Song Lyrics

O.P.P., how can I explain it
I'll take it frame by frame it
To have y'all jumping, shouting, saying it
O is for Other, P is for Peoples', scratch your temple
The last P, well that's not that simple
It's sort of like well another way to call a cat a kitten
It's five little letters that are missing, yeah
You get on occasion if the other party isn't gaming
It seems I gotta start to explaining
Bust it

You ever had a girl and met her on a nice hello
You get her name and number and then you 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 or her cousin's house
It's not a front, F to the R to the O to the N to the T
It's just her boyfriend's at her house (Boy, that's what is scary)
It's OPP, time other people's what you get it
There's no room for relationship there's just room to hit it
How many brothers out there know just what I'm getting at
Who thinks it's wrong cause I'm splitting and cold-hitting 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.? (Every last homie)
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 homies)

As for the ladies, O.P.P. means something different
The first letter's 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 and meanest
I won't get into that, I'll do it, ah sorta properly
I'll say the last P, hmmm 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 have another like a girl or wife
And you just had to stop and just 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 and honestly you didn't care
'Cause in a room behind a door no one but y'all are there
When y'all are finish, y'all can leave and only y'all would know
And then y'all could throw that skeleton bone right in the closet do'
Now don't be shocked 'cos if you're down I want your hands up high
Say O.P.P. (O.P.P.) 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 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)

This gal tried to O.P.P. me
I had a girl and she knew that matter-of-fact 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 have 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 to the stairs and to the stair window
This was a thing, a little thing, you shouldn't have put 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 running 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 is you with
Him or her for sure is going to admit it
When OPP 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.? (Yeah you know me)
Who's down with O.P.P.? (This whole party)
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.? (This whole party)
