De La Soul - What We Do (For Love) lyrics

[Slick Rick talking with "kids"] [Kid 1] I'm tired [Kid 2] Me too [Kid 1] Uncle Ricky [SR] Hmmm? [Kid 1] Could you tell us a bedtime story, like you used to? [SR] Look, don't y'all think y'all too old for that now? [Kids] No [SR] Listen, I got an adult question for y'all since y'all like...11 now. Y'all ever get horny? [Kid 1] Uncle Ricky! [SR] Now I don't mean to sound perverted, but do you ever have like s**ual urges? Kids - No! [SR] No? Well you will, so sit your behind down and listen to Uncle Ricky...and De La...tell y'all a grown up story [Kids] Okay [Dove] I remember when Mama spoke of the birds and The east side kept me off the curb and Betsy Ross was sufferin from the scaredy cat Till my man Ricky brought the remedy for that [Slick Rick] I ma**age your mane, coat Then part your leg's rope And stroke so hard you'll start to smell smoke [Posdnuos] Ain't gotta drug problem but a love problem But then again that may be one in the same I claim possession Pull the girl among the eighth like Charlie Heston Ride off on the horse and show no remorse [Slick Rick] She look niiice Honey oriental, brown eyes Want friiiies? Chicken, vegetable, fried rice And I'm tryin to (get) you to go Fast subtraction, grab some "Oh don't stop nasty black man" [Dove] Man that action had me coughin up cars, keys, and cash Just to sniff a fat rabbit I would give my very last [Chorus (Slick Rick)] (When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin (When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin (When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin (When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin Just to get it started, for startin something Is what we do to get some lovin What we do to get some lovin This what we do for love (do for love) This what we do for love (for love) This what we do for love [Dove] You ain't lyin, I I 9-5 it, more like 12-12 Can't get the thought off (s**) From off my mental shelf [Slick Rick] I'm like Bruce Lee Beatin up the cootchie profusely My tomboy chicks that act a little to butchy Recieve this (uh) When my semen ceases They'll be screamin out, "We love bein the female species" [Phone dialing] Hello? Veronica, it's Dove. Uh, I think you got the wrong number What? Veronica, your baby's crying. Yo, chill Baby? Whatever yo, later. [Dove] For the past two summers I been sizin up Veronica Southern belle, I heard she blow notes like a harmonica Yamacas couldn't satisfy her spendin fetishes She was all about gettin the head like she was lettuces [Posdnuos] Yah, them types be actin like they ain't sleazy [Slick Rick] Like this uptown chick playin opposite of easy Delighted, the honey fly difficult, couldn't knife it Tiiight Seen the imprint on honey's private Now she's love sick Ruler Rick scoress agaaaaain [Posdnuos] Sex present itself like trophies I'm out to win And it's easier to claim with the fame I've obtained Her mommy was a liar, she's so ashamed [Chorus] [Slick Rick] Well, I got this rude boy Jamaican honey at the rest home Complete with yellow hair and Cinderella dress on Whatever Been around, stuck her till she poppin bout "Hey take your blood clot finger off me bottom" Anyway, another dime I met one time I'm kiiind, chick in the world, bu*t fine And her, structure pumpin, told her Gotcha mumblin bout "Slow down, what you tryin to rupture somethin?" [Posdnuos] I don't bug out, I chill Never copped a feel But these pretty a** girls come and flaunt in the grill Big a** eyes, with the matchin big a** thighs Asked her if she spare a moment to exchange some lies "But you got a girlfriend" [Slick Rick] Yah trick, so do you And I heard there's no preference in what gender ya do [Posdnuos] So stop playin so squeaky clean And let the dirty side see me later So we can play 'away from the navy' [Dove] So stuck on the love you rearranging behaviors Second episode, and you returnin oral favors Buyin up groceries Searchin for hosiery Holdin hands publicy And now you supposed to be Mr. and Mrs. huh, lovin and kisses huh? But while you away is when the milkman'll visit her Dear to the heart, we dearly depart the fallen So skip the games ma, I stay tuned to the calling [Chorus x3]
