What are some of the best lyrically written songs that you listen too? Great lyrics are just as big a part as good music to go along with it. Put them both together in a song and you've done something pretty damn awesome. Here are my first 2 entries, both songs are by Mike Pinto. He's an amazing lyricist, and his songs kick ass. Ok CP, what ya got?


Knocked up

Betty got knocked up,
while the husband was locked up,
baby was unplanned,
and the papa was a mailman.
it was a special delivery,
with no signs of chivalry,
a knock at the door,
and Betty got what she was looking for,
on the bathroom floor.
Spread her legs as her husband served a 5-to-10,
even embezzling money form the government,
well fuck the government.
Shes a sucker for a man in uniform,
hes a mother-fucker lyin' called her beautiful,
both were good and ready,
Betty got sweaty,
you could cut the tension with a dull machete.
Oh, Betty got locked up,
husband was locked up,
answers to the name of Xavier,
tryin' his best to get out on good behavior.
Meanwhile, Bettys got a child inside her,
no man, no man could be her provider, or stand beside her

The mailman ain't convinced one bit,
he just thinks that Betty needs a man around to babysit.
Well it was cool when he was all up in her,
but hes stickin' around cooking no ones dinner, well its
too bad, the love that they had
faded to fast, you know the mailman couldn't last too long
too long, so here I go with another fucking love song.
Well Betty thinks its time to go to court,
cuz she could really use the child support,
but from the start you know that Betty had the case won,
the mailman's gonna need a second occupation
OoOoh
Betty got knocked up, husband was locked up
baby was unplanned, papa was a mailman
special delivery, HA,
no signs of chivalry, HA,
knock at the door and Betty got what she was looking for,
Looking back at all these things in retrospect
shes wonder when her heart? Xavier's gonna wring her neck.
He's gonna wring her neck,
her neck, her neck! Ooh!
And late one night she got a call on the telephone,
thought it was Xavier with the news he was coming home
but no, it was the mailman on the Coastal Highway
he went postal, shot somebody!
He said goodbye and he drove his car into the ocean,
she shed no tear cuz in her heart she was hopin'
to pay a visit to her lover in stripes,
"Ya know the babys got the mailmans eyes?"
Ooh! Betty got knocked up!
Betty got knocked up, YEA! YEA! YEA!
Yes she did, yes she did, yes she did.
Ooh, Betty got knocked up.


Tricky Nicki

Tricky Nicky always ran around town
She’s the type of girl who'll turn your frown upside-down
Five fucking minutes in the sack and you’ll return
With a dozen roses and some weed to burn
Shit you think I’m babbling but Nicky’s always dabbling
With coke she’ll smoke your grass, toss your ass like a javelin
Before you get thrown here’s advice of my own
You better take out a mother-fucking loan

And it goes...

Tricky Nicky’s gonna spread her disease
Don’t bother to play the father. She can’t have no babies
She’ll take your money and she’ll take your Benz
And for a tab of ecstasy she’ll do you and a friend
What a shame, what a shame Tricky Nicky’s not the same
As she was before she got sucked in the cocaine game
The coke she’d steal would make her feel good for an hour or two
‘Til she woke up with her throat cut in a hospital room

Oh you’ll have to forgive me I have spoke too much
You see as my pen hits the paper my lips hit the Dutch
Well you know how that goes but lets continue to flow about
Poor old Tricky Nicky’s scenario

It was an emergency as she went under the knife
As doctors urgently tried to save Nicky’s life
There was a burglary and she was too high to fight
Cause she was staying with a dealer that she met that night
Woah...

Tricky Nicky always ran around town
She’s the type of bitch who'll turn your frown upside-down
Five fucking minutes in the sack and you’ll return
With a dozen roses and some weed to burn
Shit you think I’m lying but Nicky didn’t die
And the scar on her neck would only reflect the pain she keeps inside
So pass the story right on through
'Cause that is all that you can do
'Cause Tricky Nicky’s coming to a town near you
