Schoolyard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Me and Ace picked Carrie up from school one day
We took her for a ride in Ace's car, the music started to play
We sat real close, both nervous
Lookin' at each other not knowin' what to say

[Verse 3]
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!"

[Hook]
The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard

[Interlude]
With a wink and a nod we were off to Ace's pod
Like peas who's hangin' for a knife

[Hook]
The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard

[Interlude]
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)

[Verse 4]
Ace's girl showed up, that's when the party started jumpin'
Tower Of Power's "Squib Cakes" steady humpin'
I said "Carrie, hmm, do you wanna dance?"
She said "Uh hmm, 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"

[Spoken Interlude]
Yeah, before I knew it, Carrie was seein' double
That's when me and her got into trouble
So much for the dance
I started takin' off Carrie's pants

[Hook]
The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard

(Hey hey.. hey!)

[Verse 5]
And now boys and girls for the graphic part
Close your ears if you ain't got a nasty heart
(The schoolyard, the 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

[Hook]
The schoolyard, the schoolyard

[Interlude]
When your schoolyard baby comes home
And it's all that's on their mind
Try to remember how you felt your very first time, oh!

[Hook]
The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard (Gettin' it on)

[Bridge]
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 (Gettin' it on, oh)
(Well, gettin' it on.. heh, heh)

[Hook]
The schoolyard (Schoolyard), the schoolyard (Schoolyard)
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard (Boy, you're gettin', yeah)
The schoolyard, the schoolyard (Schoolyard)
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard (Gettin' it on, get.. get.. gettin' it on, yeah)
(Hey!)
