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 jumpin' shall we singin' it
O is for other, P is for people scratchin' 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 occassion at the other party
As a game 'n, it seems I gotta start to 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 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 O.P.P, 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 gettin' at
Who thinks it's wrong 'cause I'm splittin' and co-hittin' at
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)
You down with O.P.P
(Yeah you know me)
Who's down with O.P.P
(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 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 have another like ah girl or wife
And you just had to stop and just cause he look just as 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 finish, 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 shocked '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

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 girl ah tried to O.P.P me
I had a girl and she knew that matter of fact
My girl was partner's 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 to the stairs and to the stairwindow
This was a thing, a little thing, you shouldn't have put 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 is you with
Him or her, for sure is 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
