We Want Some Pussy by 2 Live Crew: An Explanation of the Lyrics

Today’s post is about “We Want Some Pussy” by the Miami-based rap group 2 Live Crew.  This song was released back in 1986 and is included on their debut album entitled “The 2 Live Crew is What We Are.”  This is also one of their better-known songs and is one of the songs that made the Miami Bass genre popular. There were a few more 2 Live Crew albums, but this one was from the first.

We Want Some Pussy by 2 Live Crew: What the song is about

It should be very obvious just by looking at the song title what this song is about; these guys in the band are cat lovers!  Even listening to song, it is so obvious:

Somebody say Hey! We want some pussy!

Somebody say Hey! We want some pussy!

Somebody say Hey! We want some pussy!

Somebody say Hey! We want some pussy!

I mean, they clearly state what they are looking for in the opening lines of the song.  They say it FOUR times.

When you really think of it, the 2 Live Crew members really are smart.  After all, everyone should want a cat.  They keep themselves clean.  They make excellent companions.  They even keep your house free of mice.  Who wouldn’t want that?  Cats in ancient Egypt were even worshiped as gods and goddesses and were mummified after death just as some humans were.  How awesome is that?  Many of their other songs talk about pussy as well so you know it has to be true.  You can rest assured when I tell you that they really ARE cat lovers!

We Want Some Pussy: Possible Alternate Lyrics Meanings

There is a very small chance that this song is about sex.  I honestly can’t see why some people might think that since the group has such a wide variety of songs that they sing about.  Topics of other 2 Live Crew songs include free speech (“Banned in the USA”), small business ownership (“The Fuck Shop”), athletics (“Throw the D”), classic rock music (their remake of “Do Wah Diddy Diddy”), and janitorial engineering (their “As Clean as they Wanna Be” album).
