“The Fuck Shop” was the third single from 2 Live Crew’s massive album As Nasty As They Wanna Be. A cleaner version of the song titled “The Funk Shop” (found on As Clean As The Wanna Be) peaked at #14 on the US Rap Chart in the spring of 1990.

"I know a place just down there two streets
Baby, they'll ask you no questions and give you clean sheets!"

WELCOME TO THE FUCK SHOOOOP!
(gong noise)
[Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice]
There's only one place where we can go
Where the price is right just to fuck a hoe
It's always popular with the girls and the guys
Cause for all my money, it's the best buy
Ten dollars, two hours is the time of the stay
It's more than enough time to slay
Each room has a bed and also a sink
So you can wash your dick after fucking the pink
But be careful of the things that you use
Cause you can get arrested for sex abuse
So as you hit the door and the panties drop
A lot of suckin' and fuckin' at the Fuck Shop!
[Verse 2: Brother Marquis]
Please come inside, make yourself at home
I want to fuck, cause my dick's on bone
You little whore behind closed doors
You would drink my cum and nothing more
Now spread your wings open for the flight
Let me fill you up with something milky and white
Cause I'm hopin' to slay you, rough and painful
You innocent bitch, don't be shameful
Break out the ice cubes and the hot water
This is the second half and not the second quarter
I'll fuck you 'till you sleep; you'll sleep like a baby
And in your dreams, you'll say I'm crazy
In the Fuck Shop!
[Luke (squeaky voice)]
YOU'RE IN THE FUCK SHOP, BABEEEE!
I WANNA SEE YOU BLEED!!
[Outro: Luke]
In the Fuck Shop! That's where it's at!
In the Fuck Shop! The place to splack!
In the Fuck Shop! Where all the boys go!
In the Fuck Shop! Fuckin' all the hoes!
(gong noise)
[Luke]
THANK YOU FOR FUCKIN' AT THE FUCK SHO-O-O-OP!!

In Brian Coleman’s book Check the Technique: Liner Notes for Hip-Hop Junkies, 2 Live Crew members Luke and Mr. Mixx contextualize “The Fuck Shop”:
[Mr. Mixx] I went to school with white cats and I knew that Van Halen record by hanging out with them. Luke liked that Guns N' Roses guitar riff, so he...
