Earl St. Clair
Fed Up
[Verse 1]
I ain't got time to roll the [?]
But if I don't then how I'm gon' eat?
I'm doing just fine with all of this pride
I'm lucky I got somewhere to sleep

I'm living on the word of other peoples' promises
That I don't think they even gon' keep (they not gon' keep)
But they said I could "move in" and "don't worry about the rent"
But they really want me out on the streets

If they show you who they are
You better believe them now
'cause if you don't you're gonna have problems
You wanna worry around
And put yourself in the ground
'cause that's what happens when you allow them

[Chorus]
But it ain't that type of party (oh no)
Imma' make it baby, you're gonna see (gonna see)
'cause it ain't that type of party (oh no)
Imma' be anywhere you wanna be

'cause I'm sick and tired
Of all the damn lies
Tell me, why you gotta be so shady? (so shady)
Can you give me your word
Or nothing at all, baby
Tell me, why you gotta be so shady (so shady)

I think I might be fed up
Might be fed up
Might be fed up
Might be fed up

I think I might be fed up
Might be fed up
Might be fed up
(why you bein' so shady?) [x2]

[Verse 2]
You should never put your foot on another man neck
Just to get another step up the ladder
'cause the people going up will be the same coming down
And you never know if somebody matters

But the circle gets smaller every time I turn around
Lot of unfamiliar faces in the same old crowd
Getting life for old strangers in a brand new town
I'll let this record break me 'fore I let you break me down

'cause it ain't that type of party (oh no)
Imma' make it baby, you're gonna see (gonna see)
'cause it ain't that type of party (oh no)
Imma' be anywhere you wanna be
'cause I'm sick and tired
Of all the damn lies
Tell me, why you gotta be so shady? (so shady)

Can you give me your word
Or nothing at all, baby
Tell me, why you gotta be so shady (so shady)

I think I might be fed up
Might be fed up
Might be fed up
Might be fed up

I think I might be fed up
Might be fed up
Might be fed up
(why you being so shady?) [x3]
