Army with harmony

Dave drop a load on 'em

OPP, 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 scratch your temple

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

It's sorta like ah..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 the explainin'

Bust it

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

You 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, an 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 relationships there's just room to hit it

How many brothers out there know just what I'm gettin' at

Who thinks it's wrong 'cos I was splittin' and co-hittin' at

Well if you do, that's OPP and you're not down with it

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

Chorus

You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X

Who's down with OPP (Every last homie)

You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X

Who's down with OPP (All the homies)

As for the ladies, OPP 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...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 ah girl or wife

And you just had to stop and just 'cos 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 and honestly you didn't care

'Cos 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 do'

Now don't be shocked 'cos if you're down I want your hands up high

Say OPP (OPP) 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

Chorus

You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X

Who's down with OPP (Every last lady)

You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X

Who's down with OPP (All the ladies)

This gal tried to OPP me

I had a girl and she knew that matter-of-fact hell 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

'Cos 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

'Cos 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 runnin' 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

Chorus

You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X

Who's down with OPP (This whole party)

You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X

Who's down with OPP (This whole party)

Break it down
