What We Do
Claudia/De La Soul/Slick Rick/Soulstice Lyrics

I remember when Mama spoke of the birds and
I recall the time when my mother told me about birds and their behavior

The east side kept me off the curb and
I stayed away from the roadside of the east side

Betsy Ross was sufferin from the scaredy cat
Betsy Ross was having trouble with fear

Till my man Ricky brought the remedy for that
Until Slick Rick found a solution for her

I massage your mane, coat
I caress and stimulate your hair and body

Then part your leg's rope
I spread your legs open

And stroke so hard you'll start to smell smoke
And make love so passionately that there's friction between our bodies, creating heat and a smell of smoke

Ain't gotta drug problem but a love problem
I don't have an addiction to drugs, but I have an addiction to love

But then again that may be one in the same
Both love and drugs can be addictive, so my addiction may be to both

I claim possession
I assert ownership over my partner

Pull the girl among the eighth like Charlie Heston
I pull my girl from a group, like Charlton Heston did in the movie 'The Ten Commandments'

Ride off on the horse and show no remorse
I ride away on a horse with no guilt or regret

She look niiice
She looks very attractive

Honey oriental, brown eyes
My girl has Asian heritage and brown eyes

Want friiiies?
Do you want some fries?

Chicken, vegetable, fried rice
These are the food options I offer my partner

And I'm tryin to [get] you to go
I'm trying to convince you to come with me

Fast subtraction, grab some
Quickly take off your clothes

"Oh don't stop nasty black man"
My partner is encouraging me to continue with sexual acts

Man that action had me coughin up cars, keys, and cash
That experience made me spend a lot of money

Just to sniff a fat rabbit I would give my very last
I would do anything to fulfill my sexual desires

You know them boys will come runnin
Men are always ready for sex

You know them girls don't mind comin
Women also have a desire for sex

Just to get it started, for startin something
They are willing to engage in sexual activity to initiate a relationship or fulfill a desire

Is what we do to get some lovin
This is our approach to get love and affection

This what we do for love (do for love)
This is our behavior to obtain love and affection

You ain't lyin, I
I agree with that statement

I 9-5 it, more like 12-12
I work long hours, sometimes from 9am to midnight

Can't get the thought off (sex)
I can't stop thinking about sex

From off my mental shelf
From my thoughts

I'm like Bruce Lee
I am skilled at sexual activity like Bruce Lee was skilled at martial arts

Beatin up the cootchie profusely
I am pleasuring my partner with enthusiasm

My tomboy chicks that act a little to butchy
I prefer masculine-looking women who still show some feminine qualities

receive this (uh)
Here, take this (as I give them something)

When my semen ceases
After I ejaculate

They'll be screamin out, "We love bein the female species"
My partner will express enjoyment for being a female during sexual activity

Hello?
Answering the phone

Veronica, it's Dove.
This is Dove, calling Veronica

Uh, I think you got the wrong number
I believe you called the wrong person

What?
I am confused

Veronica, your baby's crying.
Veronica, your child is crying

Yo, chill
Calm down

Baby?
I am surprised there is a baby involved in this conversation

Whatever yo, later.
Okay, see you later then

For the past two summers I been sizin up Veronica
I have been observing and evaluating Veronica for the past two summers

Southern belle, I heard she blow notes like a harmonica
She is a woman from the southern US who is known for performing oral sex

Yamacas couldn't satisfy her spendin fetishes
She has expensive taste and the popular Yamacas brand could not satisfy her desires

She was all about gettin the head like she was lettuces
She was mostly interested in performing oral sex

Yah, them types be actin like they ain't sleazy
Some women pretend to be innocent but are actually sexually promiscuous

Like this uptown chick playin opposite of easy
I know of a woman who acts contrary to her true sexual desires

Delighted, the honey fly difficult, couldn't knife it
I am very pleased with a particular attractive woman who is also hard to impress

Tiiight
She has a nice body

Seen the imprint on honey's private
I have seen the shape of her genitals through her clothing

Now she's love sick
She has fallen in love with me

Ruler Rick scoress agaaaaain
I, Ruler Rick, have successfully made a sexual conquest once more

Sex present itself like trophies I'm out to win
I view sexual activity as a competition to win

And it's easier to claim with the fame I've obtained
It is easier for me to find sexual partners due to my fame and reputation

Her mommy was a liar, she's so ashamed
Her mother lied to her, causing her to feel shameful

Well, I got this rude boy Jamaican honey at the rest home
I met a Jamaican woman at a retirement home

Complete with yellow hair and Cinderella dress on
She had blonde hair and was wearing a dress, like Cinderella

Whatever
I don't care

Been around, stuck her till she poppin bout
I have been involved with her sexually until she orgasmed

"Hey take your blood clot finger off me bottom"
She asked me to stop touching her behind

Anyway, another dime I met one time
Anyways, there was another woman I met once

I'm kiiind, chick in the world, butt fine
She is one of the kindest women I have met, and also has a great butt

And her, structure pumpin, told her
She has a well-built body and I told her

Gotcha mumblin bout
I made her stutter and mumble with pleasure

"Slow down, what you tryin to rupture somethin?"
"Slow down, what are you trying to do, cause injury?"

I don't bug out, I chill
I don't get overly excited, I remain calm

Never copped a feel
I have never grabbed someone's body inappropriately

But these pretty ass girls come and flaunt in the grill
Attractive women come to me to show off

Big ass eyes, with the matchin big ass thighs
She has big eyes and also big thighs that are proportionate to the rest of her body

Asked her if she spare a moment to exchange some lies
I asked her if she wanted to chat for a bit, even if we both knew we were lying

"But you got a girlfriend"
She pointed out that I already have a girlfriend

Yah trick, so do you
I replied that she also has a partner

And I heard there's no preference in what gender ya do
I heard that she doesn't have a preference for which gender she is intimate with

So stop playin so squeaky clean
So stop pretending to be innocent and pure

And let the dirty side see me later
And let's meet up later to do something scandalous

So we can play 'away from the navy'
So that we can be intimate without anyone finding out

So stuck on the love you rearranging behaviors
So obsessed with love that you are changing your ways and personality

Second episode, and you returnin oral favors
We are engaged in sexual activities again, particularly oral sex

Buyin up groceries
We are going shopping for food

Searchin for hosiery
We are looking for stockings

Holdin hands publicy
We are showing affection for each other in public

And now you supposed to be
And now you should be

Mr. and Mrs. huh, lovin and kisses huh?
In a committed relationship filled with love and affection

But while you away is when the milkman'll visit her
But when you are not around, other men will come over to see her

Dear to the heart, we dearly depart the fallen
We care about each other but have to part ways

So skip the games ma, I stay tuned to the calling
Let's not play games, I am ready for a meaningful relationship

You know them boys will come runnin
Men are always ready for sex

You know them girls don't mind comin
Women also have a desire for sex

Just to get it started, for startin something
They are willing to engage in sexual activity to initiate a relationship or fulfill a desire

Is what we do to get some lovin
This is our approach to get love and affection

This what we do for love (do for love)
This is our behavior to obtain love and affection

This what we do for love (for love)
This is our behavior to obtain love and affection

This what we do for love
This is our behavior to obtain love and affection
