Jughead

(album: Diamonds And Pearls - 1991)

Keep it nice and quiet, keep it nice and quiet

What the hell was that?

(Hey y'all, I thought we bust this new hype before)
All across the land
(New dance commercial take 2)
Rio, Marbella we getting stupid
Ha, Germany, Paris France we getting stupid
Yeah, Stockholm Sweden, we love ya

Let me shed, it's easier said code red
Bust the new groove just hyped 4 the jughead
Bass thumping everybody's doin the bumping
Oops, I slipped on a move
I think it's time 2 bust something
Sleazy, but cool and easy
("Is this the right one?")
Yeah this is 4 the hood
Better keep it greasy
Better yet on a smooth tip
I don't wanna sweat
I want my slimmie 2 get with this
Move your head and shoulders from side 2 side
Take your back foot, and then u let it slide
Yo, in a fade motion, lots of attitude, coast 2 coast
Then u're floating homeboys boasting
U made his skeeze freeze
U've been chosen, P
Ladies and gentlemen, NPG introduces the...

Wait a minute, what's he doin'? (get stupid, get stupid)

Well, Mack daddy in the house over there
What u doing dawg?
("Getting busy G, kicking the jughead")
Yeah, baby's getting busy in my face
Cold housing a future
Everything has been well placed
This daddy's 2 fly
He bust the jughead as he floats to the other side
U watch the rotation, there's a bit of hesitation
This is some new hype stuff u're facing

U gotta come with a new git
The J-U-G-H-E-A-D, and I'm flowing with it
U could say I'm on a roll
NPG and y'all, and we're getting bold, oh
Yes bold steps must be taken
2 bump a nation their scrutiny is what I'm facing
As u pump the volume to what I'm saying
U'd catch me dead before you catch me
Doing anything but the...

Jughead (Jughead)

Don't worry if you're looking silly
Look over here at me, working 4 Willie (check it out man, check it out)
Getting busy in the corner (Oh yes, is that Levi?!)
Holding my own u think I'm posing
I'm just frozen on an upbeat
Clocking a freak in a low pro
U know discreet
Baby was laughing
But before a "no" was even said
She's on the dance floor
Next beat kicking the jughead (jughead)

M... P... L... S
Who turn the mother out?

Oh yeah That's what I'm saying (get funky)
That's what I'm saying
That's what I'm saying

Who turn the mother out?

(That's what I'm sayin')
Tony, you were excellent (That's what I'm sayin')
What you need is a manager (That's what I'm sayin')

For what?
I can make you... Money minders are like parasites
They pose and wheelers and
Dealers for your rights. And most
Companies say that you need em!
Not me... But I've kicked back, observed, and
I'm honest... Watched 'em bleed 'em
Artists young and old
I can bring you to the top! Where'd this unwritten law come from anyway?
That years after the contract you should
Still be getting paid? Boy, I go broke
And hit the skids before I take care of
A rich sucker's kids. Hell,
My contract... A contract ain't no pension plan,
My contract... Years after this my kids are still
Gonna make the grand.
Tony, you... And you laugh at my brother Little Richard
When he says you ain't gave him nothing.
Let's leave him out of this Hell, that ain't no joke.
His songs are still selling, that man
Could die broke. So fellow artists,
U need me... Push for yours, and watch for
Mr. Money Minder, as we settle the score.
Tony...
