could your brother hear the same music (Music, music, music, music)
Yet somehow dance 2 a different tune?
I guess that once U go divide this precious land
This precious land will divide U
Sing!

CHORUS:
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Everybody stop fighting
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Everybody make love

Drivin' a brand new Cadillac through my neighborhood
Everything still look the same, uh
Everything except the fact I wish I could
Take away all the hurt and pain (Soul)

We let Supafly straighten up our curly hair (Hair)
He took the afro out the game
It's kinda cool but the guns and drugs 2 much 2 bear
10 years later Scarface came (Who U think U messin' with?)

Sing the hook

CHORUS
(Come on)

Bridge

A united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is 1
People can slam their door, disagree and fight it
But how U gonna love the Father but not love the Son?
United States of Division

Walkin' down the street, no flag in hand
No stars and stripes, no claim 2 land
No crescent moon, just a holy man, holy man

How far from heaven must we go
Before the winds of change will blow and show
This world how it's supposed 2 be
Land of peace and harmony?
Come on

Everybody stop fighting
Everybody make love
Everybody stop fighting
United States of Division

People can slam their door, disagree and fight it
But how U gonna say U love the Father and not love the Son?
United States of Division

Black (Division)
White (Division)
Straight (Division)
Gay (Division)
Christian (Division)
Muslim

Why must I say "God Bless America"
And not the rest of the world?
(Oh say can U see?)
I love my country but I love God more
Every man, women, boy and girl
Ooh, can U sing with me?

CHORUS {x2}
(Come on)
(Everybody)
(Oh)
(Put your gun down)
(Hey)
(Everybody gather round, gather round)
(Talk 2 me)
(What is this rush 2 declare war?)
(What we fightin' 4?)
(Hey)
(Oh)
(Come here, baby)

Talkin' 2 United States, United States, United States of Division!

Everybody make music
Everybody make love
