Lyrics:

Arm me with harmony

Dave, drop a load on 'em

O.P.P., how can I explain it

I'll take it frame by frame it

To have y'all all jumping, shouting, saying it

O is for other, P is for peoples', scratch your temple

The last P, well that's not that simple

It's sort of like, well, another way to call a cat a kitten

It's five little letters that are missing here

You get on occasion if the other party isn't gaming

It seems I gotta start the explaining, bust it

You ever had a girl and met her on a nice hello

You get her name and number and then left feeling real mellow

You get home, wait a day she's what you wanna know about

Then you call up and it’s her girlfriend’s or her cousin’s house?!

It’s not a front, a F to the R to the O to the N to the T;

It's just her boyfriend's at her house

(Oh that’s why she’s scary)

It's OPP, time other people's what you get it

There's no room for relationship there's just room to hit it

How many brothers out there know just what I'm getting at

Who think it's wrong cause I was splitting and co-hitting that

Well if you do, that's O.P.P. and you're not down with it

But if you don't, here's your membership

You down with O.P.P.? (Yeah, you know me) [x3]

Who’s down with O.P.P.? (Every last homey)

You down with O.P.P.? (Yeah, you know me) [x3]

Who’s down with O.P.P.? (All the homies)

Well, for the ladies O.P.P. means something different

The first two letters' the same but the last is something different

It's the longest, loveliest, lean, I call it the leanest

It's another five letter word rhyming with "cleanness" or "meanness"

I won't get into that, I'll do it ah sorta properly

I'll say the last P hmmm stands for property

Now lady here comes a kiss, blow a kiss back to me

Now tell me exactly

Have you ever known a brother who had another like a girl or wife

And you just had to stop a toast cause he looked just that nice?

You looked at him, he looked at you and you knew right away

He had someone but he was gonna be yours anyway!

You couldn't be seen with him at all and still you didn't care

Cause in a room behind a door no one but y'all are there

When y'all are finished, y'all can leave and only y'all would know

And then y'all could throw that skeleton bone right in the closet do'.

Now don't be shocked cause if you're down I want your hands up high

Say O.P.P. (O.P.P.) I like to say with pride

Now when you do it, do it well and make sure that it counts

You're now down with a discount

You down with O.P.P.? (Yeah, you know me!) [x3]

Who’s down with O.P.P.? (Every last lady!)

You down with O.P.P.? (Yeah, you know me!) [x3]

Who’s down with O.P.P.? (All the ladies!)

A scab tried to O.P.P. me

I had a girl and she knew that. Matter-of-fact her and my girl was partners that

Had a fall out, disagreement, yeah an argument

She tried to do me so we did it in my apartment

Bust it

That wasn't the thing it must have been the way she hit the ceiling

Cause after that she kept on coming back and catching feelings

I said, "Let's go, my girl is coming so you gotta leave."

She said, "Oh no, I love you, Treach!" I said, "Now, child, please!

"You gots to leave, come grab your coat, right now you gotta go!"

I said, "Now look you chooses stairs or chooses the window

This was a thing, a little thing, you shouldn't have brought your heart

Cause you know I was OPP, hell from the very start!"

Come on, come on, now let me tell you what it's all about

When you get down, you can't go 'round running off at the mouth

That's rule number one in this O.P.P. establishment

You keep your mouth shut and it won't get back to her or him!

Exciting isn't it, a special kinda business

Many of you will catch the same sorta O.P.P. messing with

Him or her for sure ain't going to admit it

When O.P.P. comes, damn skippy I'm with it

You down with O.P.P.? (Yeah you know me!) [x3]

Who’s down with O.P.P.? (This whole party!)

[x2]
