Parliament – Ya Habit lyrics

[Intro: George Clinton]
Hello (yeah)
Excuse me, could you put the piper on the phone?
Apparently thats who's making all the decisions around here

[Verse 1: George Clinton and Backup Singers]
(Da da da) Walkin' down the street with no hope
But I'mma make it home with my dope (da da da)
You see me and quick say "throw me a rope"
If you can't cope, just say "nope" (da da da)
(da da da) if you want a backstage pass
(du du du du dududu) drop it like its hot and don't make me ask
Give me a hit
I need that shit!

[Refrain]
Uninvited, into my brain, my habit creeps at will
Now I'm compelled to pour some water so I can pop this pill
That's for real, not for play, that's the deal, what you say?
Yeah (ooh)

Try to make it home with my dope!

[Verse 2]
Greetings (da da da), I am you habit
I am as far as you can see. (da da da)
Tossin', turnin', wake up in the mornin'
Ya you gon' come deal with me. (da da da)
(da da da) Whether you call me an excuse, like you needed a reason, your ass is ripe for the pickin', and dope addiction is definitely in season. Bitch!

[Refrain]
Uninvited, into my brain, my habit creeps at will
Now I'm compelled to pour some water so I can pop this pill
That's for real, not for play, that's the deal, what you say?
Yeah (ooh)

Try to make it home with my dope!

You need me
You got a prescription?
I got an urge
Shit, you got a need, you can't ignore it
You gotta make it hope with two [?]

[Interlude]
Tweet, tweet, tweet
Twee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee twee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. Tweet, tweet!
Tweet, tweet, tweet
Twee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee twee-dee-dee-dee-dee, twa!
Tweet, tweet, tweet
Twee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee twee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. Tweet, tweet!
Tweet, tweet, tweet
Twee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee twee-dee-dee-dee-dee, twa!

All I have to A-S-K
What's the dope-man's E.T.A?

[Bridge]
All this funkin' around, you gon' catch a habit
Shouldn't be funkin' around, you gon' have to have it
Re-up, rehab, re-up
(Shit)
Re-up, rehab, re-up

Don't be about that dope
(Do a little bit) Do a little bit, then you gotta have it
(Hey man) Don't be about that dope
(ha ha ha) Don't be about that dope
(Need a little bit) Need a little bit, then you're gonna want it
More!
(Ya get some more of me)
Make him need it by now!
Make you need it by now!
(Oh, you gon' need it by now)
More than an urge, it's a habit

[Outro]
Now let's get this shit straight, bitch
There'll be a role reversal (sit on the couch)
And we'll see who is the habit, and who has the habit
I'm the want, you're the wantee (surprise!)
I don't want you, you want me
Now you and me might pick from the same tree
But we is not family
So it's gonna be a [?], but it damn sure ain't gon' be free
I'm you H-A-B-I-T (bitch!)
Bitch!

Oh, but if you've got a prescription, you can call me addiction
(shake it off as you cough)
