Times 04:52
One, two, one Times, Times Times is so hard I’ve seen a lady wearing a silver mink(?) riding the city bus Time That’s times You know Times, they so hard They be working long hair to no hair That’s time I mean time Time, Its hard You can’t kick a dollar bill and go nowhere Time And a twenty dollar bill will only give you bus fare That’s time Its hard Times Hard times Its rough Out here, its tough You know, I’ve seen the police with both flat tires on his car That’s times Times Its hard Times Its hard I think sometimes I might want to kill myself But you love me so good I think I wont Times Hard, hard, hard times You can’t even find a friend And there ain't nowhere you can get a job without paying for it Time Time You know, I’ve seen a hospital close down Full ambulances in line With blood running down the sidewalk Times Hard times Yahoo Yahoo-oo-ooo-ooo Time, Time, Hard times Its rough Things is getting tough Time

What Now? 02:17
What now? Where do we go from here? What now? Is this the end, my dear? What now? Do we just close the book? Is it all over now? Is there nothing else to say? What now? Is our love affair all over? What now? Is this the end? What now? Do we forget about yesterday? What if is it now? Is there anything more to say? What now? What can we do to ease the pain? Is it all over? Is it all over?

Just the other day I was asked, “Andre, out of all the women you had, which one did you love the most?” I searched my head and I gave it some thought And there was one that I thought about the most And that was Mississippi Sue She was the only woman to get the electric chair I really felt bad about that cause I wasn’t there I can’t remember why I wasn’t there To see her die It must have been cause I had a wife and two children by another woman Maybe I wasn’t true to Mississippi Sue Let me say I’m sorry For anything I’ve done Let me say I’m sorry if I treated you wrong Let me apologize before you die I’ll always remember Mississippi Sue Mississippi Sue What did I do wrong? Maybe if I did well I apologize I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry

Hall of Fame 05:40
You know what This is the hall of fame story After seventy years and some I’ve often been asked “Andre, why haven’t you been invited to the hall of fame? You’ve contributed all your life to music you’ve been around the world more than twice You must of ran over the presidents dog at one time or another and you know what you’ve been a writer You been an actor You been a vocalist You been a road manager You been a publisher You been a recording executive Why? What does it take?” There's been more than a few that’s been overlooked Could it be my earrings? Or my red suit? Or is it because I made love to a few white girls It could be cause I never had a hit Well that’s a lie, I had a few I just can’t call them all I’ve had worser things happen to me SO I’m not gonna jump in front of a car I’ve slept in cars I’ve drank in bars I’ve rode the cells Spent time in jail So if I’m never invited to the hall of fame I still consider myself a winner So if I’m moving on, I won’t linger I’m not the only one who got the finger So you know what, kiss off Just kiss off Well I don’t mean to be vulgar And I’m not trying to be slick I’m just telling you how I feel And I know theres more that feel like me Who never had a bite of the glory tree But if that’s the way you feel hall of fame I got one thing to say and this is coming from the heart of Andre Kiss off(X6)

Just give me a diddy intro, diddy I bought you a brand new car A silver cool mink coat I was getting ready to buy you a brand new boat But you start acting funny, I’m gonna stop giving you my money I hope one thing you know I just don’t like you no more So you go your way And I’ll go mine And we’ll leave all of this all behind I don’t know what its gonna be Just gonna be Whatever's in the future, I just can’t see But there's one thing I know, I don’t like you no more I heard some rumors In the back of my head Somebody else and you is going to bed I didn’t like it I started to get a gun I made up my mind I think I better run One thing I know I don’t like you no more Yeah, so you go your way I’ll go mine We’ll leave all of the bad stuff all behind We had fun together, we had fun, this I know But I’m beginning to see I just don’t like you no more I don’t like you no more I don’t like you no more I just don’t like you no more I don’t like you no more So I’m walking out the door Cause I just don’t like you no more So bye bye baby bye bye So bye bye baby bye bye I do do walking through the door Cause I just don’t like you no more After all has been said, I just don’t like you no more
