Naughty By Nature - O.P.P. lyrics

Arm me with harmony
Dave, drop a load on 'em

OPP, how can I explain it? I'll take it
Frame by frame it
To have y'all all jumpin', shoutin'
Sayin' it o is for "other" P is
For "people" scratch your temple
The last P, well, that's not that simple
Huh it's sort of like, oh well
Another way to call a cat a kitten
It's five little letters that
Are missing here you get it on occasion if
The other party isn't gaming
It seems I gotta start the explaining
Bust it you ever had a girl and met
Her on a nice hello?
You get her name and number
Then left feeling real mellow
You get home, wait a day
She's what you wanna know about


Then you call up and it's her
Girlfriend's or her cousin's house?
It's not a front
An F to the R to the O to the N to the T
It's just her boyfriend's at her house
(Oh, that's why she's scary)
It's OPP time, other people's
But you get it
There's no room for relationships
There's just room to hit it
How many brothers out there know
Just what I'm getting at?
Who think it's wrong 'cause I
Was splitting and co-hitting that?
Well, if you do, that's OPP
And you're not down with it
But if you don't, here's your membership

You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with OPP? (Every last homie)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with OPP? (All the homies)

Well, for the ladies
OPP means something gifted
The first two letters the same
But the last is something different
It's the longest, loveliest, lean
I call it the leanest
It's another five letter word rhyming
With "cleanest" or "meanest"
I won't get into that, I'll do it, uh
Sort of properly i'll say the last P, hmm
Stands for "property"
Now lady, here comes a kiss
Blow a kiss back to me, now tell me exactly
Have you ever known a brother who had
Another like a girl or wife?
And you just had to stop a toast
'cause he looked just that nice?
You looked at him, he looked at you
And you knew right away he had someone
But he was gonna be yours anyway
You couldn't be seen with him at
All and still you didn't care
'Cause in a room behind a door
No one but y'all are there
When y'all are finished
Y'all can leave and only y'all would know
And y'all could throw that skeleton bone
Right in the closet door
Now don't be shy, 'cause if you're down
I want your hands up high
Say OPP (OPP) , I like to say with pride
Now when you do it
Do it well and make sure that it counts
You're now down with a discount

You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with OPP? (Every last lady)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with OPP? (All the ladies)

A scab tried to OPP me
I had a girl and she knew that matter fact
Her and my girl was partners that
Had a fall-out, disagreement, yeah
An argument she tried to do me, so we
Did it in my apartment, bust it
That wasn't the thing
It must've been the way she hit the ceiling
'Cause after that she kept on
Coming back and catching feelings
I said, "Let's go, my girl is coming
So you gotta leave"
She said, "Oh no, I love you
Treach" I said, "Now, child, please
You gots to leave, come grab
Your coat right now, you gotta go"
I said, "Now look, you choose the stairs or
Choose the stair window this was a fling
A little thing you shouldn't
Have brought your heart
'Cause you know I was OPP, hell
From the very start" come on, come on
Now let me tell you what it's all about
When you get down
You can't go 'round runnin'
Off at the mouth that's rule number one in
This OPP establishment
You keep your mouth shut and it won't
Get back to her or him
Exciting, isn't it? A special kinda business
Many of you will catch the
Same sorta OPP messing with
Him or her, for sure, I'm going to admit it
When OPP comes, damn skippy, I'm with it

You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with OPP? (This whole party)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
You down with OPP? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with OPP? (This whole party)

Break it down
