Doo Wop (That Thing)

Yo, remember back on the bouley when cats used to harmonize like (Ooh, woo, woo-woo, woo)

Yo, yo, my men and my women

Don't forget about the deen, the sirat al-mustaqim (Woo, woo-woo, woo)

Yo, it's about a thing (Eh-heh, woo, woo-woo, woo)

If ya feel real good wave your hands in the air

And lift two shots in the atmosphere (Yeah, yeah)

Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

A yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

It's been three weeks since you were looking for your friend

The one you let hit it and never called you again

'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins?

You act like you ain't hear him, then give him a little trim

To begin, how you think you're really gon' pretend? ('Tend)

Like you wasn't down and you called him again

Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even fooling him

If you did it then, then you'd probably **** again

Talking out your neck, saying you're a Christian

A Muslim, sleeping with the jinn

Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in

Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin?

Showing off your ass 'cause you thinking it's a trend

Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again

You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine

Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem

Baby girl, respect is just a minimum (Minimum)

**** **** and you still defending 'em (Defending 'em)

Now, Lauryn is only human (Human)

Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament (Haven't been)

Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn (Philly, Penn)

It's silly when girls sell their souls because it's in ('Cause it's in)

Look at where you be in, hair weaves like Europeans (Europeans)

Fake nails done by Koreans

Come again (Yo)

Win, win, come again (Yeah, yeah)

Bredrin, come again (Yeah, yeah)

My friend, come again (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah (Yo, yo)

Guys you know you'd better watch out, uh (You know you'd better)

Some girls, some girls are only about (Some girls, some girls are only)

That thing, that thing, that thing (That thing, that thing, that thing)

That thing, that thing, that thing (That, want that thing, one thing, yo, yo)

The second verse is dedicated to the men

More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women

Him and his men come in the club like hooligans

Don't care who they offend, popping yang (Like you got yen)

Let's stop pretend, the ones that pack pistols by they waist men

Cristal by the case men, still in they mother's basement (Still in they mother's basement)

The pretty face men claiming that they be the big men

Need to take care of they three or four kids (Three or four kids)

And they face a court case when the child support's late (And they face a court case when the child support's late)

Money taking and heartbreaking, now you wonder why women hate men

The sleepy, silent men, the punk, domestic violence men (Why? Why?)

Quick to shoot the semen, stop acting like boys and be men (Be men)

How you gon' win when you ain't right within (How you gonna win)

How you gon' win when you ain't right within

How you gon' win when you ain't right within (Bredrin, great men)

Uh-uh, come again (Uh-uh)

Yo, yo, come again (Yeah, yeah)

Bredrin, come again (Yeah, yeah)

And sistren, come again (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah

Watch out, watch out, look out, look out (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)

Watch out, watch out, look out, look out (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)

Watch out, watch out, look out, look out (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)

Watch out, watch out, look out, look out (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)

Girls, you know you'd better watch out (Watch out)

Some guys, some guys are only about (About)

That thing, that thing, that thing (Thing)

That thing, that thing, that thing (Thing)

Guys you know you'd better watch out (Watch out)

'Cause girls, some girls are only about (About)

That thing, that thing, that thing (Thing)

That thing, that thing, that thing (Thing)

Girls, you know you'd better watch out (Some guys, some guys are only not ready, yo)

Some guys, some guys are only about (Some girls, some girls are only, uh, we taking it back, yo)

That thing, that thing, that thing (Huh-huh, we went back, yo, thing-ing, uh, yo, yo, yo)

Aye, we got some very intelligent women in here, man

Do you think you're too young to really love somebody?

No, no, no

I say it from being a f-, I'm an adult I say wait you're too young to be in love, this is silly

You infatuated with him, he got nice jeans

He wears fancy Adidas, I mean

It might be something I don't know, but

It's a difference from loving somebody and being in love with somebody

Well you tell me, what's the difference? What's the difference?

You, you can love anybody, but when you in love with somebody

You looking at it like this

You taking that person for what he or she is no matter what he or she look like

No, no matter what he or she do

If you fall in love you can fall out of love

You might stop being in love with them, but you is not gonna stop loving that person

Maybe sometimes they've never been loved before (Yeah, true)

Or they never been in love before

Or they don't know, they don't know what the feeling is to be loved

Yeah, she poetic

She killed it, we can end that conversation with that, right?
