What We Do (For Love)

[Intro: Slick Rick, Kid 1, Kid 2 & both]

I'm tired

Me too

Uncle Ricky

Hmmm?

Could you tell us a bedtime story, like you used to?

Look, don't y'all think y'all too old for that now?

No

Listen, I got an adult question for y'all since y'all like, 11 now

Y'all ever get horny?

Uncle Ricky!

Now I don't mean to sound perverted

But do you ever have like sexual urges?

No!

No? Well, you will, so sit your behind down

And listen to Uncle Ricky and De La tell y'all a grown-up story

Okay

[Verse 1: Trugoy the Dove, Slick Rick & Posdnuos]

I remember when Mama spoke of the birds, and

The east side kept me off the curb, and

Betsy Ross was sufferin' from the scaredy cat

So my man Ricky brought the remedy for that

I massage your mink, coat

Then part your legs open

And stroke so hard you'll start to smell smoke

Ain't got a drug problem, but a love problem

But then again that may be one in the same

I claim possession

Pull the girl among the apes like Charlie Heston

Ride off on the horse and show no remorse

She look nice...

Honey oriental, brown eyes

Want fries...?

Chicken, vegetable, fried rice

And I'm tryin' to– you to-go

Fast subtraction, grab some

"Oh, don't stop, nasty black man"

Man, that action had me coughin' up cars, keys, and cash

Just to sniff a fat rabbit, I would give my very last

[Chorus: Slick Rick, (Posdnuos)]

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

Just to get it started, for startin' something

Is what we do to get some lovin' (Yeah)

What we do to get some lovin'

This what we do for love (For love)

This what we do for love (For love)

This what we do for love

[Verse 2: Posdnuos & Slick Rick]

You ain't lying now

I 9-to-5 it, more like 12-to-12

Can't get the thought of (Sex) from off my mental shelf

And I'm like Bruce Lee

Beatin' up the cootchie profusely

My tomboy chicks that act a little too butchy

Recieve this (Uh)

When my semen ceases

They'll be screamin' out, "We love being the female species"

[Interlude: Veronica & Trugoy the Dove]

Hello?

Veronica, it's Dave

Uh... I think you got the wrong number

What?

(Veronica, your baby's crying!)

Yo, chill

...Baby?!

Whatever yo, later

[Verse 3: Trugoy the Dove, Slick Rick & Posdnuos]

For the past two summers, I been sizing up Veronica

Southern belle, I heard she blow notes like a harmonica

Yarmulkes couldn't satisfy her spendin' fetishes (Hmm)

She was all about gettin' the head like she was lettuces (Hmm)

Yeah, them types be acting like they ain't sleazy

Like this Uptown chick playing opposite of easy

Delighted, the honey fly difficult, couldn't knife it

Tight...

Seen the imprint on honey's private

Now she's love sick

Ruler Rick scoress again!

Sex present itself like trophies, I'm out to win

And it's easier to claim through the fame I've obtained

Her mommy was a liar, she's so ashamed

[Chorus: Slick Rick, (Posdnuos)]

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

Just to get it started, for startin' something

Is what we do to get some lovin'

This what we do for love (Do for love)

This what we do for love (For love)

[Verse 4: Slick Rick, Posdnuos & Trugoy the Dove]

Well, I got this rudeboi Jamaican honey at the rest home

Complete with yellow hair and Cinderella dress on

("What happen?")

Been around, stuck her 'till she poppin' bout

"Hey, take your bloodclot finger off mi bottom"

Anyway, another dime I met one time

I'm kind, chick in the world, butt fine

And her structure pumpin'

Told her, got ya mumblin'

'Bout "Slow down, what, you tryin to rupture somethin'?"

I don't bug out, I chill

Never copped a feel

But these pretty ass girls come and flaunt in the grill

Big ass eyes, with the matching big ass thighs

Asked her if she spare a moment to exchange some lies

"But you got a girlfriend"

"Yeah, trick, so do you

And I heard there's no preference in what gender ya do" (Hmm)

So stop playing so squeaky clean

And let the dirty side see me later

So we can play 'wake the neighbors'

So stuck on the love you rearranging behaviors

Second episode, and you returning oral favors

Buying up groceries, searching for hosiery

Holding hands publicly, and now you supposed to be

Mr. and Mrs., huh? Lovin' and kisses, huh?

But while you away is when the milkman'll visit her (Yeah)

Dear to the heart, we dearly depart the fallen

So skip the games, ma, I stay tuned to the calling

[Chorus: Slick Rick, (Posdnuos)]

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

Just to get it started, for startin' something

Is what we do to get some lovin'

This what we do for love (Do for love)

This what we do for love (All together now)

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

Just to get it started, for startin' something

Is what we do to get some lovin' (Yeah)

This what we do for love (Do for love)

This what we do for love (For love)

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

(When nature calls) You know them boys will come runnin'

(When nature calls) You know them girls don't mind comin'

Just to get it started, for startin' something

Is what we do to get some lovin' (Yeah)

This what we do for love (Do for love)

This what we do for love (For love)

(When nature calls) You know them boys...
