“hey there young man, why degrade your only sister, and call them bitches and whores?// what if one day// someone feels the same way// about that daughter of yours?// oh if you had one inkling of an idea of what they had to go through// of course she's strong but she's still depending on you.”But regrettably, the majority of the songs on this album are pathetic attempts to exploit Cee-Lo's obviously limited singing ability. “Spend a Night In Your Mind” is the artist's attempt at recording some classic “baby-making” music. Borrowing the main theme from dead prez's “Mind Sex,” ‘Lo makes an attempt at sing seductively to entice an unnamed woman into bed. The music is extremely discordant here, as the background music the keyboards and synths provide truly don't mesh well with the melody the artist sings. It's almost like the vocal and musical segments were created and recorded independently of each other, then witlessly combined in post-production. Then with “Live (Right Now),” the artist tried for his Metal merit badge by layering grinding guitar riffs and glam keyboards over a standard syncopated Dirty South beat. He even makes his voice a little more rough as he sing/raps throughout the piece.
