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

What now?
Where do we go from here?
What now?
Is this the end, my dear?

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?

Mississippi Sue

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

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)

I Don't Like You No More
05:20
|

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
