Kyper's sophomore album, 1992's 'Countdown to the Year 2000', failed to meet expectations. With the hip-hop scene evolving, he soon became known as a one-hit-wonder, with just "Tic Tac Toe" getting any airplay. After being dropped from Atlantic, he independently released several singles and remixes through the 90s as well as the early 00s. Kyper continues to perform, and his more recent work takes in more electronic dance music influences.
Do It
Kyper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doit til your feet get sore
Doit it if you rich or poor
Doit til you can't take no more.
Doit til your body sweats
Doit til your clothes are wet.
Doit no matter how hard it gets
Do it cause you aint done it yet.
Chorus
Doit it good and doit right
Doit if it takes all night
Doit girl with all your might.
If [something] ... (fight)???
Lets doit til our bodies blend.
Were married so it aint no sin
Doit now and do it then.
When were finished yo we'll doit again.
Chorus
Doit in your daddys car
No matter where you are
On the bench in the park
In the light or the dark
Ladies doit with your man.
If you don't he'll use his hand
Doit cause you know you can.
You can doit with the whole band.
Doit til you feel the pain
Doit in the sun or rain
Doit girl and show no shame
You can doit on the aeroplane
Doit with your legs up high
Doit or Ill make you cry
Doit with your arms out wide
Doit now don't be shy.
Chorus
The lyrics of Kyper's song "Do It" are all about dancing and letting go on the dancefloor. The repetition of the phrase "doit" creates an infectious beat that encourages the listener to break free from inhibitions and just have a good time. The song is all about uninhibited joy - the lyrics "doit til your feet get sore" and "doit til your body sweats" emphasize the idea of surrendering oneself to the rhythm of the music and allowing it to take over.
The song touches on themes of gender and power dynamics throughout. There is a suggestion that women should dance with their partners, or else risk their partners resorting to using their hands. This allusion to sexual coercion is troubling, especially given the context of the lyrics as a party song meant to encourage carefree enjoyment. The idea of dancing with the "whole band" also hints at the idea of participating in group sex, which is another layer of unsavory suggestion in the song.
Overall, the lyrics of Kyper's "Do It" express a message of liberation and freedom through dancing. The party atmosphere of the song is embodied in its lyrics, as Kyper encourages his listeners to abandon their inhibitions and celebrate the power of dance.
