What’Chu Like Lyrics

[Intro: Da Brat / (Tyrese)]
Oh, look out
Oh, uh, come on
What'chu like, a whole lot of, whut? (Tyrese, yeah)
What'chu like, me on a, whut? (What'cha like, what'cha like?)
What'chu like? (Can you tell me, baby?)
Why? How? All night long
(All night long, ah)

[Verse 1: Da Brat]
I like 'em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian with
Good conversation, plenty big faces
It's a must, I stay luxurious
Jewelry cut precision like I bust
Been winnin' since Funkdafied blew up
It's evident, shit, I can't be touched
Niggas say I'm too much, I trust it's true
Why lie? See for yourself when I slide through
Drive by, your bitch say don't look, you do
Shine so bright in the wet U2
You wish boo boo could ride with you tonight
Ain't nothin' in the world that Brat can't do
She attractive to them, him, her, and you, shit
Frostbit, December, Unrestricted
Drop dead, the cost is priceless
Due to the content, I suggest you'll like this
[Chorus: Tyrese]
What do you like?
A whole lot of foreplay
Right before you get it started
What do you like?
Me on top
You on the bottom, tight body
What do you like?
Somebody that can make you say
Wow, know how to all night long
All night long, tell me

[Verse 2: Da Brat]
Wassup? The setting, a hot-ass club
And you still be sweating me
I don't see nothin' wrong with givin' a little love
But nigga, just let me breathe
Damn, you cute as hell, so let's switch the digits
Then I got to leave
And you can buy me a couple of drinks
But I'ma go socialize and smoke my weed
And I like it when you keep your eyes on me
And I like it when you touch my privacy
And I like it, sex and ecstasy
When the belt buckle loosen up, undress me
Already juiced up, that come naturally
Wax on and off so romantically
No woman can slow dance or throw down like I can
Ask if you curious to know what I like, man
[Chorus: Tyrese]
What do you like?
A whole lot of foreplay
Right before you get it started
What do you like?
Me on top
You on the bottom, tight body
What do you like?
Somebody that can make you say
Wow, know how to all night long
All night long, tell me

[Verse 3: Da Brat]
(Let me tell you somethin')
Well, I start at the top of the list
With my pretty eyes, a cute nose and these fat-ass lips
My medallion sit in the middle of my tits
It's hit after hit, shit, sweet every sip
Down to the last drip drop, watch the hips rock
Color Me Badd, tick-tock, you don't stop
Till the thick thighs, dick rise when I skip by
I ain't surprised I'm what'chu like, nigga

[Chorus: Tyrese]
What do you like?
A whole lot of foreplay
Right before you get it started
What do you like?
Me on top
You on the bottom, tight body
What do you like?
Somebody that can make you say
Wow, know how to all night long
All night long, tell me
What do you like?
A whole lot of foreplay
Right before you get it started
What do you like?
Me on top
You on the bottom, tight body
What do you like?
Somebody that can make you say
Wow, know how to all night long
All night long, tell me

About

Genius Annotation

The second single off of Da Brat’s 2000 album Unrestricted, “What'Chu Like” is the verbal foreplay between her and R&B singer Tyrese, two sexually frustrated sharks circling each other in the club. before they get down to business, they practice strong sexual communication by asking each other what they prefer in bed beforehand. How sex-positive!

Peaking at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 on the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B Songs, “What'chu Like” samples the 1976 Claudja Barry song “Love for the Sake of Love”.

The same beat was used only months earlier by Montell Jordan in his 1999 #1 smash hit “Get It On Tonite”:

Both songs have a similar theme of pre-game innuendo, though Montell’s doing the dirty on the down-low so his wife doesn’t find out. The proximity of the timing fueled speculation Da Brat’s song was a gender-reversed answer song to “Tonite”, as these were popular at the time (see “No Scrubs” / “No Pidgeons”). That said, “What'Chu Like” was produced by Jermaine Dupri and features a male singer in the hook, so draw your own conclusions.
