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
