Da Booty Lyrics

    [q-tip]
    Question
    What is it that everybody has
    And some pirates and theives try to take

    [chorus]
    Da booty (and if you is a crook than you takin' it)
    Da booty (and if you got money you shakin' it)
    Da booty (come on everybody that's here, that's word
    To phife dawg and my man shaheed)

    [q-tip]
    I give my promise to all y'all to keep my shit hittin'
    Half of y'all claim dog but now a light kitten
    Flippin' on brothers just like mary lou retton
    Get off that ass and see what i'm settin'
    Born with this inside, you just can't get it
    This is the lethal pop and you have no weapon
    Who is the native brother who keep asses steppin'
    Make deep impressions and constantly be reppin'

    [phife]
    When i was young i'd stretch gouch yo
    Now i'm on letterman, on the couch yo
    The black thing with knives is called the back do'
    Can't we be cool instead of being foul though
    Ghetto child dreams of fast cars and fast dollars
    Impressions of live sometimes makes ya holler
    Scream all that devil shit and talk like a scholar
    You dumb as a doorknob, and why do you bother

    [q-tip]
    Phife dawg puttin' the bite back in yours
    Top dog, puttin' it up, flick his balls
    Mc from now til i get a frown
    Shake that ass girl because you world renowned
    Wake up, look at the sun, see the sights
    Bull duke, you've got to die for your rights
    Mc's, y'all got to work for the mic
    Zombies, do it from dusk to the night

    [chorus]

    [q-tip]
    Rock to the beat, yo it's never the same
    Good girls usually got good game
    Hot cats tearin' that ass out the frills
    Block ass, you had no skills, that's the reals
    Make this money without the friction
    Take this honey, there goes your diction
    Rappers better retreat, fix your joints
    My whole crew got bumps on they points

    [phife]
    Rumors being spread 'bout me and my click
    We can't rock shows and our rhymes ain't shhh
    Might not've heard it, or maybe you have
    Between me and you, they can kiss my ass
    Used to get angry, used to get quite vexed
    But say what you may, just cash my check
    'cause all i'm ever guilty of is going on tour
    Doing shows galore, and bringin' it raw

    [chorus]
