Gummer Beaudine - Ain't A Gonna Let It Pass!

 Gummer Beaudine's latest is a fooler. She starts out singing a heartfelt ballad in a voice that is surprisingly sweet. Just as we were getting into a style of singing we didn't know she had, she hollers out some word accompanied by the drums, and launches into the actual song in her recognizable style. But there seems to be a difference in style. She's still raucous, but even that's tempered somewhat and doesn't go on for an entire song. Part of it is she's accustomed herself better to recording in a studio instead of being recorded in a bar performing live. And there's a distinct variety in hr delivery from when we first heard her. We're not complaining either way! Her artistry is evolving, and she's now got more of an incentive to tone down and shape her songs more than she used to. People that still go to bars and here her assure us she's still the same ol' Gummer, so she has learned to turn the bar style on and off, which is a good thing. Nobody can evolve their talent by sticking to a very narrow lane of creativity! When we talk to her now she appears to be a little more poised, a little more confident. It's nice to know that the diamond in the rough is getting some polish, but only one side of it! The other side remains loud and rough, just like her bar fans like it! 

When ya lived as long as I have
Lots a water over the dam
Took me many a long year
To figger out who I am

But in these later years
See others just be themself
I try to give them respect
And want the same for myself

Been abused ever which way
Never did complain or say
Always took it, no ifs ands or buts
Always took it, no ifs ands or buts

BUT NO MORE! MAN'LL GIT A KICK IN THE NUTS!
WOMAN’LL GIT A SLAP ‘CROSS THE FACE!

Ain't gonna be a chump no more
Ain't gonna take it on the chin
If you cain't treat me with respect
Then we ain't even gonna begin

Wasted enough of my life
Kissin' somebody's ass
They say to forgive and forget
But I ain't a gonna let it pass!

Go head call me a mean ass bitch
I no longer give a shit!
Done with all this passive stuff
Ain't got nothin' left of it.

Wasted enough of my life
Kissin' somebody's ass
They say to forgive and forget
But I ain't a gonna let it pass!

Say that revenge is mighty sweet
But I ain't lookin' for that
Wanna be respected is all
If ya cain't, I'll leave ya flat!

Wasted enough of my life
Kissin' somebody's ass
They say to forgive and forget
But I ain't a gonna let it pass!

Say that revenge is oh so sweet
Ain't lookin' for none of that
Wanna be respected is all
If ya cain't, I'll shore leave ya flat!

Wasted enough of my life
Kissin' somebody's ass
They say to forgive and forget
But I ain't a gonna let it pass!
