On The Low
Paperboys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see baby
i wonder how you been lately
it seems like you been waiting
so it’s only right that i get to hold you tonight
Hey yo I met a lot of women in my lifetime
usually get rid of them then reminisce and write rhymes
I need that right kind, some say I’m out of my right mind I say I am quite fine
just cautiousabout this life of mine
Though I like me a nice behind I try to hold back
learning more from thinking with my brainthan my boesack
But when I go where the hoes at -hollaluja- it just explodes
popedawg, and a lot of buddha, some up the nose and some amarula
I get my groove on
raising a toast to moe’s newborn, later bring my date to the futon
Here we go /turn the lights down low /bump the stereo.
“We can do whatever girl I won’t I tell
We can even take it to the motel
Nobody’s got to know -we can keep it on the low- Proper hoes
You look proper but I know you’re dirty
I won’t say nothing don’t you worry
We can keep it on the low / nobody got to know / proper hoes”
time for some action
get in the middle of a grind climaxing
and every bit of the behind that I’m waxing
is like fitted design that gets me triggered

so I spit a few lines
and she’s mine, I ain’t lying /I go the whole nine/
maybe even go down low put on a show just for old times/
drilling the hole like a goldmine -wow-
about to go blind
shaking from her toes through her whole spine
just let it go that’s no crime
I’m just glad I move you now maybe you can holla at junior
show me some of them manoeuvres you know so well
don’t be scared girl I ain’t gon tell.
Proper proper hoe come to papa
Let me get to know ya / Where I’m from we do things properly/
shorty let me show ya
No ones got to know about the freak in you besides me
Now who say’s just coz you proper we can’t keep it dirty
Yo you shouldn’t get attached to me
just coz we got it on boogie in rhapsody
You heard that vagabond is pretty yo but actually
that’s not a fact
that’s crap so if youre timid let this bachelor be
Get out the backseat/ tell a proper hoe to come in/
coz matter factly me and mine is soldiers in sin




You wanna spin let’s go / See this has been on the low
See my grin/ shit it’s just so you knowoohhh

Overall Meaning

In "On the Low" by Paperboys, the singer talks about meeting different women, but wanting to find someone special. He states that he likes a woman with a good mind, as well as a good body, and likes to go out and have a good time. He suggests going to a motel to have some fun without anyone knowing, telling his partner not to worry, and that they can keep it on the low. As the song progresses, the singer becomes more explicit about his sexual encounters, stating that he wants to get in the middle of the grind and experience the climax. He reassures his partner that they can keep it a secret, and that they should not get attached to one another.


The song seems to be about a casual sexual relationship with a partner who is kept a secret from others, as the singer references "proper hoes." However, the lyrics also show a desire for a deeper connection with someone who possesses not only a physical beauty but also intellectual qualities. The singer acknowledges that his actions may be considered wrong or taboo but rejects the stigma attached to such encounters.


The lyrics are full of slang, metaphors, and sexual innuendos, hinting at the nature of the relationship but never explicitly stating it. The freestyle nature of the song gives it a spontaneous feel, as if the singer is casually recounting his experiences to the listener.
