well, why didn't you say it ws for lyrics??? that's a no brainer.

When it *comes* to lyrics, fuck the grammar for sure, go with 
what sounds good. I think you made the right choice unless you 
want to sound like English students who are writing songs. 
English grammar is whack anyway if you ask me. i never could 
make any sense out of it. It's old and tired and needs a 
makeover. Ebonics make much more sense as a method of 
communication than straight University white people Engish.

Mark C, you're probably right, I don't claim to know these things.

peace out,
