The Way We Do Thangs

(album: So Dark The Con Of Man - 2007)

I see more than a little seen the lows and the middle and the top
You see I been to my wrongs been shooting the long shots and they didn't give me what I got
But now that I'm a little bit older, got a little bit colder, got a little to my name
so I gotta move on and make this work and I steady gotta better my ways

Excuse me, I constantly step over the line like there's a lot more there to see
A little cocktail drink and champagne wine and then I'm acting unorderly
and it doesn't even seem to matter how much I try still end up in the same places
and I wake in a haze and I turn around and I see this strange face cuz

[Chorus:]
The way we do thangs
is a little bit unorthodox
The way we do thangs
make your motherfucking jaws drop
The way we do thangs
is a little bit unorthodox
you see cuz The way we do thangs
make motherfucker call the cops

cuz we always in the mix of things, got shit to say cuz you piss me off
But y'all I'm trying to be a peaceful man doing decent thangs cuz I need to be somebody

I'm trying hard, you know, I'm trying harder
I'm trying hard, you know, to be the shepherd
I'm trying hard, you know, I'm trying harder
I'm trying hard, you know, to be the shepherd

Oh, what a cold day in hell that it'll be
when my tendencies get rid of stupidity
and the unstability really gets me jittery
dealing with business and politically
incorrect methods of madness, man
I just concentrate on what matters, man
and they all look and say that man's demented
cuz the way I go about it is a tad eccentric

I'm that little kid always chasing the love and never thinking about who it'll be
I never check that first when I hit that skirt to the rhythm of the boogie to be
My mama told me, check where your heart is at,
you see the hitter come running when the hard is back
you ain't a kid no more, better conjure sack [?] like you know someone told my mom

[Chorus]

We go against the grain, we don't obey the rules, we've got our own M.O.
The way we playin the game is how we do the do when y'all don't know
We cannot fuck around we gotta calm our nerves
Buckle down to move around the world
[x2]

[Chorus]
