Lovely marriage of word'n tune - they track so beautifully, ascending & descending, 'specially that "weary way <I>down..."</I> Wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Below are the lyrics to last year's Oscar winner ("Best Song"), performed & written by those memorable fellows, Three 6 Mafia; something I've been meaning to look up ever since I heard of that, um ... <I>charming</I> ... number. Picture Harry Lillis singing THAT to Carole!<BR/><BR/><BR/>It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp<BR/><BR/>[Chorus 2X: Shug - singing] + (Djay)<BR/>You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't knowin)<BR/>When he tryin to get this money for the rent (you ain't knowin)<BR/>For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't knowin)<BR/>[1] Because a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you ain't knowin)<BR/>[2] Will have a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you ain't knowin)<BR/><BR/>[Djay]<BR/>In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs in the streets<BR/>Gotta couple hoes workin on the changes for me<BR/>But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night<BR/>Like takin from a ho don't know no better, I know that ain't right<BR/>Done seen people killed, done seen people deal<BR/>Done seen people live in poverty with no meals<BR/>It's fucked up where I live, but that's just how it is<BR/>It might be new to you, but it's been like this for years<BR/>It's blood sweat and tears when it come down to this shit<BR/>I'm tryin to get rich 'fore I leave up out this bitch<BR/>I'm tryin to have thangs but it's hard fo' a pimp<BR/>But I'm prayin and I'm hopin to God I don't slip, yeah<BR/><BR/>[Chorus]<BR/><BR/>[Djay]<BR/>Man it seems like I'm duckin dodgin bullets everyday<BR/>Niggaz hatin on me cause I got, hoes on the tray<BR/>But I gotta stay paid, gotta stay above water<BR/>Couldn't keep up with my hoes, that's when shit got harder<BR/>North Memphis where I'm from, I'm 7th Street bound<BR/>Where niggaz all the time end up lost and never found<BR/>Man these girls think we prove thangs, leave a big head<BR/>They come hopin every night, they don't end up bein dead<BR/>Wait I got a snow bunny, and a black girl too<BR/>You pay the right price and they'll both do you<BR/>That's the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly pimpin<BR/>Gotta have my hustle tight, makin change off these women, yeah<BR/><BR/>[Chorus]<BR/><BR/><BR/>If they can indeed look down, what Gershwin, Mercer, Fields, Hart, Berlin, Gordon, et al. must be thinking ....iamfelixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940127822662319039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35031830.post-52540637396163761052007-03-01T01:49:00.000-05:002007-03-01T01:49:00.000-05:00That feline does have a distinctly "cat next door"...That feline does have a distinctly "cat next door" quality, no?<BR/><BR/>I can just see the scene in <I>We're Not Dressing</I> in which Bing croons "Love ..." to glamourous Carole Lombard.<BR/><BR/>I adore the rhyming of burden and word'n -- sheer genius on Mr. Gordon's part. Also, I love the admonition to "Stop tootin' your horn." <BR/><BR/>Narcissism on campus?! I'm shocked, truly shocked!Trombonologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780935010435443785noreply@blogger.com
