Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Skeezer

Let's get it on, what's the beef?
Is it my breath? No problem, I'll brush my teeth
There's really no reason why you should flake
Unless you got somethin' you think I'll take
Whatever you got, homegirl, keep it kept
In due respect Kangol will step
To another young lady that'll keep him warm
Hey, what would you say if I said (let's get it on)

Full-settin introducin', you know the procedure
If you don't cooperate with me, I don't need ya
'Cause if you ain't droppin', I'll stop clockin'
And all the pretty girls I don't know I be rockin'
British by birth and I'll well endowed
And frontin' on me is just not allowed
And if you don't give me what I'm askin' you for
You can meet my friend, the door

So long
She woulda got it on

You ugly skeezer
Let's get it on
Let's get it on

Can I get a witness that this girl is fine?
I never seen her, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm imaginin' how her body would be
Come, get to this, mercy, mercy me
You got to give it up, you need sexual healing
I'm not a troubled man, this is what I'm feeling
You were sanctified, lady, from the day you were born
Distant lover what's goin on?

Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on
(I want you, skeezer)
Let's get it on

I used to think that you was treatin' me wrong
It took a while, I admit, but I caught on
Every day I kept my hands in my pocket
Wonderin' when was I gonna knock it
The more I think about it, the more is sweat
The harder you make it, the harder I get
If I didn't want you, baby, I wouldn't've wrote the song
How much I got to pay ya, girl, to make you say (let's get it on)

I love it, girl, when you sit down with me
And if I'm too straight to the point, please, forgive me
I let my fingers do the walkin' too much
Come to think about it, that's really not such
A terrible gesture, I should test ya
Tried to get ya even though I just met ya
And if I'm lucky and my rap is strong
You might change your mind and say (let's get it on)

Yo Buckwheat
I'ma give you some light on this one
"Ooh, do that"

See, I'm a stubborn kind of fellow but I know I can bring
Happiness, cause ain't nothin' like the real thing
If this world were mine I'd be also true
'Cause I'd truly love do be loved by you
And ain't no mountain high enough to stop this wind
I'll cold hitch-hike, that's the way love is
No need to procrastinate all night long
What other than be me (let's get it on)

Aight baby, now why you flakin'
Ah, you gon' flake
Then I'm just gon' diss you

Your mother so dirty when she go take a bath,
The water jump out and say 'I'll wait'

Your mother so skinny, she can hula-hoop in a Cheerio
Your mother hair is so short, she rose her hair with a ????
Your mother's so stupid, she got hit by a parked car
Your mother's brain ??????
I heard your mother has three teeth,
One in her mouth and two in her pockets
Yo, I hear your mother got a job at the airport sniffin' luggage
I heard your mother glasses are so thick, she can see the future
Your mother so stupid, she asked what army Colonel Abrahams was in

Yo Doc, that skeezer lookin' at you
(Let's get it on)
Let's hear she gon'
Let's see she gon' do the do
(Let's get it on)
Yo Ed
Check out them skeezers
(Let's get it on)




I think they want to get it on
(Let's get it on)
