Motownphilly / This Is How We Do It

(album: One Shot - 2018)

Down, down, down
This is how we do it
Motownphilly's back again
Join our little East Coast swing
And since he's going off
Not too hard, not too soft

This is how we do it, all the hands are in the air
And wave them from here to there
If you're an O.G. mack or a wannabe player
See the hood's been good to me
Ever since I was a lower-case g
But now I'm a big G
The girls see I got the money
Hundred-dollar bills y'all

If you were from where I'm from you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64
Whatever it is, the party's underway
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we do it)
Join our little East Coast swing
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors you got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Not too hard, not too soft

The spotlight is on us now, watch us do this
(Da da, da da da, da da da da da da)
Live and direct your hometown
Rap and hype and we can get down
We are ready to roll
So now the world will know that we were

Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
(Could it really happen?) Or do dreams just fade away?
(Then we started singing and they said it sounded smooth)
So we started a group and here we are

This is how we do it
Motownphilly's back again
Join our little East Coast swing
And since he's going off
Not too hard, not too soft

Yo! Let's check it out!
Once upon a time in '96
Them boys started a group
To sing for food and chicks
They heard Montell, they thought they'd give it a try
These dirty choir boys thought they were pretty fly
Sorority girls said sing me a song
The brothers were vibing, they were getting it on
Started in Indiana, Hoosier land
Called it "Straight No Chaser", acapella, no band
This is how we do it

This is how we do it
Motownphilly's back again
(Started back in 1960 school)
Join our little East Coast swing
(This is how we do)
And since he's going oft
(And since he's going off)
Not too hard, not too soft
This is how we do it
