Artist Profile
Nappy Roots
Country and proud of it, Nappy Roots formed in 1995 around a sextet of students attending Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. Four members of the group were Kentucky natives (Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, and Big V), bolstered by a pair of Oakland-born transplants (R. Prophet and Milledgeville).
Nappy Roots began making music together at a local record shop-cum-studio named ET's Music, and released their full-length debut, Country Fried Cess, in 1998. Drawn to the group's distinctive twist on Southern bounce, the major labels began flocking, and they eventually signed to Atlantic.
Their first album on Atlantic was 2002's biggest selling hip-hop album, "Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz". The multi-platinum album featured the hit-singles "Headz Up", "Awnaw", and "Po' Folks". The "Awnaw (Remix)" ft Marcos of P.O.D. appeared on Madden 2003. and the follow-up, Wooden Leather, arrived one year later. After several delays, the group released its anticipated album The Humdinger in August 2008; it was the first not to feature R. Prophet, who had left the group to pursue a solo career. Their second album as a quintet, The Pursuit of Nappyness, was issued two years later.
The group has sold over 5 million records, has 2 Grammy nomination, 1 MTV Video Music Award nomination, 2 American Music Award nominations as well as a Soul Train Award nomination.

Fishbowl
Swimming in a fishbowl...
Cuz the moods so right
Got my sun shades on
Got my drinks on ice and they playin my song
Fishbowl, swimming in a fishbowl
We’ll laugh, well dance all night long (2x)
The night is young, lets have some fun (4x)
Verse 1
Cats meow, dogs bark
lovers kiss romanticless
While I do a little bit,
things she do, little s*
red and white turns pink
I am here to make you think
there’s a smile, there’s a grin
twitter please, I’m a friend
I’m your man, you know me
just trust me, ay papi
I do say, you do care
come with I , take you there
Well good good lord
look what we have here
A weak man in the ever clear
let’s make a toast for an amazing year
to all my real G’s and my ladies in here
Chorus
Cuz the moods so right
Got my sun shades on
Got my drinks on ice and they playin my song
Fishbowl, swimming in a fishbowl
We;ll laugh, well dance all night long (2x)
The night is young, lets have some fun (4x)
Verse 2
Well my call hit
and say there he go and that crunk s*
tell security I’m in here beat
tell the women they comin wit me
bring some bottles for me and my peeps
skip the bar we in VIP
tell the owner we out here geeked
rollin weed and we standin on seats
al we want is our lives on lust
do our songs and get back on the bus
guess the owner done paid his fee
just to say his club got me
well it is what it is if your hot your hot
gotta do it big , if you not you flop
Plenty more fish if one could swim
Half of the club is gettin it all on film
Chorus
Cuz the moods so right
Got my sun shades on
Got my drinks on ice and they playin my song
Fishbowl, swimming in a fishbowl
We’ll laugh, well dance all night long (2x)
The night is young, lets have some fun (2x)
Verse 3
Swimmin along in a fish bowl
Drinkin patron like your sisqo
we ready to dip
two of the women is raw
yea I think Ima fall in the disco
they gettin it on on the dancefloor
I dive right in on the get go
Its turnin into a sex show
we dancin slow to the techno
now we headed back to the VIP
we feelin kinda special
and everythin gonna be alright
lets make tonight official
hey, gotta keep it movin, if you don’t you don’t
you can have what you want if it floats your boat
chillin in the gut called VIP
life’s too short if the drinks ain’t free
Chorus
Cuz the moods so right
Got my sun shades on
Got my drinks on ice and they playin my song
Fishbowl, swimming in a fishbowl
We’ll laugh, well dance all night long (2x)
The night is young, lets have some fun (2x)
