O.P.P. Lyrics By Naughty By Nature

    treach
    arm me with harmony
    dave drop a load on ’em

    treach
    opp how can i explain it i’ll take it frame by frame it
    to have y’all all jumping shouting saying it
    o is for other p is for people’s 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 here
    you get on occasion if the other party isn’t gaminguh
    it seems i gotta start the explaining bust it
    you ever had a girl and met her on a nice hello
    you get her name and number and then left feeling real mellow
    you get home wait a day she’s what you wanna know about
    then you call up and its her girlfriends or her cousins house
    its not a front a f to the r to the o to the n to the t
    it’s just her boyfriend’s at her house oh thats why shes 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 a
    who think it’s wrong ’cause i was splitting and cohitting that
    well if you do that’s opp and you’re not down with it
    but if you don’t here’s your membership

    hook
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    whos down with opp every last homie
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    whos down with opp all the homies

    treach
    well for the ladies opp means something gifted
    the first two letters’ the same but the last is something different
    it’s the longest loveliest lean i call it the leanest
    it’s another fiveletter word rhyming with cleanness or meanness
    i won’t get into that i’ll do it ah sort of 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 had another like a girl or wife
    and you just had to stop a toast ’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 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 then y’all could throw that skeleton bone right in the closet do’
    now don’t be shy
    ’cause 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

    hook
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    whos down with opp every last lady
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    whos down with opp all the ladies

    treach
    a scab tried to opp me i had a girl and she knew that
    matter of fact her and my girl was partners that
    had a fallout 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’ve 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 got 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 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 messing with
    him or her for sure ain’t going to admit it
    when opp comes damn skippy i’m with it

    hook
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    whos down with opp this whole party
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    you down with opp yeah you know me
    whos down with opp this whole party

    treach
