Ynw Melly – I ain t Lying Lyrics. ‘She Ain’t Lying’: Tamar Braxton Writes PSA from ‘Tha Baby Mama’s Club,’ Fans Assume She’s Taking Shots At Her Ex-Husband and Defend Her "She Ain't You" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown. "Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me" // Bruce is referring to 'running back inside' as Mary going back to the life she's retreated to for so long. Show Less. Lyrics. I Ain’t Lying By YNW Melly. A very informal way of emphasizing that something that was just said is the truth. Learn more. The mid-tempo R&B, pop-flavored ballad was written by Brown, Jean Baptiste, Ryan Buendia, Kevin McCall and Jason Boyd, and was produced by Free School. I've been reworking the song into a very basic blues that sounds a warning about the shadow elements of the industrial-scientific establishment and humanity's need to escape the technocratic road to death currently being unleashed on our planet.Sea lion woman, seelah.She drink coffee, seelah.She drink tea, seelah,In the candle light, seelah.I've got a horse, seelah,and a buggy, too, seelah.and the horse is black, seelah, and the buggy's blue, seelah.Please be careful, seelah,what you do, seelah,Yonder little girl, seelah,will get you too, seelah.See that man, seelah,blue shirt on, seelah.You'd better leave, seelah,that man alone, seelah.Repeat first verse. “The opera ain’t over until the fat lady sings.” So while Cook didn’t actually coin the phrase, his utterance did result in its popularization via inspiring Bullets coach Dick Motta to borrow the phrase and repeat it frequently during their playoff run that year as a sort of rallying cry against overconfidence. When I found your site I was so pleased. Singers: Katherine and Christine Shipp; collectors: John A. and Alan Lomax. Thanks for your comments, stumpedII.I guess we may never know what the original version of this song was. The phrase "She lyin" (or "she's lying" as one guest wrote it) was said in response to a call & response tattle tail type statement such as one person saying "she drank coffee" and the second person saying "(No I didn't) She lyin'". But it seems to me that the verse"Watch out girls (Sea line)You gonna steal your fella"and other lyrics to this song support the position that the word in that song is "balls" instead of "bawls". Also, since these songs aren't written, different people would have slightly different versions (like in a game of telephone, everybody hears something slightly different). And yes, according to the information that we have, the song's composers were Gullah. "However, I'm still open to reading other people's comments in support of other theories about that song. :o)Thanks for sharing! It just makes sense... or MORE sense." So I would place very little weight on the girls' version for this reason.If the KCRW source is credible (and this seems to be buttressed by the Nina Simone version), it's very unlikely that the refrain is 'She Lyin'. could be to a train or subway line a poor woman has to take to reach her rich clients.As for the pronunciation, I'll tell you a story: I'm from the south myself, Texas. "It seems to me that such a custom would have been documented somewhere. That it is about women lined up. Either, "he is not misrepresenting (himself)" or "he embodies the truth (in regards to the question/idea at hand)" 2) "I ain't no money"/"I ain't money" = Probably, "I am not made of money" and/or "I do not have an endless supply of money, in regards to..." = I am not going. I guess part of the fun, as others have noted, is that we will not know precisely since folk music was not "documented" as everything is now! As a black person of African descent, I can tell you that when black children sing folk songs, they (like most children) often don't understand the words they're using, and so substitute them with what they think they're hearing, and sometimes with similar words. Thinking that this song is about selkies isn't that much a reach given for those who know about selkies-but it's not the correct meaning.I love Celtic mythology!Best wishes!! And congratulations! as compared to the racy excitement of touching on adult subjects in the playground away from the judgmental ears of adults. I think that this "sparse" version.. was due to the fact it was a playground song.. something sung amongst your friends on the play ground.. not in front of your preacher and parents.. so it might be sparse.. because it was sanitized when sung in front of their minister father and govt stranger. It's rather bizarre to talk of 'documenting' the behaviour of prostitutes. What sounded like a children's song was most likely adults passing gossip or spreading news right under the seer's nose. Let me talk my s**t cause like (Straight up) I came up from motherfuckin nothin And I got them permanents in my mouth man Ayy look man I just went to Johnny Dang man And I m talkin like Johnny Dang man (I m talkin like Johnny Dang b***h permanent) ]The song definitely uses call and response. So this means nobody can know for sure, but the most likely explanation for me is actually the one provided by KCRW:http://blogs.kcrw.com/rhythmplanet/the-real-meaning-to-nina-simones-classic-song-sealine-woman/This says the Nina Simone version is actually a 19th century folk song about female prostitutes who lined up at the port to tempt sailors. She Ain't Youunknown. But it's possible that a woman who balled all night could decide to change her lifestyle and go back home "to save her soul". Sea Lion Woman could be referring to the fact that Sea Lions are said to be highly intelligent and social AND THEY choose their males (lek system)...hence the SEA LION WOMAN!! Having considered all points of view and sources, I am as comfortable as I can be that this is a 19th century folk song about port prostitutes passed down through generations until a pair of little girls sung a version they'd heard from grownups, and distorted it due to their limited childish understanding, while Nina Simone popularised the more accurate, adult version. I don't think you can credibly ignore the chronology here. Tone :"Damn, my breath is stankin' ". You seem very partial to the idea that the refrain is 'She Lyin'. This makes sense, as I'm sure nobody believes these little girls were songwriters. and it would have been petty and unchristian to so immortalize one persons lie. Way ta go, Azizi. Growing up "in Church" during the 60's, I remember preacher reading a Psalm and saying the Selah at the end of a phrase.
