LYRICS:
Chorus:
And thats how we do it now
Never trippin up somehow
Never let them get the best of you, so just play it true
And thats how we do it now
Never losing it some how
So just go ahead and play your tune and thats how we do
Verse 1:
When it comes to the letters, nobody who does it better
I did it since I was younger, my hungers only developed
but finally feeling fed up, and burned out
all I see is Frost on this road less traveled it turns out
the other way, maybe would've been more wise
least i would've made dough as I cooked them fries, uh,
but couldn't look them eyes in the mirror
bigger vision for my work and times
see my work defines, who I am, my spirit
you can see it interwoven in rhymes in my lyrics
at times they don't get it, telling me to quit it, forget it,
I grow wild if you don't get out of my business
wanna bring it, then I brought it
do not get me started
find me in the back, cognac, with my cigar lit
I see them look with they face confused
why don't you run and tell the maestro to play my tunes.
Chorus:
And thats how we do it now
Never trippin up somehow
Never let them get the best of you, so just play it true
And thats how we do it now
Never losing it somehow
So just go ahead and play your tune and thats how we do
Verse 2:
Its no sweat, stay calm, never shaken
if you thinking I'm a fail you are sadly mistaken
I'm a... cool, sit back back by the pool, laid back type of fellow
bottle of modello, model by my side...never settle,
peddle to the metal on the throttle of my ride
I'm a lost angel, just had to put it on the table
to live and die, thug life above the navel
unable to see my name on these street of lights
only time I see my dreams when I sleep at night
but I continue on, this in only for the strong
steady as a mountain in the middle of a storm
I stand ground, while they tear the whole place down
speak my peace on drum beats and bass sounds
til the cycle complete. use my tongue as my gun, and my knife as my teeth.
Chorus:
And thats how we do it now
Never trippin up somehow
Never let them get the best of you, so just play it true
And thats how we do it now
Never losing it somehow
So just go ahead and play your tune and thats how we do (X2)
Thats how we do...
