Do Do Wap Is Strong in Here - Curtis Mayfield

Well!

To keep from dyin', hey!

hey!

I’ve been lyin', uh huh!

Shot a man, hey!

and I stole and ran

Well!

Well!

we tried to beat 'em

And I lost my freedom

My woman know that I’m in need

So save some of mine for me

If you got to give it up.

don’t desert me

'Cause leavin' me you know it would hurt me

Snake pits and lucifer burns

Can’t take the strength I’ve earned and learned

Grease, it just ain’t greasy

And nasty baby come so easy

Ain’t no heaven.

ain’t no heaven, this devil level

All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

I get stoned, I get stoned

Saw him pile him in the shower

Hey!

Now I plan to be a bad titty sucker

And I plan to stay a black motherfucker

Stepped in depth of the same livin' hell

So I ain’t too proud to die here as well

Aw!

Do Do Wap is strong in here

Do Do Wap is strong in here

Waking up to find yourself creamin'

Check your fears and hope that you’re dreamin'

A little space is all that I need

If these suckers just allow me to breathe

My woman’s candy makin' him sick

But when I cop there won’t be nothin' to lick

Give her some of all the hard, hard pain

Make her achin' body call for my name

My woman know my passion of needs

So save some of mine if you please

If you got to give it up, don’t desert me

If you leave me, babe, know it would hurt me, hey!

Do Do Wap is strong in here

Do Do Wap is stro’ng in here

Wakin' up to find yourself creamin'

Check your fears and hope that you’re dreamin'

A little space is all that I need

If these suckers just allow me to breathe

Snake pits and lucifers burns

Can’t take the strength I’ve earned and learned

Stepped in depth of the same livin' hell

Ain’t too proud to die here as well

Do Do Wap is strong in here

Do Do Wap is strong in here, hey!

hey!

Do Do Wap is strong in here

Do Do Wap is strong in here
