LAURYN HILL – DOO WOP (THAT THING)

Lyrics

''Yo, remember back on the bully when cats used to harmonized like
"Wooo... wooo... wooo..."
Yo, yo, my men and my women, don't forget about the ding
This is not the muster king
It's about a thing
Yo, yo, yo, if you feel real good, lift your hands up in the air
And lick two shots in the atmosphere''
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been three weeks since you were looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was about the benjamins?
You act like you and him
Then give him a little trim
To begin
How you think you really goin' to pretend
Like you wasn't down and you called him again?
Plus when
You give it up so easy you ain't even foolin' him
If you did it then, then you'd probably do it again
Talking out your neck, saying you're a Christian
A Muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin
That did Jezebel in
Who're you going to tell
When the repercussions spin?
Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend
Let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock, when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just a minimum
Nigga's fucked up and you still defending him
Now, Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn
It's silly when girls sell their souls because of sin
Look at what you be in
Hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
Come again
Yo! A-When when come again! (Yeah-Yeah!)
When when come again!! (Yeah-Yeah!)
My friend come again!!! (Yeah-Yeah!)
Guys you know you'd better, watch out (Watch out!)
Some girls, some girls are only, about (About!)
That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)
That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)
The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Tim's than his women
Him and his men, come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend
Popping yin (Like you got Yen)
Let's stop pretend, the ones that pack pistols by the waist men
Cristall by the case men, still living in his Mother's basement
The pretty face men claiming that they be the "big men."
Need to take care of their three and four kids
But they face a court case when the child support's late
Money taking and heart breaking
Now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky silent men
The punk domestic violence men
Quick to shoot the semen, stop acting like boys and be men!
How you gonna win, when you ain't right within?!
How you gonna win, when you ain't right within?!
How you gonna win, when you ain't right within?!
Unh-Unhh Come Again!
Yo-Yo Come Again!
bredrin come again!
Sit straight come again!
Watch out, watch out
Look out, look out
Watch out, watch out
Look out, look out
Watch out, watch out
Look out, look out
Watch out, watch out
Look out, look out
Girls you know you'd better, watch out (Watch out!)
Some guys, some guys are only about (About!)
That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)
That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)
Guys you know you'd better, watch out (Watch out!)
Some girls, some girls are only, about (About!)
That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)
That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)

Paroles (Traduction)

''Yo, souviens-toi de l'époque du bully quand les gars harmonisaient comme
"Wooo... wooo... wooo..."
Yo, yo, mes hommes et mes femmes, n'oubliez pas le ding
Ce n'est pas le roi du mouton
C'est à propos d'une chose
Yo, yo, yo, si tu te sens vraiment bien, lève tes mains en l'air
Et tire deux coups en l'air''
Ouais, ouais
Ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
Ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
Ça fait trois semaines que tu cherches ton ami
Celui que tu as laissé te toucher et qui ne t'a jamais rappelé
Tu te souviens quand il t'a dit que c'était pour les billets ?
Tu agis comme si vous étiez ensemble
Puis tu lui fais une petite coupe
Pour commencer
Comment penses-tu vraiment pouvoir faire semblant
Comme si tu n'étais pas intéressée et que tu l'as rappelé ?
De plus, quand
Tu te donnes si facilement, tu ne le trompes même pas
Si tu l'as fait alors, tu le ferais probablement à nouveau
Parler sans réfléchir, dire que tu es chrétienne
Une musulmane qui dort avec le gin
Maintenant, c'était le péché
Qui a perdu Jézabel
À qui vas-tu le dire
Quand les conséquences tournent ?
Montrer ton cul parce que tu penses que c'est une tendance
Copine
Laisse-moi te l'expliquer à nouveau
Tu sais que je ne dis ça que parce que je suis vraiment sincère
Ne sois pas une dure, quand tu es vraiment une gemme
Ma belle, le respect est juste un minimum
Les mecs sont nuls et tu continues à le défendre
Maintenant, Lauryn n'est qu'une humaine
Ne pense pas que je n'ai pas vécu la même situation
Laisse-le reposer dans ta tête comme un million de femmes à Philadelphie, Pennsylvanie
C'est idiot quand les filles vendent leur âme à cause du péché
