Brown sugar
Extra Prolific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but soon and very soon enough of that I would get
I woke up in the mornin' thinkin' of bonin'
condonin'
hook up on the phone in no time I'm gronin'
with excitement frightened by the enlightment
I can knock with these
but i'm not supposed to be caught with these
were they mine
word to Socrates
feelin' guilt I admit it,I did it
a'int gonna take what can't be taken back, I'm with it
[Chrous:] "brown sugar, brown sugar..."
I should have never picked up my ringer
but wiping spilled sugar, you're bound to lick your fingers
so I ride in my Chevelle and tell tales to me
since this was the d-l my niggas failed to dwell and hint I meant
I tried and strived and even lied to give
but y'all don't know what the bomb she is
[CHORUS]
One on one I'm reminiscin' the kissin'
spliff and drink I think nothin' was missin'
a little party, me and this hotty
smooth as Bacardi ooh and that body
had a nigga trippin' badder than the slippin' or fallin'
all in favor say, this is my callin'
no stallin' out on these
You're goin' drama?
No, 'cause one of you is all the hoes that's owned by Domino
Here's somethin special, a vessel of sweet
let's take a shower next hour and wrestle,
the best will be gentle with thee
She laid the hands on my fade and played it cool and pushed
the pressure placed my head to her waist
she said shoosh
Overwhelmed by the sober realm I'm not in, got in
eat the treats like ebony cotton
and there I taste it, it wasn't my bad
she had to place it in my face, brown sugar and say don't waste it
[CHORUS]
The opening lines of the song, "I had bitches freaks and all that shit, but soon and very soon enough of that I would get," indicate that the singer is tired of his promiscuous ways and wants to settle down with one woman. He wakes up in the morning thinking of sex ("bonin'") and ends up calling someone to hook up with. However, he feels guilty about it and wonders if he'll get caught. The chorus "brown sugar, brown sugar" is a reference to the woman he is with, who, through her sweetness, has hooked him.
The second verse changes tone and becomes a reminiscence of the singer's sexual experiences with this woman. He is drawn to her smoothness ("smooth as Bacardi ooh and that body") and suggests that they take a shower and "wrestle," implying they will have sex. He is overwhelmed by her presence and admits to being "not in" the same realm as her. The singer is ultimately at the mercy of the woman he calls "brown sugar."
Overall, the song portrays a man torn between his desire for promiscuity and his desire for a stable relationship. The woman he is with, referred to as "brown sugar," is portrayed as sweet and irresistible, a temptation he can't resist but feels guilty about.
