About Doin' It

"Doin It" is the second single from LL Cool J's sixth album, Mr. Smith, and was released on February 20, 1996 for Def Jam Recordings. Based on a sample of Grace Jones' "My Jamaican Guy", it also featured LeShaun (who previously released a song with the same sample and theme in 1988 titled "Wild Thang"), production from Rashad "Ringo" Smith and LL Cool J. In several interviews, both the artist and producer stated that the instrumental was originally meant for the Notorious B. I. G., to be used for a song and single on his Life After Death album, which was posthumously released."Doin It" was a success for LL Cool J, making it to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Billboard charts. On the B-side was the previous single, "Hey Lover". The remix featured on the soundtrack to The Nutty Professor samples the Art of Noise's "Moments in Love." The crowd noise played throughout the song, shouting "Go Brooklyn", is sampled from "Go Stetsa" by Stetsasonic. Keri Hilson sampled this song in her song "Do It" featuring Tank for her debut album In a Perfect World. more »

Uh he huh, remix that joint, word up

Uh he huh, yeah, no doubt, doin' it, yeah

Feeling is strong, uh doin' it
Yeah uh, yeah, it's me and Jimmy

I'm in the mood for something wild and obscene
I hear dat, I'm gettin' tired of the same ol' routine
I need some drama, oh, here I come L, tattoos and dim lights
Black young niggette want you's to get it right

Huh, that's all I need, we got two mouths to feed
You talkin' about some love to the six indeed, so uhh
Lay back and let'cha Daddy do it
A real mack stay on track, he got the run, right through it

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

I slowed it down 'cause we was amplifore
Halfway, all the way, now ya gettin'
Raw to the ****, sick wit' it
Ain't to proud to beg, boy, that's why I had to hit it, uhh

I'm in the zone gettin' bedrooms props
I'm talkin' outside scenarios, Ac's and parking lots
Word, you goin' there, can back seats and wild treats
Daddy do his thing, it's part of my mystique

I'm havin' visions on sunsets and waterfalls
Your hands are in the air, you're up against the wall
What you lookin' for? Point it out
Promise I'ma get it, send it to me, right away rule, wanna hit it

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

I need that new Benz, you in it, testin' my limits
Laid back, cut, now I twist some lyrics
Sharin' cream like it's love, I'm ready now
What you say when I put it on, you lovely girl

You can never hesitate to do your thang, true
Although you come from Queens, I'ma treat you like a king
Where you from? Brooklyn
Honey-coated, in front of genius, gettin' ****** in the 'lacs

Tell me why you never wanna see your ex again?
Hey Lover, you separate the Boyz from the Men, that's a fact
It's well known why you lick your lips
Yeah, blowin' bubbles in blup-blup-blup

You makin' me wonder if doin' it's everything it seems
You make me shiver, standing up in ya straight and then I lean
Tell me here, I love it when ya way up in my mix
Everything is butter in the 9-to-the-6

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn

Uh ha ha, oh man, why'nuhmean
Big Rochon, Baby Chris, LeShaun
Rock on, LL Season baby
