    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    You're nothing but a dirty, dirty old man
    You do your thinking with a one track mind
    Keep talkin' about heaven glory but
    On your face is a different story
    Clean up your rap your story's getting dusty
    Wash out your mouth
    Your lies are getting rusty
    Can't believe nothing you say
    'Cause I'm around and I see what you do
    You know you're funkIER THAN a mosquito's tweeter
    You gotta mouth like a herd of boll weevils
    Same old game, same old thing
    You never changed
    Always rappin 'bout the same old thing
    [Verse 2]
    I got something to tell ya
    I got something to tell you baby
    But you ain't hip to baby
    Blowin' minds is a thing of the past
    You blew your chance that's why you never last
    You want to be a graduate mother
    But in reality just another brother
    You think you slick but could
    Stand a lot of greasing
    The things you do ain't never really pleasin'
    Can't believe nothin' you say
    'Cause I'm around and I see what you do
    You know you funkIER THAN a mosquito's tweeter
    You got a mouth like a herd of boll weevils
    Same old game, same old thing
    A...lways rappin 'bout the same old thing
    You beautiful, beautiful
    Beautiful, beautiful
    [Verse 3]
    You put yourself upon a big stool
    Nothin' worse than an educated fool
    Talkin' sex is your favorite conversation
    But peace and love is a famous generation
    What's in your head has really started showing
    Your conversation gettin' kinda boring
    Can't believe nothin' you say
    'Cause I'm around and I see what you do
    You know you funkIER THAN a mosquito's tweeter
    You got a mouth like a herd of boll weevils
    Same old game, same old game
    Same old thing you never change
    Same old game, same old thing
    Always rappin' 'bout the same old thing

      It Is Finished is a live album from Nina Simone with sitar, Madagascar harp, Spanish guitar and lots of interesting-sounding African percussion instruments. This live album includes the epic heavy-afro version of "Funkier Than A Mosquito’s Tweeter" with a massive percussion breakdown. Simone is at her best when she performs live and the energy of these recording is absolutely phenomenal. [Rough Trade] 4:45

    • @ulpana
      @ulpana 3 года назад

      Actually the poly-rhythmic hand drumming takes the ONE lead line away from (Oakland) funk's bass, so that this version emphasizes a different world being sung. The lyrics may be the same, but Nina Simone builds a smart and sophisticated underground for this already gutsy and brilliant song written by Alline Bullock (Tina Turner's sister and also a victim of Ike's).
