[Bootsy Collins, Snoop Dogg, Rosie Gaines, Till Brönner - Don't Let 'Em lyrics]
You got to do it
You got to do it, ah yeah, baby
Tell 'em what we talkin' 'bout, Snoop
Pullin' and grabbin' you
Rattlesnakin' and stabbin' you
Things you wouldn't imagine
Simply because you like havin' people
Talkin' about you but you
Can't pay no attention
They say, that's how it is
Even when you be livin' presidential
They always funkin' with you
Especially when you go official
Take it from me, a GC
'Cause people are so fictitial
Sticks and stones do break bones
And talk make the weak fall off
While the strong keep keepin' on
I take two steps forward
They try to knock me four steps back
Whenever I see color
They only see white or black
Whenever I speak my mind
They put words in my mouth
Do they really think that I'm lyin'
When I know what they're all about?
Don't let them put you down
No, don't let 'em
Don't let them put you down don't let 'em
Don't let them put you down
Don't let them put you down don't let 'em
When I'm in my sunshine
They bring their rain to fall
I'm lookin' at this picture
But they can't see it at all
I'm steppin' on the gas
And I wanna move ahead
They said I'll never make it
But that's what they always said
Don't let them put you down don't let 'em
Don't let them put you down don't let 'em
Don't let them put you down don't let 'em
Put ya foot on the gas, step on fast, oh
You say "In God We Trust"
While you promote hate, fear and lust
And love, joy and pain
Is in a constant struggle for superior gain
Don't let them put you down
Don't just stand there
Don't let them put you down
Sound so funky to me, yeah
Don't let them put you down
Oh, don't let 'em
Don't let them put you down
Don't let 'em put you down
Down don't let 'em
Oh yeah, just another dog day afternoon, baby
Have you ever been on a trip
And found out that you was from another time
Baby where unconditional love takes root
And our intelligence is
Absolutely color-blind, baby
(Don't you let 'em, don't let 'em)
Twinkle, twinkle little star
You got your hands up in my cookie jar
(Don't let'em)
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Don't talk about it, be 'bout it
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Don't talk about it, be 'bout it
(Don't let them put you down)
Tell 'em what we talkin' bout, Snoop
See, I was once told that
To be talked about was one of
The greatest forms of flattery
And I'm flattered that you're
Talkin' about me (yeah)
For you to talk about me
Is something fun to do, baby
Yeah you keep doin' what you do
'Cause I'm definitely gon' keep
Doin' what I do
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
I'm not gon' talk about it
I'm gon' be about it can you dig it? (yeah)
I don't know nothin' but to do it
(Do it, baby) nothin' to it but to do it
And I'ma do it with the Do-It-Fluid, baby
Can you dig it? (I can dig it)
It's dug (Uh, we outta here, baby)
The People's Choice there you have it
The most valuable players, baby
(Don't let 'em)
Finger funkin', just finger funkin', baby
(Don't let 'em)
Uh, let the fingers do the funkin'
(Don't let 'em, We out, baby)
