What's Up
Donell Jones feat. Left Eye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up
Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up

Me and my niggas be rollin'
Schemin' on you and your homies
The very first day of summer
All chromed out in a Hummer, babe
Hit the park and parlay
Hopin' that you walk this way
Do you and your girls wanna ride
Play all day and puff on the la

Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up
Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up

I'm diggin' you and I'm feelin' you
U know what's up
Said I'm diggin' you and I'm wantin' you
So tell me what's up

Peep her thighs and I'm zonin'
Right around two in the mornin'
Lookin' fly with a sundress on
Think I feel a bone comin on
Girl you got it wide open
Want all day and in hopin'
Baby don't front
Back seat Jeep, you know what I want

Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up
Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up

I'm diggin' you and I'm feelin' you
U know what's up
Said I'm diggin' you and I'm wantin' you
So tell me what's up

So baby tell me what's up
Can we ascend to higher heights
And when the path gets rough
We can give in to brighter nights
Breathe with peace, expand by leaps
Sow to reap our souls to keep
The passions deep and filled with heat
Living this life on the hustle
I barely get enough time
U know me for the Platinum
How I stack them and shine
U see a lot of contenders
They try to end up in my world
A reputation known as the untouchable girl
I'm movin' on and now I'm tryin'
To make a change in my ways
Be the best that I can be
To last me all of my days
Now we can blaze pathways
Or just take our time
Better hollar if you hear me
'Cause Left-Eye gonna shine
My eyes don't lie see how
They glisten when you pass me by
U and I don't need permission to be unified
Surely I done seen and heard of many places
Then I traveled around the world, seen many faces
Don't let another one get near me if you wanna be true
And show me that nobody else can do it better than you
So if you serious, I'm curious to see what you got
My love is furious, 'cause I believe in blowin' youp spots

Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up
Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl you know what's up

I'm diggin' you and I'm feelin' you
U know what's up




Said I'm diggin' you and I'm wantin' you
So tell me what's up

Me and my niggas be rollin'
My friends and I are hanging out

The very first day of summer
It's summertime


All chromed out in a Hummer babe
We're driving around in a flashy Hummer


Hit the park and parlay
We're hanging out at the park

Do you feel the same way?


Peep her thighs and I'm zoning
I'm checking out her legs and I'm in a trance


Right around two in the morning
It's really late at night


Looking fly with the sun dress on
She looks really good in her dress


I think I feel a bone coming on
I'm getting aroused


Girl you got me wide open
I'm really into you


Waitin' all day and I'm hoping
I've been waiting all day to see you


So baby don't front
Don't play hard to get


Backseat Jeep, you know what I want
Let's go in the backseat of the car and have sex
