The Rose Delima

You can sew heem up in a canvas sack,
An' t'row heem over boar'
You can wait till de ship she 's comin' back
Den bury heem on de shore
For dead man w'en he 's dead for sure,
Ain't good for not'ing at all
An' he 'll stay on de place you put heem
Till he hear dat bugle call
Dey say will soun' on de las', las' day
W'en ev'ry t'ing 's goin' for pass away,
But down on de Gulf of St. Laurent
W'ere de sea an' de reever meet
An' off on St. Pierre de Miquelon,
De chil'ren on de street
Can tole you story of Pierre Guillaume,
De sailor of St. Yvonne
Dat 's bringin' de Rose Delima home
Affer he 's dead an' gone.

Still In Love

Still in love
Still in love
Still in love
Still in love
[verse 1]
Thinkin maybe
Things are gonna turn around
Despite the arguments
We can see eye-to-eye
Over (over), over (over)
Keeps playin in my mind
This here aint right for me
Too young to be held down
[bridge]
I fall for you
Each time, each time
This aint no sayin
I get stuck
All of the good times
Way down, the bad times

[Verse]
They call me Big papa B
Big Money, Big Billy
When I'm sliding in them all can ya hear me?
I be sexing wit these bars so ya feel me

Let me grip it get a buzz in ya hat

Bring the women in to chill for free

Ma Be Easy

Uh, uh, yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[verse 1]
Yo, I aint got no reason to trick or spend
Mami, Im the reason the chicks begin cheesein and snickerin
Playa like me? every season these chicks have been
Talkin how I came through the ps in a sicker benz
Heard about the platinum visas the bricker bends
Jewels so icey I need freezers to sitck em in
I bes in the keys wit a click of friends
Trees and a liquor blend, I be too queezy and sick to grin
I dont care if a skeezer is thick or thin
Its gon look like she havin a seizure I stick it in
Skeos say can I get the keys to ya six again?
After I nut, thats when amnesia be kickin in
Most broads I done met, aint see a guy
Who spend a g on gucci ts, five for sweats
Im what chicks strive to get, I stay in the p.js
You thinkin (? ) Im talkin pivate jets, uh

Rock & A Hard Place

Chorus:
Im stuck between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep looking and aint no dough
So I dont wanna look no more
Verse 1:
I need to get away to another day or place or time
And find where reality can ease my mind
And shine on me like the sun to the earth
For what its worth my turf is rough and
Rugged so I gave birth
To a dream where cream lies between all the
Dirt and the gravel so I battle to achieve my green
And still try to move forward at a steady pace
Cause bad luck is interfering with my paper chase
So I erase the crime lies and sad cries
Wit sore eyes and keep mines on the uprise
But it dont work cause Im steady getting jerked
By my neighborhood up to no good where bad niggas lurk
They irk me leavin affects that too negative

Seasoned

[e-40]
Uh, you in a new school whip custom painted candy apricot butter
Im in an antique oldschool four door muffler draggin beat up duster
Wit scrapes and scratches, nicks and scars
Yall git to drink out of wine glasses, we gotta drink out of jelly jars
Down and out like four flat tires no washing machine nor dryer
Just ah pillow sack
And ah bunch of clothes wrapped in a sheet on our way to the laundrymat
Will I ever get paid, can I make a dollar out of fifteen cent
Yallz got it made, we broke and starvin barely payin the rent
Sleepless nights, alligator tears
Mommy arguin wit my daddy, daddy drunk too many beers
911 mr.po, po dey aint happy wit day marriage
Pops tryna beat her down and make her have a miscarriage
My cousin shoots the needle, she be gone for days
She on that da ah diesel, she gone end up wit aids
I told her I love her but you know what she said to me
Everybody got a gay or atleast one dope fiend in they family
You aint the only one wit a reject in yo family
Thats real

EPISTLE II: TO A LADY (Of the Characters of Women )

NOTHING so true as what you once let fall,
"Most Women have no Characters at all."
Matter too soft a lasting mark to bear,
And best distinguish'd by black, brown, or fair.

How many pictures of one Nymph we view,
All how unlike each other, all how true!
Arcadia's Countess, here, in ermin'd pride,
Is, there, Pastora by a fountain side.
Here Fannia, leering on her own good man,
And there, a naked Leda with a Swan.
Let then the Fair one beautifully cry,
In Magdalen's loose hair and lifted eye,
Or drest in smiles of sweet Cecilia shine,
With simpering Angels, Palms, and Harps divine;
Whether the Charmer sinner it, or saint it,
If Folly grow romantic, I must paint it.

Come then, the colours and the ground prepare!
Dip in the Rainbow, trick her off in Air;

Epistles to Several Persons: Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot

Neque sermonibus vulgi dederis te, nec in præmiis spem posueris rerum tuarum; suiste oportet illecebris ipsa virtus trahat ad verum decus. Quid de te alii loquantur, ipsi videant,sed loquentur tamen.
(Cicero, De Re Publica VI.23)["... you will not any longer attend to the vulgar mob's gossip nor put your trust in human rewards for your deeds; virtue, through her own charms, should lead you to true glory. Let what others say about you be their concern; whatever it is, they will say it anyway."
Shut, shut the door, good John! fatigu'd, I said,
Tie up the knocker, say I'm sick, I'm dead.
The dog-star rages! nay 'tis past a doubt,
All Bedlam, or Parnassus, is let out:
Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand,
They rave, recite, and madden round the land.

What walls can guard me, or what shades can hide?
They pierce my thickets, through my grot they glide;
By land, by water, they renew the charge;
They stop the chariot, and they board the barge.
No place is sacred, not the church is free;
Ev'n Sunday shines no Sabbath-day to me:
Then from the Mint walks forth the man of rhyme,
Happy! to catch me just at dinner-time.

Is there a parson, much bemus'd in beer,
A maudlin poetess, a rhyming peer,

The Progress of Taste, or the Fate of Delicacy

Part first.

Perhaps some cloud eclipsed the day,
When thus I tuned my pensive lay:
The ship is launch'd-we catch the gale-
On life's extended ocean sail:
For happiness our course we bend,
Our ardent cry, our general end!
Yet, ah! the scenes which tempt our care
Are, like the forms dispersed in air,
Still dancing near disorder'd eyes,
And weakest his who best descries!'
Yet let me not my birthright barter,
(For wishing is the poet's charter;
All bards have leave to wish what's wanted,
Though few e'er found their wishes granted;
Extensive field! where poets pride them
In singing all that is denied them).
For humble ease, ye Powers! I pray;
That plain warm suit for every day,
