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' dat?

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 cleanness and meanness I won't get into that, I'll do it...uh...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 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 that 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 it, 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)
