Yeah, I think it's about that time, baby
My name is Victa and I'm a winner
And I know what I'm talking about
And just 'cause I come out on top
Don't mean I'm leaving you out
Oh yes, I'm a tricksta but not a sinner
And you may not agree
Before you start to criticize
Are you talking 'bout you or me?
'Cause I'm your brother, your friend
I'm so much a part of you
To be the Victor, deal with who you are
Before you worry about what to do
I'm right here with ya, not against ya
It may look like deceit
But I am always on your side
Even when we compete, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, it's not always the answer
All you have to do is pay
When you understand the message
Then you have the right to say
My name is Victa
And I'm so finger funking good
You could never wash off this funk debris
Even if you could
My name is Victa
And I encourage you to learn how he plays
'Cause in practice there is a perfection
Now tell them what I say, my name is
And for all you players out there
I want you to pull up a chair
And sit down somewhere
My name is, I ain't gonna say it
It's already on your mind
Some may call it bragging
But I ain't got the time
I am coming to get ya
I'm sneaking up from behind
Don't worry, just a little bit more to say
May have to wait till tomorrow, it ain't gonna be today
I'm gonna tell my story, I don't know where to begin
The one thing that I know for sure, the Victor always wins
Ain't no worrying tomorrow
You just take care of today
And there's nothing left to borrow
Then you have the right to say
My name is Victa
And I'm playing like a player plays
My name is Victa
And I'm playing like a player plays
My name is
Ah, the name is Buddha, baby
Yeah, just put your hands right here
While I whisper in your ear
And just in case you didn't know
I'm here to tell you something
Let me hear you say play, Victa, play
Come on, come on, come on
My name is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Victa, yeah, yeah, yeah
My name is Victa
And I'm so finger funking good
You could never wash off this funk debris
Even if you could
My name is Victa
And I encourage you to learn how he plays
'Cause in practice there is a perfection
Now tell them what I say, my name is
Oh yeah, bobble, boot-rappafella here
For all the encouraging minds that wanna know
We're bringing you the real deal and not the deal-doe
Galactic isolation
Paranormal observation
Miscalculated calculations
Hey Victor, it's obvious
They are not paying attention
His name is Victa
Well I just got paid, it's Friday night
Feeling real good weekend in sight
Got a new phone, a new belt clip
Attached to my hip even got the chip
Now everyone can get touch with me
I got seven hundred minutes and weekends free
They even threw in an extra battery
So I can keep in touch with my family
Now everybody's is all in my mix
I had to go and learn all the cell phone tricks
When someone tries to talk to me I just act like
I'm talking on the phone you see
My signals weak, my battery's dead
It must be true, that's what I said
But if I ever get stranded I'm never alone
What would I do without my cell phone?
You gave me your number and I said I'd call
You said, wuz cool, no the type to bawl
You said you only used it for important calls
But you didn't pick up and I know you saw
My name, my number pop up on your screen
But you didn't pick up, yo, what that mean?
It don't mean nuthin', it ain't like that
Girl, you know I was gonna call you back
Aw man, stop playin', I heart what your sayin'
And I ain't trying to heat that jive
I bet you got girls calling from around the world
Boy, and you know that's faul
Hello! Can you hear me now?
I know you can hear me, can you hear me now?
Don't play me like that, can you hear me now?
What would I do without my cell phone?
Alright, let's see if I can dial this number and check my messages
You have fifteen new voice messages fifteen messages
I just got this phone, hey Vic, this is Kashif, what? Forget that

Victor, where have you been? I've been waiting for you to call me back
Yeah, Jimmy, now I got these hogs out here need 'tend to
Jimmy? Who is that? Gotta go gotta go
Ear piece, rough foam cheesy ring tones
Is it convenient or is it lost freedom?
The worst yet GPS mess, text message meet for Tex Mex
Nuclear soul studies have shown sixty nine cent if roam at home
Front screen cracked the phone's his dome
Call restricted ignore the phone *82 don't get me heated
Count ,I need Vic's number, the life that's led is the path that's paved
Message from my kids equals, first day flip phone second concaved
New car charger pleather, leather case
You ever in your life spent time on the road
Tell me Vic What would I do without my cell phone?
See there it goes again I'm way up in the sticks
Trying to get to Vic's for six
She's starting to get sick another dropped call
This bad reception leaves the wrong impression
The phone rings again guess who? No guess again
Can you hear me now? No? Then send a text
Cruisin' down the highway I wonder where the exit is
Before I get off, I send check the messages
Yo pick up the phone, you know who this is
And don't be trying to give me none of that
Can you hear me now?
What would I do without my cell phone?
And ye, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of cell
I will fear no dial tone for thou art with me
You gotta have somethin' on the bottom if you want have a band
Gotta have a strong foundation if you gonna make a stand
The bass is the center solid as a rock
When you're body starts moving you know you just can't stop

And I hope it never stops

Victors Child: Tell you wut.
Victor Wooten: Tell me what you what to be when you grow up.
Victor's Child 2: I'm a be a ballerina or a (unintelligible word)
Victor's Child: Can I tell you a lot of stuffis?
I once had a girl,
Or should I say
She once had me.
She showed me her room,
Isn? t it good?
Norwegian wood.
She asked my to stay and told me sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn? t a chair.
I sat on a rug
Biding my time,
Drinking her wine.
We talked until two,
And then she said,
? It? s time for bed?.
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
I told her I didn? t, and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke
I was alone,
This bird has flown,
So I lit a fire,
U are me and I am U.
I love u for who u are not what u do.
U are pure down to the core.
I know that u're still what u were before.
Do trust but not for show.
U will only believe what u don't know.
Don't try. Just allow.
Open up to love, baby, it will show u how.
(Chorus) I am your brother. U are my son.
We are your sister and the journey's almost done.
And u've heard it time and time again so tell me wont u listen then.
It's true when I say we all are one.
All is love so do not fear.
Your attachment to illusion is what keeps u here.
Do bless all that is wrong.
That is what allows u to sing your song.
True thoughts from what u feel.
Won't u open up your heart to what is real?
I AM and u are too.
If u will just choose me, I choose u.
Here we go talk about justice
Hush this we're not supposed to discuss this
We got to hide it in a song
We got to keep things quiet
They don't want us to riot
Got to make it like nothings wrong
Cause when you talk about politics
You got to talk about all of it
You can't leave nothing out
We need to walk up to the front door
Tell em we ain't taking it no more
Whats it all about, about justice
I said its about justice
And now my heats been turned off from my job
I've been laid off what am I gonna do
What is the shape i'm in because of my dark skin
Now I know that can't be true
And since we're all down here together
Got to work to make it better
Do out best for what its worth
But you now the rules are bent
When you have to pay rent just to live on Earth
Where're talking about justice
Well we talk about justice
It's all about justice
Justice
Justice
Justice
Break it down now
First I read about it
I tried to forget about it
I didn't think about it for a while
About what they mean
22 cops on the scene and only 4 go to trial
Its about justice
Its about justice
what you say
Its about justice
Tell everybody what we gotta have
Its about justice
Yeah, I mean, I know. It's a scary thought though. Well not really scary but sometimes
Something that's mind opening can appear scary.
I don't know, I just think we should all just sit down and think, even if we just think just
A little bit, um, the answers will probably all show up.
(Where would u lead them? Think about that. If the whole world decided to follow U.)
Yeah, absolutely. But before we can think about leading anybody, I think we should think about where we're leading ourselves. (Think about that.)
No, I know what u mean. It's not a job I would want, trying to lead anybody. I mean, I have trouble leading myself. (Where would u lead them?)
But if I had to lead anybody anywhere I think I would, I'd probably just try to lead them back to themselves.
Yeah, because, the self is not a place that u can lead anyone. Everybody would have to find their own way, and then the leading job would be over for me. I like that.
Yeah, but when we're first born, u know, we're our own person but soon after, u know, when we start to learn and we learn from our parents and we start to go to school, we really, quickly start to get away from ourselves.
I mean, u can't really go through any structured teaching, uh, learning establishment with your own ideas. U know, u're always taught to fit in. But what are we fitting into?
U know, don't color outside the lines. Who drew the lines in the first place. I don't know
(Think about that!)
Right. That makes sense. Yeah, but I've spent my whole life trying to be in control of myself. But I dislike any one or any situation that tries to control me.
So, check this out. My trying to control myself just causes me to dislike myself. I'm finally understanding it.
I should just let me be. That's what I ask everybody else to do.
Right, yeah exactly, yeah, the act of trying to control something usually means that there's something wrong with it, and so that means we have to control it obviously.
To control something usually means taking its freedom away. So why would I spend a life fighting for freedom, just so I can take it away. Um, In the name of control.
(If the whole world decided today, to follow u. where would u lead them? Think about that)
Vibrations? Yeah, it's actually pretty simple. The thing is nothing ever stops vibrating.
Scientists know that, I mean they'll tell u that everything is a vibration. Right, yeah.
I mean, things vibrate faster they may appear as light, slower it may appear as something solid or something like that. But even thoughts are vibrations.
But the key here is that nothing ever stops vibrating, ever.
So check it out. Everything that ever vibrated is still vibrating. Everything that ever was still is. That's cool.
Yeah, me too. It's really makes me want to pay attention to the vibrations that I'm putting out there.
"Cause do they ever go away? (Think about that!)
(If the whole world decided to follow u
)
OK, Yeah, It's been fun.
(
Where would u lead them?)
Close your eyes my son
bow your head down

She gave me a simple answer:
You don't unless you do!
wait a minute!
I wanna understand all this
What you want with me?
i'm not a religious kind of person
and she says:
You don't have to be!
I Don't know if i'm the right person to talk to
If you all my puzzle pieces are missed
She says:
I speak to everyone
But not every one listens
How i should treat my enemies?
The people i despise
He said:
The answer will make clear
When you see me in their eyes!
I don't care if you believe me or not
I know it was god!
I saw God in the other day!
She look like you, He look like me
I saw God in the other day!
She look like you, He look like
(solo)
I don't care if you believe me or not
I know it was god!
No! I spoke to God that day
You spoke to me to
And he said:
In the miracles he created the big one was you!
Now, you're all of this
Tell me what i'm supposed to do?
She said:
It is not up to me
It's really up to you!
Now my eyes are open
And i cleary see
All the thing i paied for in my life
I could get God for free!
Now i'm gonna share with you
Her part of worries that day
You might wanna think it's to you
she said:
If i only have one son
Then tell me

Send me 'round to the back door. Front won't let me in
It's hard to keep being peaceful when these kind of days
don't
Things will get better tomorrow, at least that's what
they say
But when I wake up in the morning it still looks like
today
If I could fly away I'd fly up to the sky, no one to ask
me why
I would be so free. Just carry me away
I guess I'll stay, help U find another way
No vacation, no holiday. I guess I'll do that another day
Can't get in through the front door. Send me 'round the
back
It's hard to keep being peaceful with stuff going on like
that
Ain't got no one to talk to. Talking just to me
See U in the future. I don't know where I'll be
If I could fly away I'd fly up to the sky, no one to ask
me why
I would be so free. Just carry me away
I guess I'll stay, help U find another way
I remember back years ago I lived my life without too many cares,
y'all
And the truth of mine so hard to find was hidden there between
so many lies
As the shadows roll across my face the light appears and show
another side now
Things I shoul know, no one told me, now I must go and I'm
begging U tonight...
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
this journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Now I lay myself down to sleep I pray my Lord will send me
someone to greet me
As the light appears it seems so clear the things I didn't
understand before
Now I'm looking over all my years I see now who the angel was
beside me
If I hurt U please forgive me. I still need U and I'm begging U
tonight...
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
this journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Everybody needs a prayer sometimes something to know that U care
when I'm
Searching so long and hard to find a little bit of piece of
mind
On my knees asking please, will U say a prayer for me?
Ask and U shall receive. It's hard to live in times like these
Fulfilling prophecies, over seas they're living with tragedies
It's hard to know what to do, say a prayer for me I'll play my
prayer for U
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
this journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
say a prayer for me
If I was your leader I would do my best
to keep that residue off my chest
I would gather my congress. I wouldn't hesitate
'Cause there's a new law and it ain't up for debate
The good book says, as far as I can tell
everybody's going to heaven or
Help me find out Lord,
gotta find a better way
There's a higher law we need to turn to and there's no more time to waste
We need to sit right down in the middle of the floor
instead of running all over the place
Open up your mind, it's time. We gotta leave those fears behind
There's not much time at all y'all, 'cause there's a higher law
Just like a magician, make me believe
that U ain't got nothin' hidden up your sleeve
Then U kill my brother 'cause U don't agree
It may make sense to U but it don't to me
I say going to church may be a start
But the good book is written in your heart
Don't U wait for tomorrow
It's best U start today
There's a higher law we need to turn to and there's no more time to waste
We need to sit right down in the middle of the floor
instead of running all over the place
Open up your mind, it's time. We gotta leave those fears behind
There's not much time at all y'all, 'cause there's a higher law
There's a new sun rising, coming over the hill
Ain't no use running U'd be better off standing still
And don't keep acting like we got to kill
'Cause it's time to go higher, higher, higher
There's a higher law
A higher law we need to turn to, or we may have to burn thru
Unless we choose to learn through, through from our mistakes
'Cause that's sho'nuff what it takes to reach the higher ground
To go from lost to found, so when the end times come
We'll still be around
Just like the song says, I'm talkin' 'bout a higher law
not the judge in city hall
Take off your watch 'cause the time is right now.
U Ain't Listenin' Anyhow!
There's a higher law we need to turn to and there's no more time to waste
We need to sit right down in the middle of the floor
instead of running all over the place
Open up your mind, it's time. We gotta leave those fears behind
There's times I lay and close my eyes
There's a pull I feel that I cannot describe
It's from the past, inside my soul
It makes me yearn for things of which I did not know
And it shows in my life, 'cause I'm intrigued so much at times I cry
And I know this inside, it's from the ancient days of old
full of stories to be told
Take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know
So, take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know
Take me there and let me be, let me learn the keys of harmony
I know I'm blind so let me see who the man is that I'm supposed to be
And I'll find a love that aims to take me to a plce above
Where I am right now, I need to go back there some way some how
I need to go back
Take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know
So, take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know
I don't really know what I mean, but I can tell U what I see
When I'm lying in between sleep and awake
Just do it
Just do it
Heeeyyyy
Just do it
Heeeyyyy
Once upon a time there were some relatives of yours and mine
The ancient ones that came before
We've done our best to lay them all to rest
It's hard to find them anymore (now that's for sure)
But sometimes when I close my eyes
I see that they're all still alive
There're living way down deep inside our hearts
Just talkin' to ya, livin' through ya
Trying to get us all to do our part
(So, when we gonna start?)
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
I think I'll take a walkabout before the calendar run's out
A vision quest to open up our minds
The spirits keep in touch with me
To let me know we're running out of time (yours and mine)
We all say that we're in tune but still we stay bed 'till noon
With all we see we still don't do enough
Two buildings fall. we're still in bed asleep
What does it take to wake us up? (I don't know)
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
(Vic, let's make it thick. Vic
make it thick, Vic, gonna make it thick. Say what!)
(I'm gonna give myself time. Everybody's going to jail on this, especially Vic. Here we go.)
(Chorus) Everybody wanna know what crime it is
Everybody's dancin' on the Funk
If u really want to feel the vibe we give
Why don't u come on and jump up to the Funk baby. Hit me!
Bad boy, bad boy, What u gonna do when he plays for u?
Bad boy, bad boy, droppin' the bomb notes while he's lookin' cool.
Bad boy, bad boy, what u gonna say when he hits the stage baby?
Watch out baby he's bassin' up the place.
Fresh out of "P" baby, University
and it's all elementary baby.
(Chorus)
That's what crime it is. What crime is it y'all?
That's what crime it is. What crime is it y'all?
That's what crime it is. What it be like?
That's what crime it is. What crime is it y'all?
Oh, I can't get enough of that sugar crisp, get funky Vic, get funky Vic.
I can't get enough of that sugar crisp.
How much is that muscle in the window baby?
Just let your fingers do the funkin' baby. It's Vic-A-Roonies baby.
"Hey Vic won't u turn that mutha up, u mutha.
That's what crime it is. That's what crime it is.
That's what crime it is. That's what crime it is.
Sometimes I feel like shackles on my feet
and handcuffs on my hands
'cause I wanna make u dance.
Is it illegal to have a good time with u?
While the sky's still blue
And the boogie's in my move.
Let's funk it up Vic so the party people can dance.
Shake shake, shake in your pants
And everybody gets a chance.
Yeah, 'cause that's what crime it is.
What it be like? What we roll like?
It's not illegal to commit this crime
But if'n u wanna hear me y'all say, "One more time."
It's not illegal to commit this crime.
I know that y'all can feel me u say, "One more time"
Vic, yeah, won't u come here quick and play me some of that lickin' stick baby.
What crime is it? That's what crime it is.
What crime is it? That's what crime it is.
What crime is it? That's what crime it is.
What crime is it? That's what crime it is.
Ah, play on Victor, yeah baby, U got the crime, U got the dime, I ain't got no mind.
Walking down the street
People that I see
Turn around and walk the other way.
I don't want no trouble
Stay in my own little bubble
That's a game I don't wanna play.
U can call me what u want.
I don't even know your name.
But Oooo my dear
Won't u hear me loud and clear?
I love u. I love u just the same.
(Chorus) I'm just singing my song
Hoping we get along, someday.
(Can't we get along, just get along?)
Then we all will be free.
U be u I'll be me, OK?
One says to the other
That u're my brother
Just as long as u look like me.
It would be a little better
If we all would sing together,
Harmonize in the same key.
The day is coming soon,
The day we will all understand.
But until we do, I will keep loving u
And then I'll see u in another land.
(Chorus)
Walking down the street one day
Everybody looked at me and turned the other way.
Tell me what did I do? What did I say?
What, is my hair too long? Did I do something too wrong? Do u not like my song?
I know I sing out of tune. I can auto fix it real soon.
I'm just a bass player not a singer. Not a talker just a thinker.
I guess I'll think for 2 beats.
1, 2 that was fun. Now I'm done.
Why u have to call me that name?
Can't u see that we're all the same?
Well if u can't see it who's the blame?
Just because I'm darker and u're lighter
Doesn't make me wronger and u righter.
Sometimes I laugh and I don't know why for
But I know I don't wanna cry no more.
Uh Oh. Gotta go. Somebody's knocking at my door.
And it's time that we all get along
'Cause I'm tired of singing this song!
We need to love each other our aidren
Hey Victa man
Give them love on your bass man
Give them love man
Listen to the man play the bass
He put love in the music man
Put more love in anything I and I do
Let us all sing together my brothers
la la la, la la la
la la la, la la la
la la la, la la la
Eveybody say
la la la, la la la
la la la, la la la
la la la, la la la
(I'm) workin' like a robot. I'm plugged into the groove.
Cuttin' through the static tracking' anything that moves.
And then I get a message a two-way radio.
I hear it in my headphones everywhere I go.
Big beat
talkin' to me.
(Chorus)
I got the hormones in the headphones streaming down into my backbone.
I got the hormones in the headphones gonna bring them back to you.
Receiving a signal. it's getting' through to me.
Sweet imagination. It's the thing that sets me free.
My name is vic i'm gonna do a lil trick

a jigga bug a jigga bug a jig jig jigga bug (repeat)
yeeeha
got my complection goin in my direction
what you call me?
I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, drinking her wine, biting my time,
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for
bed"
She told me she worked in the morning and started to
laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
Go girl go. U're free now. Free of the ties, the ties that bind.
Go girl go. Free at last to blast away the darker side into blinding white.
Go girl Go. U're free now. U're free now.
Cut straight on through my nature's child to the things that really matter.
Your song is u. Something to listen to.
Cut straight on through my nature's child,
To the things that really matter. (my nature's child)
This song is u. It's the call of the wild.
Above the noise, go girl go.
An inner voice will cheer u on. Go girl go.
And in your mind, when u step across that line,
So far ahead of the pack with the wind at your back,
Go girl go. U're free now. (Go!)
Keep running toward the sun. Go girl go.
Your race has just begun.
Go girl go. U're free now. Free of the ties, the ties that bind.
Go girl Go. Free at last.
Cut straight on through my nature's child to the things that really matter.
There's a riot going on
And there's hunger in our midst.
Some people can't go on.
Some people call it quits.
When freedom is not the word
You'll find on Earth there's hell.
And U know one man saved the world
And he's in your heart as well.
(Chorus) Everybody's waiting for the hero, when the hero is in everyone.
Everybody's waiting for the hero, when the hero is in everyone.
A man is sleeping on the street
Because he has no place to live.
A millionaire is eating meat.
How come we're not more sensitive?
And when abundance is for the few
That's where the hunger lies.
Responsibility rests on U.
So keep your head up to the sky.
Come on in and take a seat, hear what I have to tell.
About a pretty little lady, she's my girl.
All the men adore her and with me that is OK.
'Cause if u look u'll see she still with me at the end of each day.
(Chorus) Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.
Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.
Pretty little lady's gonna come see me at noon.
I've got to wake up early just to make sure I'm in tune.
All the men, they try to win just like it is a game.
"But let me tell u Rover the game is over. What's my name? VICTOR"
(Chorus)
She loves me. I know this.
She doesn't have to tell me so.
She thrills me with one kiss.
And when u see her u will know
(Chorus),
Bass solo,
Instrumental bridge,
Lyrics to The Loneliest Monk:
The loneliest Monk
Walks the street at night
The loneliest Monk
Play the wrong notes right
The loneliest Monk
The loneliest Monk
wasn't short wasn't tall
The loneliest Monk
wasn't lonely at all
The loneliest Monk
round and round at his place
The loneliest Monk
flawless living bitter taste
The loneliest Monk
Keeps his checks to himself
The loneliest Monk
tter memories in a shelf
The loneliest Monk
Used chopsticks to eat ice cream
saws the things that go unseen
knows exactly what i mean
The loneliest Monk
never renatured form his rent
The loneliest Monk
never cared that he was strange
The loneliest Monk
Made the most of what he got
The loneliest Monk
He chased the straight line not
The loneliest Monk
knew the rules but kept them bent
The loneliest Monk
he never tells but here's a hint
The loneliest Monk
spends on solid trampoline
brushes his teeth with gasoline
knows exactly what I mean
The loneliest Monk
he is the holder of the key
The loneliest Monk
he is a mentor to be
If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here I've got to be me
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now
I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay

![Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States. Adults are large and capable of delivering a painful and potentially fatal bite.[citation needed] This is the world's only semi-aquatic viper, usually found in or near water, particularly in slow-moving and shallow lakes and streams. The snake is a strong swimmer and will even enter the sea, successfully colonizing islands off both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The common names for the species include variants on water, swamp or black 'moccasin', 'viper', 'cottonmouth', and 'rattler'.[2] Many of the common names refer to the threat display, where this species will often stand its ground and gape at an intruder, exposing the white lining of its mouth. The diet consists mainly of fish and frogs, but is otherwise highly varied and, uniquely, has even been reported to include carrion. The specific name is derived from the Latin words piscis and voro, which mean "fish" and "to eat".[3] Three subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[4]](http://web.archive.org./web/20140702233105im_/http://cdn3.wn.com/ph/img/79/9f/04a8b026c803c72c76d158573e01-small.jpg "Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States.
