Papa Don't Take No Mess lyrics

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, hit me

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 definitely 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

He don't take no mess

Wait, wait a minute, look at here

Papa, don't take, papa likes

Caught when one gets up tight

You know this is right

You got yourself bang, 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

Papa don't take no mess

Oh yeah, alright

Papa is the man who will take a stand

Papa don't take no mess

Papa don't, papa don't

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

Look, take 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

Look at here

I saw papa cry when he thought that I would die

He says something was in his eye

I knew it was a lie

Mama said, mama said papa's smart

Papa got a whole lotta heart

And papa would do his part

When the game get hard, hit me

Papa don't, papa don't

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

Papa don't take no mess
