Lyrics 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.
Hit me!

Papa don't Papa don't take no mess, no!
Papa 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!
Ooh!

Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't Papa don't take no mess. Hey, hey!

Papa digs the chick
If she look real slick. Oww!
Papa rap is very quick
He defintely ain't no trick
Ooh, yeah!

Papa don't Papa don't take no mess.
Papa don't take no mess.

Wait... Wait a minute.
Lookie here!
Papa... Don't take papa light
'Cause when pop gets uptight
He knows he's right.
You've got yourself a fight.
Hit me!
Ooh!

Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't Papa don't take no mess
Ooh yeah!
Alright!

Papa is the man
Who will take a stand.
Papa don't take no mess.
Papa don't Look... Ha!... 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.
Ugh!
Ooh!
Lord!

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 when he thought that I would die.
He said something was in his eye.
I knew it was a lie.
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!

Papa don't Papa don't take no mess.
Papa got soul,
Papa got a heart of gold.
Papa don't Hit me!
Alright! Oww!

Papa is the man who can understand
How a man has to do what he had to do.
Whatever he can.
Papa is the guy who might seem shy,
... by the suit with a little skinny tie.
Ehh, Lord!
Ugh!

Papa don't Papa don't take no mess.
Papa don't Papa don't take no mess.
Augh! No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
Papa don't take no mess.

Papa didn't cuss
He didn't raise a whole lotta fuss.
But when we did wrong
Papa beat the hell out of us.
Oww!

Papa don't take no mess.
Papa don't Papa don't take no mess. Papa don't take no mess. Papa don't take no mess. Papa don't, Papa don't Papa don't take no mess. Papa got soul,
A heart full of gold.
Papa don't take no... Heh!
Papa don't take no mess.
