Put A Lid On It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A lot of my homegirls are startin' young And after a while, a sad story is sung And then nine months later, you feel the flex When you go from Barbie dolls straight to sex Now, sex is wonderful and all that As long as you make sure you don't come up fat 'Cause if you get pregnant, that ain't cool And if you do it too much, you'll be known as a garden tool A lot of guys just wanna screw ya (Yep) And after that, they'll play like they never knew ya Don't get me wrong, they ain't all the same But most of them play the same game Of who they wanna get, and who they got But right about now all the girls are taught by Yo-Yo (Get 'em) 'Cause all he wanna get is you between the sheets But yo, put a lid on it [Interlude] "Body to body, makin' a baby" "We just met, we can't do that yet" "Body to body, makin' a baby" "We just met, we can't do that yet" "Don't you see what's going on?" [Verse 2] Listen, 'cause the pressure might get a little heavy If you don't want to, tell him you ain't ready (Yeah) But if he stays on you, tryna get his rep up (What's up, baby?) Deck up and tell the sucker just step off But if he don't understand, get you another man That's truly down with the program You tell him you're pregnant (What?), he might leave ya Or come up with a sad case of amnesia (Ayo, it ain't mine) Yo, I think that's a sign that your homeboy don't know the time So to keep from getting pregnant, and keep respect, huh Jimmy hats are in effect (Right) It protects, but that's another section Of the knowledge we kick in the girls' direction Yo-Yo, huh, has got a bid on it Homegirls in the house, put a lid on it [Interlude] "Body to body, makin' a baby" "We just met, we can't do that yet" "Body to body, makin' a baby" "We just met, we can't do that yet" "Don't you see what's going on?" "Don't you see what's going on?" "Don't you see what's going on?" "Don't you see what's going on?" [Verse 3] There's a girl in my hood's got a big rep (Yep) 'Cause she wasn't like me and watched her every step She got skeezed and she's talkin' 'bout how good it felt Now you have a stomach that sit-ups won't even help While he was shovin', he wasn't lovin' (Nope) Next thing you know, you got a bun in the oven, baby Or maybe you a ho, or you didn't know About protection in the store in the drug section You didn't like his complexion, it's sore So why'd you let him screw you, 'cause he had a lot of gold on? He just humped and dumped, you're feeling like a chump As he jumped bail, you continue to swell, though You shoulda picked a better fellow that's mellow (Word) Now you think you're cute, fat butt shaking like Jell-O I say hello, but it's a shame You already got two babies, girl, please (Damn) Put a lid on it [Outro] "Havin' baby after baby by the same old chump" "Don't you see what's going on?" "Havin' baby after baby by the same old chump" "Don't you see what's going on?" "Havin' baby after baby by the same old chump" "Don't you see what's going on?" "Havin' baby after baby by the same old chump" The IBWC is stompin' with a motherlode of stuff for ya And if you can't decipher that, then put a lid on it
