On One
Digital Underground Lyrics

Aw, yeah
The singer begins the song with an affirmation

'Round and 'round, 'round they go
The singer emphasizes the cyclical nature of things

I get around
The singer boasts about his sex life

Still clown with the Underground, when we come around (I get around)
The artist remains loyal to his crew, Digital Underground

Stronger than ever (I get around)
The artist proclaims his confidence and strength

Back to get wreck
The singer plans to make an impact

All respect to those who break their neck to keep their hoes in check
The singer acknowledges the struggle of men who try to control their girlfriends

'Cause, oh, they sweat a brother majorly
The artist is bothered by how much some men obsess over women

And I don't know why, your girl keeps paging me (what she say?)
The artist is confused about why women keep calling him

She tell me that she needs me, cries when she leaves me
The artist is aware that women are emotionally attached to him

And every time she sees me, she squeeze me, lady, take it easy
The singer tells women to calm down and not get too clingy

Hate to sound sleazy, but tease me, I don't want it if it's that easy
The artist wants women to play hard to get, not give in too easily

Ayo, bust it, baby, got a problem saying, "Bye-bye" (I get around)
The singer encounters women who don't want to leave him alone

Just another hazard of a fly guy (word)
The singer acknowledges that being attractive comes with its own set of problems

You ask why, don't matter, my pockets got fatter
The singer implies that his monetary gain has made him more appealing to women

Now everybody's looking for the latter (I get around)
The artist is now in high demand because of his money and popularity

And ain't no need in being greedy
The artist suggests that people shouldn't be selfish

If you wanna see me, dial the beeper number (I get around)
The singer provides a way for women to contact him

Baby, when you need me
The singer tells women to call him when they want him

And I'll be there in a jiffy
The artist will come to women's aid immediately

Don't be picky, just be happy with this quickie (I get around)
The artist advises women not to be too particular, and to enjoy sex with him

But when you learn you can't tie me down
The artist doesn't want to be tied down in a relationship

Baby doll, check it out, I gets around
The singer boasts about his sexual promiscuity

What you mean you don't know? I get around ('round and 'round, 'round we go)
The artist reiterates his sexual prowess

The Underground just don't stop for hoes, I get around (I get around)
The singer valorizes his crew, who also embrace sexual promiscuity

Yeah, ayo, Shock, let them hoes know
The singer instructs Shock G to tell women that he's not exclusive to them

Now you can tell from my everyday fits, I ain't rich
The singer reveals that he's not wealthy

So cease and desist with them tricks (tricks)
The artist asks women to stop playing games

I'm just another black man caught up in the mix (mix)
The artist identifies with other black men in his community

Trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents (a dime and a nickel)
The singer is trying to earn a living with minimal resources

Just 'cause I'm a freak don't mean that we could hit the sheets
The singer warns women not to assume that he'll have sex with them just because he's sexually open

Baby, I can see, that you don't recognize me (I get around)
The artist tells women that he's more famous than they think

I'm Shock G, the one who put the satin on your panties (I get around)
The artist identifies himself as the creator of the R&B song that women may have danced to

Never knew a hooker that could share me, I get around
The artist is proud of his sexual conquests

What's up love? How you doing? (All right)
The singer greets a woman

Well I've been hanging singing, trying to do my thing
The artist has been making music and performing

Oh, you heard that I was banging?
The singer's reputation precedes him

Your home girl you went to school with, that's cool
The singer acknowledges that he's hooked up with women that the current woman knows

But did she tell you 'bout her sister and your cousin? Thought I wasn't (uh)
The singer reveals that he's had sex with the current woman's family member

See, weekends was made for Michelob
The artist describes his drinking habits

But it's a Monday, my day, so just let me hit it, yo (I get around)
The artist wants to have sex with the current woman

And don't mistake my statement for a clown
The singer doesn't want to be seen as a joke

We can keep in the down low long as you know, that I get around
The singer wants to keep their sexual escapades a secret

('Round and 'round, 'round we go)
The artist ends the song with a repetition of the refrain
