Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather, which is more durable and less susceptible to decomposition. Traditionally, tanning used tannin, an acidic chemical compound from which the tanning process draws its name (tannin is in turn named after an old German word for oak or fir trees, from which the compound was derived). Coloring may occur during tanning. A tannery is the term for a place where the skins are processed.
Tanning hide into leather involves a process which permanently alters the protein structure of skin. Making "rawhide" (untanned but worked hide) does not require the use of tannin. Rawhide is made by removing the flesh and fat and then the hair by use of an aqueous solution (this process is often called "liming" when using lime and water or "bucking" when using wood ash (lye) and water), then scraping over a beam with a somewhat dull knife, then drying. The two aforementioned solutions for removing the hair also act to clean the fiber network of the skin and allow penetration and action of the tanning agent, so that all the steps in preparation of rawhide except drying are often preludes to the more complex process of tanning and production of leather.
"Refrain:
You can feel my heart
You can be my love
I will be there ...
Whenever you just walk on by
FATIMA - yo, that's my name so check it out
I got shonuffa skills 'n I know what I'm talking 'bout
You might think that I'm too young but yo I got it goin on
And coz I'm young my rhymes they kickin fresh and strong
I saw you once or twice on my way home back from school
You's lookin fly, so I said "hi", but you was actin cool
I thought okay no way to stay and that's alright alright
I passed away - another chance, another day or night
So little do you know about the funkyness inside me
So come a little closer boy and don't you try da fight me
Honesty's a must but you and me can let it go
I touch your mind - I free your soul - commom now feel the flow
Refrain (2x)
Okeydokey - I'm collin with my best friend
I try to explain her, she says: Girl you better understand
This guy is just no good for you, he gamin on you sister
I know but hey what can I do - I like da funky mister
Saturday night and I'm feelin kinda lonely
Everyone's with someone - and me? I am the only
Not to have a cuty, na, do you think that's fair?
These guys just wanna booty - but I don't even care
There he is, my shining star, he's with a bunch of brothers
Smilin at me, comin to me, boy you're like no other
"Hi, my name's Vandell, I liked the way you smiled at me
I know this does sound kinda fast, but I do look for company"
Boy oh boy, didn't you recognize me yesterday?
My heart goes boum boum, no I can't let him get away
Stay baby stay until the break of day
I'll show you love. I'll bring you joy but anyway
