Lyrics

Yeah, all of that ass you carrying You gotta be shitting me All that body that you came with But where are you mentally I know he hit all the time But you ain't gonna hit for me I just want a funky song and loving What's behind them tig-ol-bittiesThey say the heart is underneath Underneath and guarded in securities I finally found the key Underneath the garments that's the double D'sOpen your heart, express the malt, baby Don't turn a frown, make an ass out yourself, baby Open your heart What's behind them tig-ol-bittiesI'm around a little bit of berries You my Ju-Ju-Be I don't need nothing to distract me From this connectivity You know I see it all the time The same old shit to me I just wanna know what's under That tender titty meatThey say the heart is underneath Underneath and guarded in securities I finally found the key Underneath the garments that's the double D'sOpen your heart, express the malt, baby Don't turn a frown, make an ass out yourself, baby Open your heart What's behind them tig-ol-bittiesBefore you go and pop that bottom baby Before you go and get butt naked baby I know you gotta little baggage baby Never mind I'mma look past it Got cans in the cooler, let me handle it baby Two jugs I'm gonna start grasping you baby Separation between truth and the fake You can get a new rack for five k You can get a rapper by Friday You gon' have to replace these cheesecake, just save it Can a nigga squeeze or should I just be safe (Yeah for-sure) Tell me what it reads on the expiration date (Well I just got them, should be good for about ten years or so) I really feel the D when a nigga deep in the hole But do you feel the peace when I was sucking that baby doll (Can you fuck me already?)Open your heart, express the malt, baby Don't turn a frown, make an ass out yourself, baby Open your heart What's behind them tig-ol-bitties Open your heart, express the malt, baby What's behind them tig-ol-bitties

Our practices are derived from what we needed to do as children to survive, [to bring joy]

Remember to play, a poem by Jenny Justice

We forget what it is like to laugh, to play,

we forget what it is like to simply exist in moments of joy.

The one thing that separates adults from kids — is not age, not time, not wisdom,

not responsibilities, bills, work or the things we label as ‘adult’ that are just ‘bad’ habits dressed up as something we’ve

earned a right to do — drink, gamble, use people, use each other, be snide, be snarky, suppress feelings —

no, what makes an adult an adult it is the inability to play without fear to play without restraint,

to play without feeling foolish — we forget, we forget, we forget — and we mourn a bit, sure —

because of the bills, because of the work, because we confuse things like bars and drinking or parties or thrills for play,

when these things are not play — play is an endeavor of the spirit,

playfulness is an attitude of pure glee, playing is curiosity in action, discovery, pretending —

play is approaching each moment as new, full of beautiful possibility, of imagination

play is grace and laughter even when falling and crawling — play is

using our bodies, hearts, minds and spirits to explore the world around us with kindness and awe.

We forget this, we forget this — - we have to remember,

we have to make time all of us,

children, adults, men, women — we have to remember to play.
