Midnight, by Yaz

Midnight it's raining outside (yeah) he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best (but)
Darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had (well)
Still I don't know hwy I did him wrong
It's too late now he's gone to say

Baby! oh no! Can't leave me now
Said think about it please
Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong (oh, before I did you wrong)

Heartache, heartache yeah
When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down
Cheating when he was working hard I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain't got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
He's a good strong man and I love him so
So how on earth can I let him go?

Baby, oh no! Can't leave me now
Said think about it please
Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong

And now it's midnight it's raining outside
And I'm soaking wet still looking for that man of mine
And I ain't found him yet
Well all of this rain can wash away my tears
But nothing can replace all those wasted years
In all of this I tell you I have learnt
Playing with fire gets you burnt
And I'm still burning

Said, Baby!  Nooooo! Can't leave me now
Said think about PLEASE!
Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong

You say you';; lose your pride
Well don't you know dear, don't you know
I'll lose so much more if you go now
Oh no oh no no...

 

Now it's time for you to hit me with your numbah one karaoke tune!

We used to sing this at the lunch table in elementary school in hushed tones, since the Baptist vibes around had alerted to the fact that it was evil. I remember it especially well because I was dancing around to it while on the stage in the auditorium, didn't see the edge, lost my balance, fell on my arm -- broke it. Because white girls in the boonies are not ready for the 'hood, yo.

Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey

Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey - here's how you feel
Put your left leg down - your right leg up
Tilt your head back - let's finish the cup
M.C.A. with the bottle - D. rocks the can
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
We're offered Moet - we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go with bring the Monkey with us
Adrock drinks three - Mike D. is D.
Double R. foots the bill most definitely
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
I got a Castle in Brooklyn - that's where I dwell

(repeat chorus)

Cause I drink it anytime - and anyplace
When it's time to get ill - I pour it on my face
Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky
Me and the crew - we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by - she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey - mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"
I offered her a sip - the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip

(repeat chorus)

Step up to the bar - put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
Take a sip - you can do it - you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini - thinking you're cool
I'll take your place at the bar - I smack you off your stool
I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp
And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'
Def, def - girls, girls - all y'all jockin'
The song and dance keeping you in a trance
If you don't buy my record I got my advance
I drink it - I think it - I see it - I be it
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D. it
We got the bottle - you got the cup
Come on everybody let's get ffffff

(repeat chorus)

I. Love. You. So veryvery much right now.

If we're kickin' it old school, Here's a rap that I performed in a SPEECH COMPETETION. And lost. Huh? Notice the super cool medical-speak rapping at the end. (I used to refer to myself as the L-A-U-R- double A-N-N-E: Laura Anne is who I be.)

Roxanne, Roxanne, by UTFO
Yo EMD
Yeah, what's up man?
There goes that girl they call Roxanne. She's all stuck up
Why you say that?
Cause she wouldn't give a guy like me no rap
She was walking down the street so I said 'Hello
I'm Kangol from UTFO.' And she said 'So?'
And I said 'So?!? Baby don't you know?
I can sing, rap, and dance in just one show
Cause I'm Kangol, Mr. Sophisticata
As far as I'm concerned ain't nobody greater
From beginning to end and, to beginning
I never lose because I'm all about winning
But if I were to lose, I wouldn't be upset
Cause I'm not a gambler, I don't bet
I don't be in no casino, and baby while you knizzow
The izzi is the grizzeat Kizzangizzo.'
I thought she'd be impress by my devious rap
I thought I had her caught cause I'm a sinister trap
I thought it'd be a piece of cake but it was nothing like that
I guess that's what I get for thinking, ain't that right, black?
Then crizzi to gizzone and seen number izzone
Crizzin ricking tizza of mizzac mic dizza
With the bang bang, brother I feel bad
But I ain't comitting suicide for no crab
But calling her a crab is just a figure of speech
Cause she's an apple, a pear, a plum, and a peach
I thought I had it in the palm of my hand
But man oh man, if I was grand I'd bang Roxanne
Chorus:
Roxanne, Roxanne, I wanna be your man


There are several more MIND NUMBING verses left, potty break!

Re: I. Love. You. So veryvery much right now.

Dude, no discussion of UTFO can pass without Roxanne Shante's "answer." It just CAN'T. I think it's a law or something...

ell, my name is Roxanne, a-don't ya know
I just a-cold rock a party, and I do this show
I said I met these three guys, and you know that's true
A-let me tell you and explain them all to you:
I met this dude with the name of a hat
I didn't even walk away, I didn't give him no rap
But then he got real mad, and he got a little tired
If he worked for me, you know he would be fired
His name is Kangol, and that is cute
He ain't got money, and he ain't got the loot
And every time that I see him, he's always a-beggin'
And all the other girls that he's always tryin' to leggin'
Every time that he sees me, he says a rhyme
But, see, compared to me it's weak compared to mine
A-every time I know that I am sayin' somethin' fresher
In any category I'm considered the best
And every time that I say it there ain't nothin' less
And everybody knows I will win the contest
So, then, after that came the Educated Rapper
His fingers started snappin', and my hands start to clappin'
Every time-a that I see him, everything he say
A-every time he says, he says it dumber this way:
He said-a, "Yeah, you know your mother's name is Mary,"
But all he wanna do is just-a bust a cherry
Every time that I see him, he's sayin' somethin' new
But let me explain to him what he should do:
He should be like me, a fly MC
Don't never have to bite, we're always right
I have the freshest rhymes that I do recite
And after that, and you know it's true
Well, let me tell you somethin' else about the Doctor, too:
He ain't really cute, and he ain't great
He don't even know how to operate
He came up to me with some bullshit rap
But let me tell you somethin' 'cause you know it was wack
So when he came up to me, I told him to step back
He said, "You call yourself an MC?" I said, "This is true,"
He said, "Explain to me really what MCs must do."
I said, "Listen very close 'cause I don't say this every day:
My name is Roxanne, and they call me ShantŽ."
But every time-a I say a rhyme-a just-a like-a this-a
It's something that you MCs just won't-a miss-a
And if you think it's cute-a, and you think it's all right
But, see, you said it in a language so you wouldn't have to bite
You started talkin' Pig Latin, didn't make no sense
You thought you was cute, yeah, you thought you was a prince
You're walkin' down the block, holdin' your jock
But everybody knows that you're all on my yacht
I'm just the devastatin', always rockin', always have the niggas clockin'
Everybody knows it's me, yeah, the R-O-X-A-N-N-E, yeah
Down with everybody fresh and everyone that I possess
And every time I do it right-a, everyone is sure to bite-a
Every time I do it, yeah, you know it is-a me-a
Rockin' on the beat-a that you can see
And every time I have a DJ like Ice
He ain't right, yeah, he ain't nice
Because a-everything he does is off-the-wall
Compared to my man Marley Marl
The way he gets on the tables, yes
Everyone knows that he is fresh
So, the UTFO crew, you know what you can do
Lemme tell you one for me, and then I'll tell you one for you
Every time you sayin' somethin' just-a like-a this-a
It ain't nothin' that I don't wanna miss-a
And if you're thinkin' that I'm bitin' your beat
Well, then you just better know, and a-listen to me
Because my name is Roxanne-a, and I came to say
I'm rockin' to the beat-a, and I do it every day
I'm conceited, never beated, never heard of defeated
I'm rockin' to the beat-a, and you know it is-a me-a:
The R-O-X-A-N-N-E-a...

Of course there's more... SO MUCH more...

Can you feel that? it's me making love to you. In a totally non-creepy, I just met you online but not really in person kind of way. Hee!

Yo, and I'm out! To sing more songs!! Woot!

It's the black legwarmers, isn't it? They drive people cra-zay.

Black legwarmers

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

And mostly (Newt: mostly) it's the sparkly pink thread that is woven into your black legwarmers. It's RAD!!

Re: Black legwarmers

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

::shyly:: My one concession to any sort of pink, but there ain't no shame in the shiny...

...Ain't no shaa-aaa-aame...

Uh-oh. Now look what you've done!

Re: I. Love. You. So veryvery much right now.

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

Remind me to LOOK at what I'm pasting in next time! I would've corrected the typos... yes I would.

Re: I. Love. You. So veryvery much right now.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

No time for that: we're trying to convince the DJ to SKIP the hokey pokey. I mean for God's sake: we're adults!!

Oh my god. Even then, we booed when they played that. BOOED, I say.

And now, on with my fashionably torn tights, because....!

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong
Searchin’ our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You’re beggin’ me to go, you’re makin’ me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you’ve had?
Believe me, believe me, I can’t tell you why
But I’m trapped by your love, and I’m chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong
Searchin’ our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We’re losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There’s no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you’ll need me to hold

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong
Searchin’ our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong
Searchin’ our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
