Papa Don't Take No Mess

Papa don't take no mess

Papa don't take no mess

Papa is the man who can understand

How a man has to do

Whatever he can



Papa don't, Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't take no mess, no

He don't take no mess



Now Papa might grin

Drink a little taste of gin

Bet his last ten on

A little game of skins, hit me



Papa don't take no mess

Papa don't take no mess

Papa don't, Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't take no mess, hey, hey



Papa digs the chick

If she look real slick

Papa rap is very quick

He defintely ain't no trick



Oh, yeah



Papa don't, Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't take no mess

Papa is the man

Who will take a stand

Papa don't take no mess

Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't, don't, Papa don't



Look, dig this



Papa didn't cuss

He didn't raise a whole lotta fuss

But when we did wrong

Papa beat the hell out of us



Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't, Papa don't

Papa don't take no mess

Papa don't take no mess



I saw Papa cry when he

Thought that I would die

Lookie here

I saw papa cry

I saw Papa cry when he

Thought that I would die

He says something was in his eye

I knew it was a lie

Papa loves his son



Mama said Papa's smart

Papa got a whole lotta heart

And Papa would do his part

When the game get hard, hit me
