Papa Don't Take No Mess
James Brown
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
