Dave, drop a load on 'em
O.P.P., how can I explain it?
I'll take you 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, uh
It's sorta like well, another way to call a cat a kitten
It's five little letters that are missin' here
You get it on occasion if the other party isn't gaming
It seems I gotta start the explainin'
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's 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
(Oh, that's why she's scary)
It's O.P.P. time, other people's, but 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 gettin' at?
Who thinks it's wrong 'cause I'm 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.?
(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.?
(Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about)
(All the homies)
For the ladies, O.P.P means something gifted
The first two letters are 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 rhymin' with cleanest and meanest
I won't get into that, I'll do it, ah, 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 look 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 the skeleton bone right in the closet door
Now don't be shy 'cause 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.?
(Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about)
(All the ladies)
A scab 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 the thing, it must have been the way she hit the ceiling
'Cause after that she kept on coming back and catchin' 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 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 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 O.P.P. messing with
Him or her, for sure, I'm going 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.?
(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.?
(Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about)
(This whole party)
Break it down
