"Big Papa" lyrics
(from "Hell Up In Harlem" soundtrack)
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hoo! Yeah
Ow!
(Hey, hey, hey)
Woohoo!
(Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Hey, Big Papa
You've got to do your thing
Big Papa
But don't you be so mean
Driftin' down, fit to kill
Tryna live up to your name
Winin' and dinin' all of your girls
With an old man's mind and an young man's game, now
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hey, but you better slow down, down, down, down, down
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hey, hey, no
It's gonna get you down (Pa-pow)
It's gonna get you down, ow!
Big Papa (Big Papa)
Ow, don't you be so mean
Big Papa (Big Papa)
Hey, you got to do your thing
Gettin' it on, grippin' 'em all
Dealin' and hangin' tough (Hangin' tough)
Killin', stealin', knocking 'em down
Big Papa don't jive, don't take no stuff, now
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hey, man, you better slow down, down, down, down, down
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hey, hey, yeah
It's gonna get you down, Papa
It's gonna get you down, down, down, down, down
(Who?) Who's gonna stop you? Ow
(Who?)
(Big Papa, Big Papa
He's the one to stop you)
Messin' around, tryin' to run the town
Competition half your age (Half your age)
Confusion say big man in town
Ain't big no more when he's in his grave
(Big Papa, he's so mean)
Look out!
Big Papa (Big Papa)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
(Hey, Big Papa)
Hey
(Hey, hey, hey)
But you better slow down, down, down, down, down
(Hey, hey, hey)
Yeah
It's gonna get you down, Papa
It's gonna get you down, yeah
Big Papa (Hey, hey, Big Papa)
Don't you be so men
Big Papa (Hey, Papa, don't stop now)
You got to do your thing
Slow down (Big Papa, slow on down)
Hey Big Papa, you better slow down, down
(Big Papa, slow on down)
You can't last long now runnin' around, slow down!
(Can't catch him when he's down, not out)
Hey, Big Papa (Big Papa)
Hey, look out, now! (Can't catch him when he's down, not out)

Tryna live up to your name
Winin' and dinin' all of your girls
With an old man's mind and an young man's game, now

Hey, but you better slow down, down, down, down, down
