The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.
The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.
The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of New York's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise UK Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).
In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.
In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.
Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.
Baby Please
Jurassic 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby wanna make a baby baby please what she say to me
Yeah
Ain't nuttin' new up under the sun
She want a boy
I don't want none
Girl just wanna have fun
[Chorus]
Nuttin' new up under the sun
Got a brother up under the gun
Better run cause a girl got a plan to get a man
Ain't a ring on my hand
All she wants is me and her to be one
Uh, let me tell you how the story begun
At first thought she was the one
She was chill then so much fun
Her uzi weighed a ton
Didn't know I was chillin with a loaded gun
Can you feel or hear me son
Disappear reappear call me hang up
Love me hate me quit me date me
Baby on the low might Robert Blake me
You want your problem solved holla dog
Can't be seen with her in the mall
Givin' you a piece of my catalogue
Never thought you would pull up at a broad
But I had it y'all
Bagged it y'all
Hate it when a girl get mad at y'all
I'm savage y'all
Don't panic nah
The reason why a fly nigga haven't called
[Chorus]
Ain't nuttin' new up under the sun
No money no car why you call me a bum
Cause you got cake and I'm scrapin' crumbs
Now I'm on the video your face look stunned
[Chorus]
Nutin up under the sun
Fellas succumb when they nails and they hair get done
It's better for some to tell'em when young
Keep'em under space in the place til they head get spun
I can't mess wit you hoes
Out to get my dough
Alterior with the mo
From my heart the plot is closed
You know
You thought since I was nice
Since I was blind like some mice
But I'm a man with that vice
Baby please get it right
All of us used to walk the world
Akward scared to talk to girls
Every flavor even chocolate swirl
Can't get a housewife from a stalker girl
Ah ah
Cannot handle a high caliber woman
Camera hold steady
A blast and I'm a move it around
Tryin take advantage and vanish for standing how I'm a get down
[Chorus]
Ain't nutin new up under the sun
She want a boy
I don't want none
Girl just wanna have fun
I'm tryin to get my funds count my ones
[Chorus]
Uh, I'm a break it down real real quick
Just cause she fine don't mean she fine
In the time it took me to write this rhyme
Baby done slept with all man kind
Don't play me play lotto
You can't rip it like no throttle
Get yo ass up out that bottle girl
Stuck up in some model world
Let me spit this man
With miss thang
Put it in the way just to get this Jane
Sorry girlfriend I forgot your name
Don't blame me just blame the game
Your claim to fame ain't your brain
Without no game her end can't complain
She don't wanna make the change
She just wanna shake that thing and chase that fame
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics of the song "Baby Please" by Jurassic 5 are a warning to men about the dangers of being with the wrong women. The chorus of the song repeats the line, "Nuttin' new up under the sun, all she wants is me and her to be one." The singer seems to be saying that he's caught up in a situation with a woman who is trying to trap him, and he wants nothing to do with it. In the first verse, the singer describes a woman who wants to have his baby, even though he doesn't want a child. He tries to distance himself from her by focusing on his own financial goals.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of the first verse, with the singer warning that the woman he's involved with is more dangerous than she seems. He compares her to a loaded gun, and warns that she might disappear and reappear. He also adds a touch of dark humor with the line, "Baby on the low might Robert Blake me," referencing the infamous murder trial of actor Robert Blake.
Overall, "Baby Please" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of being with the wrong woman. Through its lyrics, the song warns men to be careful and pay attention to the signs that a woman might be using them or trying to trap them.
