O.P.P

Arm me with harmony

Dave, drop a load on 'em

Mmm, O.P.P., how can I explain it?

I'll take it, frame by frame it

To have y'all all jumpin', shoutin', and sayin' it

O is for other, P is for people's, scratch your temple

The last P, well, that's not that simple, huh

It's sort of like a, well another way to call a cat a kitten

There's five little letters that are missin' here

You get it on occasion if the other party isn't gamin'

It seems I gotta start the explainin', bust it

You ever had a girl and met her on a nice hello

Then get her name and number, then left feelin' 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, a 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 O.P.P., time other people's what 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 gettin' at?

Who think it's wrong 'cause I was splittin' and co-hittin' that?

Well, if you do, that's O.P.P. and you're not down with it

But if you don't, here's your membership

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

Who's down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

Who's down with O.P.P.?

All the homies

Well, for the ladies, O.P.P. means somethin' gifted

The first two letter's the same

But the last is somethin' different

It's the longest, loveliest, lean, I call it the leanest

It's another five-letter word

Rhymin' with cleanness or meanness

I won't get into that, I'll do it, uh, sorta 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 do'

Now don't be shocked

'Cause if you're down I want your hands up high

Say O.P.P. I like to say with pride (O.P.P.)

Now when you do it, do it well

And make sure that it counts

You're now down with a discount

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

Who's down with O.P.P.?

Every last lady

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

Who's down with O.P.P.?

All the ladies

A scat tried to O.P.P. me

I had a girl and she knew that

Matter of 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 a thing

It must've been the way she hit the ceiling

'Cause after that she kept on comin' back and catchin' feelings

I said, "Let's go, my girl is comin', 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 chooses stairs or chooses the window

This was a fling, a little thing

You shouldn't have brought your heart

'Cause you know I was O.P.P., 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 O.P.P. establishment

You keep yo' mouth shut and it won't get back to her or him

Excitin', isn't it, a special kinda business

Many of you will catch the same sorta O.P.P. messin' with

Him or her, for sure ain't goin' to admit it

When O.P.P. comes, damn skippy, I'm with it

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?

Yeah, you know me

You down with O.P.P.?
