Schoolyard Songtext

(Schoolyard)

I was only 16
And her name was Carrie
She was the number one little girl
I wanted to marry me
She was only 14
But she had the major body
Yeah, this girl was mean
Ooh

Me and Ace picked Carrie up
From school one day
We took her for a ride in Ace′s car
Music started to play
We sat real close
Both nervous
Lookin' at each other
Not knowin′ what to say
Mmm


Carrie was a sister but her eyes
Kinda made her look Japanese
Her short cut afro, shiny and soft
Her clothes fit to please
Ace was a real fast driver
With every turn
Carrie fell in my lap
He asked us where we wanted to go
I said, "Yeah, right"
"Like you need a map"

Schoolyard
Schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard

With a wink and a nod
We were off to Ace's pod
Like peas
We was hangin′ for the night
Mmm

The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin′ it on in the schoolyard

We never want it
For the children of our own
We all pray better seeds
We have sown
But one story that is most commonly known
Is gettin' it on in the schoolyard
(Schoolyard)


Ace′s girl showed up
That's when the party started jumpin′
Tower of Power "Squib Cakes"
Steady humpin'
I said, "Carrie, hmm"
"Do you wanna dance?"
She said, "Mmhmm, yeah"
"Like, later man"
"First let me smoke this weed"
I said, "Damn!"
"My cologne ain′t sayin' shit"
"If this is what she needs"

Yeah, before I knew it
Carrie was seein' double (uhh)
That′s when me and her got into trouble
So much for the dance
I started takin′ off Carrie's pants

The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin′ it on in the schoolyard
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Now boys and girls
For the graphic part
Close your ears
If you ain't got a nasty heart
(Schoolyard)
(Schoolyard) (Here we go)
Now take a glove
Fill it with hot baby lotion
And slip it on (well)
Pull it tight
That′s what Carrie was like
One stroke and I was gone
Gone I was, it's true (schoolyard)
(Schoolyard)

When your schoolyard baby comes home
And it′s all that's on their mind
You try to remember how you felt
Your very first time, oh

The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard (gettin′ it on)

We never want it
For the children of our own (oh no)
We all pray better seeds (yeah)
We have sown (ooh)
But one story that is most commonly known (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is gettin′ it on in the schoolyard (gettin' it on, oh)
(Well, gettin′ it on, ha ha)

The schoolyard (schoolyard)
The schoolyard (gettin' it on)
Gettin′ it on in the schoolyard (boy, you're gettin′)
Schoolyard (schoolyard)
Schoolyard (schoolyard)
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard (gettin' it on, gettin′)
(Gettin′ it on, yeah, yeah)

The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard
The schoolyard
The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin′ it on in the schoolyard
Is gettin' it on in the schoolyard

(Gettin′ it on)
The schoolyard
The schoolyard (gettin' it on)
The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin′ it on in the schoolyard
(Get gettin', gettin' it on)
The schoolyard
The schoolyard (get gettin′, get gettin′, gettin')
(Get gettin′, get gettin', gettin′)
The schoolyard (get gettin', get gettin′, gettin' it on)
The schoolyard

The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard
We never want it
For the children of our own
We all pray better seeds
We have sown
But one story that is most commonly known
Is gettin′ it on in the schoolyard

The schoolyard
The schoolyard
The schoolyard
The schoolyard
The schoolyard
Gettin′ it on in the schoolyard
