Super! heavy! funk! hot! hot! hot! and bad!
Hey 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- Papa don't
Papa don't take no mess no
He don't take no mess
Now papa might grin
Drank a little taste of gin
Bet his last ten on a little game of skin
Hit me!
Wahoo Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't- Papa don't- Papa don't
Papa don't- Papa don't
Papa don't take no mess
Hey-hey!

If she look real slick hoo!
Papa rap is very quick
You devil it ain't no trick
Oh yeah!
Don't Papa- don't Papa- don't Papa-
Don't Papa- don't Papa- don't Papa-
Don't take no mess
Don't take no messs!
Wait! wait a minute
Look-a-here! Papa!
Don't take- Papa likes
'Cause when Papa gets uptight
He knows he's right
Huh! you got yourself a fight
Hit me!
Waaaahoooo!
Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't take nooo mess!
Papa don't- Papa don't- Papa don't
Papa don't- Papa don't- Papa don't

Papa is the man who'll take a stand
Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't- papa don't papa don't
A don't a papa don't
Look! 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 uh!
Yeah-heeeeeey! don't
A don't papa- don't papa- don't papa
Don't papa- don't papa- don't papa
Papa don't take no mess
Papa don't take nooo mess!
I saw papa cry
When he thought that I would die
Look-a-here
I saw papa cry
When he thought that I would die
He says something was in his eye
I knew it was a lie
Mama said "Papa's smart"
Papa got a whole lot-ta heart
And papa would do his part
When the game get hard
Hit me! Oooooh!
Papa don't- papa don't- papa don't
Papa don't- papa don'tPapa don't take no mess
