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]
