Don't Let 'Em - Bootsy Collins, Rosie Gaines, Snoop Dogg

Rosie G. and Bootsy, in the house!

(You got to do it)

You got to do it, ooooh yeah baby!

Tell 'em what we talkin' bout, Snoop

Pullin' and grabbin' you

Rattlesnakin' and stabbin' you

Things you wouldn’t imagine

Simply because you like havin' people

Talkin about you but you can’t pay no attention

They say, that’s how it is

Even when you be livin' presidential

They always funkin' with you

Especially when you go official

Take it from me, a GC

People are so fictitial

Sticks and stones they break bones

And Talk make the weak fall off

While the strong keep keepin' on

Rosie Gaines:

I take two steps forward

They try to knock me four steps back

Whenever I see color

They only see white or black

Whenever I speak my mind

They put words in my mouth

Do they really think that I’m lyin'

When I know what they’re all about?

Don’t let them put you down

No, don’t let’em

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let’em

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let’em

When I’m in my sunshine

They bring their rain to fall

I’m lookin' at this picture

But they can’t see it at all

I’m steppin' on the gas

And I wanna move ahead

They say I’ll never make it

But that’s what they always said

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let’em

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let’em

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let’em

Put ya feet on the gas step on fast

Bootsy:

You say «In God We Trust»

While you promote hate, fear and lust

And Love, Joy and Pain

Is in a constant struggle for superior gain

Don’t let them put you down (don't just stand there)

Don’t let them put you down (sound so funky to me, yeah)

Don’t let them put you down (Oh, don’t let’em)

Don’t let them put you down

Don’t let’em

Oh yeah, just another dog day afternoon

Have you ever been on a trip

And found out that you was from another time, baby

Where unconditional love takes root

And our intelligence is absolutely color-blind baby

(Don't let’em)

Twinkle, twinkle little star

You got your hands up in my cookie jar (Don't let’em)

Snoop:

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

Don’t talk about it about it

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

Don’t talk about it about it

(Don't let them put you down)

Tell 'em what we talkin' bout, Snoop

See, I was once told that

To be talked about was one of the greatest forms of flattery

And I’m flattered that you’re talkin' about me

For you to talk about me

Is something fun to do, Baby

Yeah you keep doin' what you do

Cause I’m definitely gon' keep doin' what I do

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

I’m not gon' talk about it I’m gon' be about it

Can you dig it?

(Yeah) I don’t know nothin' but to do it, baby

And I’m gon' do it with the Do-It-Fluid, can you dig it?

(I can dig it!)

It’s dug!

(Uhh, we outta here, baby)

The People’s Choice there you have it

The most valuable players baby

(Don't let 'em)

Finger funkin', just finger funkin', baby

(Don't let 'em)

Uh, let the fingers do the funkin'

(Don't let 'em)

We out, Baby!
