If It Ain't One Thing It's Annuddah (Bruddah) Songtext / Lyric

[Intro: Prince Markie Dee]



Man, all these problems in our world today

I just don't know what to do, man



[Verse One: Prince Markie Dee]



If it ain't one thing, it's another

Sell a million copies? They put me on a magazine cover

I sell one or two, they claim that I'm played out

My girl nags me at home, so, I shoulda stayed out

I buy a new car, it runs out of gas

In school, I was always gettin' kicked out of class

Mom would say, "Be like your older brother!"

If it ain't one thing it's another



[Talk: Prince Markie Dee]



You know what I'm sayin' man?

I mean, all these problems

Let me tell ya 'bout the time when I - Well, let me break it down for ya



[Verse Two:] Prince Markie Dee






Picked up my date at eight in a happy mood

Drove to City Island for some seafood

$3.99 for all you can eat

Shrimp galore, bon apetit

We ate hearty 'till we couldn't eat

Went to the Marriott, paid for a suite

She was anxious even more that me

And, man, I got busy as a bumblebee

When we were done, I drove her home

Proceeded to my house, all alone

It started rainin', I was playin' Bobby Brown

I missed my exit, so, I circled around

And that's when it happened, I didn't get far

A pole jumped in front of my car

I broke my leg, man, do I stutter?

If it ain't one thing, it's anuddah, bruddah



[Verse Three:] Kool Rock Ski



On tour for so long that it wears me down

I've been to every city and every small town

And, after a while, things start to ache

I want my body to move, that d-mn thing won't shake

Then, one night, the last date on tour

From that morning my throat was sore

I started gettin' worried, it wound't be long

'Cause the way my throat was hurtin', it would soon be gone

Then, wouldn't you know? You know it, yes

I tried to say somthin' but I was voiceless

Showtime came, I had to lip-synch

It got so wild that I couldn't think

The show was done, a doctor checked my health

I spent the night all by myself

Man, what a bummer, what did I stutter?

If it ain't one thing, it's anuddah, bruddah
