El DeBarge
Hand in Hand (Live)
[Intro]
Ha ha
Yes

[Verse 1]
Now who says we can't be fly?
Who say Compton n***as can't get they scrilla
At the same time get some thigh
Well uh, that's the subject of my conversation
'Cause ain't nothin' like gettin' a dollar and some penetration
Now that's a whole lot easier to understand nowadays
But uh, some of you n***as still be going out sideways
So uh, just take this game with a Tic Tac
'Cause if you was on Skid Row you can get pussy faster than a Big Mac
I owe it to myself to be fly, that's what Top Dog taught a boy
'Cause instead of Mounds these bitches always want Almond Joy
'Cause um "Sometimеs they feel like a nut"
But they rathеr have it more often than they don't
So I won't go flippin' and makin' it topsy turvy
Now keep my hundred dollar bills crisp and that ass curvy
'Cause ain't nothin' on my mind but to be fly through time
Havin' a nest egg buried behind an estate that's mine
Watchin' Jordan go for forty in a sunken tub
Watchin' Kobe go for eighty in a sunken tub
Because first you get the power, then you get the money
Then you get the pussy, dude, don't be no dummy, now
[Chorus]
Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some nana that's for you to decide
But as long as you ain't simpin' then you're doin' it right
'Cause together they go hand in hand, oh yeah
Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some nana that's for you to decide
But as long as you ain't simpin' then you're doin' it right
'Cause together they go hand in hand, oh yeah

[Bridge]
Now, John, you know I can't do El DeBarge's part
Can you do it? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
That's what I'm talkin' about
Now can y'all do the other part of the song?
That little pretty harmony? (You know, you know)
Right here? (Ladadadadadada, ladadadada)
Y'all make it sound good, one more time (You know, you know)
What y'all do? (Ladadadadadada, ladadadada)
Sy Young, good job
One more time before we go back to the hook
I got the low part (Ladadadadadada, ladadadada)
Yes

[Chorus]
Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some nana that's for you to decide
But as long as you ain't simpin' then you're doin' it right
'Cause together they go hand in hand, oh yeah
Playas get they paper when they game is tight
And if you want some nana that's for you to decide
But as long as you ain't simpin' then you're doin' it right
'Cause together they go hand in hand, oh yeah
[Outro]
Yes
House of Blues, Hollywood, California
Ladadadadadada, ladadadada
You know, you know, oh
Ladadadadadada, ladadadada
