Better Cut That Out
Cut the Vices, Embrace the Virtues: Sonny Boy's Wise Warning
Lyrics
A-now-now, when you see a drunk man
When witnessing a drunken person
It made-a you mad
It angers you
When you get drunk
Upon becoming intoxicated
You look-a just as bad
Your appearance becomes unsightly
You better cut that out
Advising to stop the behavior
Yeah, you better cut that out
Emphasizing the need to cease
You better cut that out, boy
Reiterating the warning
Befo' it be too, late
Before it becomes too late
A-now-now, when you get high
When under the influence of drugs
You know now, you'll get worse
Consequences worsen
When you get drunk
Similar to when drunk
You throw a rock in a hearst
Causing trouble even in solemn situations
You better cut that out
Repeated advice to stop
Yeah, you better cut that out
Reiterating the urgency
Ya better cut that out, boy
Stressing the importance of cessation
Befo' it be too, late
Warning about the impending consequences
I see you're on your knees
Observing someone in a vulnerable state
You know you mistreat a friend
Noticing mistreatment of a friend
The next thing you know
Forewarning about self-reflection
You'll been wonderin' where you been
Anticipating confusion about one's actions
You better cut that out
Reiterating the need to stop
Yeah, you better cut that out
Emphasizing the urgency
Ya better cut that out, boy
Repeat warning to cease
Befo' it be too, late
Before facing irreversible consequences
Ya went downtown
Having gone to the city
Ya say, you didn't go to stay long
Claiming a short stay
The next time I saw ya
Discovering the person elsewhere
You's in another man's home
In another's residence
You better cut that out
Repeated advice to stop
Yeah, you better cut that out
Emphasizing the urgency
Ya better cut that out, boy
Reiterating the warning
Befo' it be too, late
Before it becomes too late
Well now, when you get high
When under the influence of drugs
You don't know what to do
Feeling lost and uncertain
You say you get high
Using substances to cope with emotions
Because you feelin' blue
Expressing sadness as a reason
An you better cut that out
Repeated advice to stop
Yeah, you better cut that out
Emphasizing the urgency
Well, ya better cut that out, boy
Reiterating the warning
Befo' it be too, late
Before it becomes too late
