Story Behind the Song
I (Scott) came up with the hook idea after our trumpet player Willie said to Heather - "that does a lil' sumphin sumphin for a brutha". We all laughed and then it turned into this hook. Daddy C had this smooth R&B beat already put together that he wrote months ago and the two just fit together like they were made for each other. When we finished it up with the live instruments, it went straight crunk!
Lyrics
SUMPHIN SUMPHIN FO YA !
Copyright 2000 Scott White and James Moore
I GOT A LIL SUMPHIN SUMPHIN FO YA
THINK U BETTER PEEP GAME BEFORE YA
MESS AROUND & LOSE THE ONLY ONE YA
KNOWLL ALWAYS BE DOWN 4 YA
PLAYA! I SEE YOURE AT THE CLUB AGAIN THIS WEEK
WALKIN, FLOSSIN, ACTING LIKE A SUPER FREAK
U WAS MACKIN SO HARD, U ALMOST DIDNT SPEAK
AND CANT NOBODY ACCUSE U OF BEING CHEAP
SPENDING MONEY LIKE ITS FLOWIN FROM THE KITCHEN SANK
YOURE FULL OF THAT DRANK, & YOUR BREATH STANK
SO FIRST, ILL BREAK U OFF A COUPLE OF TIC TACS
THEN TAKE TIME 2 KICK 2 U SOME STRAIGHT FACTS
I RAN INTO YOUR GIRL JUST YESTERDAY
SHE SEEMED UPSET, & SHE TALKED ABOUT THE WAY
THAT YALL ALWAYS ARGUE, FUSS & FIGHT
AND THAT U RUN OFF & LEAVE HER ALONE AT NIGHT
YOUR GIRL IS LONELY, NOW I AINT TRYIN TO GET IN YOUR BUSINESS
IF U NEGLECT YOUR GIRL, SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT GIT IT
NOW U KNOW SHE CARES 4 U, SO WHY U WANNA ROAM
WHEN ERRETHANG U LOOKIN 4 IS RIGHT AT HOME
SHE GOT A LIL SUMPHIN SUMPHIN FO YA.
HEY, GIRL! WHATS POPPIN? NOTHIN
HAVENT SEEN U SINCE I HOOKED U UP WITH MY COUSIN
SAID YOU WANTED A MAN WHO WOULD TREAT U RIGHT
WOULDNT START NO FIGHTS, OR CREEP AT NIGHT
AND I KNOW THAT HES GOT YOUR BACK
HE CUTS 4 YOU DEEP, GIRL.. CAUSE HE TOLD ME THAT
SAID HED SPEND HIS VERY LAST DIME ON YOU
BUT HE WOULD LIKE TO SPEND MORE QUALITY TIME WITH YOU
BY THE WAY, WHERE IS MY COUSIN? WORKING HARD
OH. I SEE YOU HAVE HIS CREDIT CARDS
AND THAT SECURITY GUARD WAS RUSHING U 2 THAT DOOR KINDA QUICKLY
SO LISTEN 2 ME
MONEY & MATERIAL THINGS, THATS PHAT!
BUT HES GOT A LIL MORE 2 OFFER THAN JUST THAT
AINT NO OTHER MAN THATLL TREAT U LIKE THE QUEEN
AND LET U RULE OVER ERRETHANG! REMEMBER THAT!
HE GOT A LIL SUMPHIN SUMPHIN 4 YA.
A LIL SUMPHIN, SUMPHIN 4 YA
IF YOUR GIRL GOT SUMPHIN 2 SAY
LET HER SAY IT, PLEASE DONT NEGLECT YOUR MATE
A LI SUMPHIN, SUMPHIN 4 YA
THE LOVE U WERE LOOKIN 4
ITS RIGHT THERE, U DONT HAVE 2 LOOK NO MORE
THE BIRTH OF YOUR SON, MAN, EVERYTHING CHANGED
LIFES NOT THE SAME, PRIORITIES REARRANGED
SAID YOU HOLD HIM IN YOUR ARMS & NEVER LET HIM GO
.THAT WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME U SEEN YOUR SON? NO, HE AINT MAD
HE JUST WANTS TO HEAR FROM HIS DAD
AND LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE STILL LOVES YOU
SO WHAT U GONNA DO?
