The group formed in East Orange, New Jersey, and first appeared on the music scene in the late 1980's releasing an album titled The Independent Leaders, under their then name The New Style. The album generated the minor hit "Scuffin' Those Knees". After the release of their first album, the group was subsequently mentored by fellow New Jersey native Queen Latifah and consequently changed their name.
Their first hit as Naughty By Nature was a track titled "O.P.P." ("Other People's Parts"), which sampled the The Jackson 5's hit "ABC" and was released in 1991 on their self-titled debut album. The album also generated another hit titled "Ghetto Bastard" (the track is often referred to as "Everything's Gonna Be Alright"). Fellow New Jersey native Tony D, accused Naughty by Nature of stealing a sample from his breakbeat album Music Makes You Move and using it on their track "O.P.P.". The matter was settled out of court. Later they had multiple hits from their third and fourth albums, titled 19 Naughty III and Poverty's Paradise respectively.
"Hip Hop Hooray" was a success from the album 19 Naughty III. Its video was directed by Spike Lee and featured other hip-hop artists popular in the early 1990's, including Queen Latifah, Eazy-E, and Kris Kross.
The group also scored a major hit with the track "Uptown Anthem", from the soundtrack to the 2Pac movie Juice.
In later years, Naughty by Nature started their own music imprint, Illtown Records, and released an album from their proteges the Rottin Razkals. The group (mainly Kaygee) worked closely with a number of rnb groups over the years particularly Zhané and Next.
An ongoing dispute between Kaygee and Treach saw Kaygee leave Naughty by Nature in late 2000 to concentrate on his Divine Mill label. The remainder of the group released an album in 2002 titled IIcons, using a variety of different producers including Da Beatminerz - the album however received a lukewarm reception from the public. Treach is rumoured to be releasing a solo album soon. Kaygee has been extremely successful building his Divine Mill imprint with 2 platinum plus albums on both (Divine Mill acts) Jaheim and Next as well as songs on albums from Syleena Johnson and Charlie Wilson among others. In May 2006 Kay Gee reunited with Treach and Naughty by Nature at a concert at B.B. King's nightclub. They will be working together on their next album.
What You Wanna Do
Naughty By Nature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, it's Pink, feelin' naughty
I like the way you rock, I hope you never stop
I like the way you sound, the way you put it down
No way that I can fight it, I got my eye on you
You got me so excited, so what you gonna do'
Had on fitted jeans, thong showing, pink pumps
Puppy named Fucker, back to her body, boom bow
Escalation push had ribs like, oh, child
Taking you to lunch, what you gonna do'
She said, "I'm picking up the check and
Handing it to you", fine and witty, oh, so pretty
Drop the Gucci, prop that coochie, oops
I lost my train of thought watching her walk
You know, I'm looking at that ass, it ain't my fault
Get drinks, get laugh, get talk, get long
Got Pink, got hash, got smoke, got blunts
Rhinestones spiffy, she's more than pretty
Lovin' my thuggin', rubbin' my fifty nine fifty
Bullets in your bra or your nipples, hey
We laughed, talked shit, then next she said
I like the way you rock, I hope you never stop
I like the way you sound, the way you put it down
No way that I can fight it, I got my eye on you
You got me so excited, so, baby, what you gonna do'
Check it, first met her at the Fox Hill mall, getting out of her car
She had a homie with her stood about six feet tall
Both swing couldn't help but think manajatwa
So where you from we represent Crenshaw
Where they bang by law, slip your jack in your car
Oh, and I'm Kelly and her name is Sherry
And she likes to sip yeagermister from her belly
We'll show you if you wanna we can go hit the deli
Man, I don't think you're ready for this jelly
All pre-trick, a major erection before we go pull over at a 7-11
Protection is a must to survive and in ghetto heaven
You gotta wrap it up before you go and put your head in
We pulled up and jumped right in bed
While caressing my head, they looked up and said
I like the way you rock, I hope you never stop
I like the way you sound, the way you put it down
No way that I can fight it, I got my eye on you
You got me so excited, so what you gonna do'
that's the way, kay, kay
Naughty likes it, kay, kay
What I wanna do you had to pick that question
Kiss it, lick it, extra friction, flex it
Love the kitty, tongue and tittie, till you sweat it
Toss you 'round my room like boom' I'll press it
I like, I like, back forth, heave ho
Round and round, baby, round we go
And I ain't here to taste the poom poom for hours
I'm here to make your poom poom hours
In the shower, in the sauna, in the deli
Boom Machiavelli, KY jelly, ass to belly
Get peace with it, slap it, slap it
Treat the mattress like a human magnet, grab it
I like the way you slide it, ride it
Don't hide it, divide it, I'm two steps behind it
I like the way you rock, I hope you never stop
I like the way you sound, the way you put it down
No way that I can fight it, I got my eye on you
You got me so excited, so what you gonna do'
Tell me, baby, oh, yeah
I like the way you rock, I hope you never stop
I like the way you sound, the way you put it down
No way that I can fight it, I got my eye on you
You got me so excited, so what you gonna do'
So what you gonna do' Yeah, yeah
I can't fight it, babe, you know I gotta get it, babe
You gotta give it to me, babe, oh, what you gonna do'

Y'all need some rock 'n roll in your life
You guys should add some excitement to your lives
I like the way you rock, I hope you never stop
I love the way you move and hope you keep doing it
I like the way you sound, the way you put it down
I enjoy your music and how you perform it
No way that I can fight it, I got my eye on you
I can't resist you, you have my full attention
You got me so excited, so what you gonna do'
You're making me feel so good, what are we going to do about it?
I dig deep like the ship sunk, saw Pink cutie wink once
I pay close attention to everything, including the way Pink looks at me
Taking you to lunch, what you gonna do'
I'm asking you out for lunch, what's your response?
She said, 'I'm picking up the check and handing it to you',
She says she'll pay, and give me the check
I lost my train of thought watching her walk
I got distracted by how she walks
You got Pink, got hash, got smoke, got blunts
We have Pink, weed, and some drugs
Check it, first met her at the Fox Hill mall, getting out of her car
I first saw her getting out of her car at the Fox Hill mall
Where they bang by law, slip your jack in your car
In this neighborhood, it's common to get carjacked, so be careful and lock your car up
All pre-trick, a major erection before we go pull over at a 7-11
Even before anything happens, I already have an erection as we stop at a 7-11
I'm here to make your poom poom ours
I want to pleasure you until we both have a good time
Toss you 'round my room like boom' I'll press it
I'll move you around my room and make passionate love to you
Don't hide it, divide it, I'm two steps behind it
Don't be shy, let's share it, and I'm right behind you
So what you gonna do' Yeah, yeah
What are you going to do about it?
I can't fight it, babe, you know I gotta get it, babe
I can't resist, I need to be with you
You gotta give it to me, babe, oh, what you gonna do'
Please let me have what I want, what's our next move?
