This is how it should be done

This is how it should be done, comin' out of the black shade
Fightin' to lighten a path made back
Let's go way back to the beginnin'
That's when an idea took part from the start
Listen to another Marley beat, I'm impatient
I gotta leave my seat for motivation
Pump the ba*s, what's next?

Kickin' the steps me and the mirror's havin' wreck
So hard that I cracked my neck
And I'm poppin' sweat, now I'm soakin' wet, but I feel it
Grab the beat, 'coz I must defeat it
It's a funky groove, so I steal it
To improve what could soon be the left eye move
Pin it down and snatch a sample to loop it up
And start makin' my own example 'coz

This is how it should be done
This is how it should be done, yeah, yeah
This is how it should be done

This is how it should be done
This style is identical to none

This is how it should be done steppin' into a shade a bit lighter
Now is the time to write a rhyme, a rhythmic type of memo
Tick-tack it to the track, it is now my demo okay
What's to do? Where's to go? Yo, I don't know
Who's to see? See ya at the local show
Me and Mo takin' a chance and he's dancin'
Round and round the deck as I flow

But what an awkward situation
'Cause there's not much crowd participation
For checkin' me out, I'm too new it
Got's to be somethin' else another way to do it
So I sit back and think for a minute
Which city needs a little more talent in it?
Maybe A T L. is the place packed up left Philly gotta hit Laface

This is how it should be done
This is how it should be done
This is how it should be done

This is how it should be done, hey
This is how it should be done
This is how it should be done

This is how it should be done
This style is identical to none

This is how it should be done and I'm comin' through
Grippin' the mic spittin' out what's after verse 2
And ready to rock the spot 'coz I'm on it
They wanna see what I got
Givin' it all and makin' it seem so simple to be myself
Along wit' doin' what I do
Cool they want me not knowin', I'm soon to be the "L" of T L C
Word up T B O Z that's T-Boz, saucin' it up is chilli

We three alike, all small in height but I'm left eye
'Cause the eye is right
So now they thinkin' well is we ready enough
Yeah it's time to get busy
The aftermath is the brightest path so far
Yo, 'coz here we are

This is how it should be done
This is how, this is how
This is how it should be done

This is how it should be done
This is how it should should be done
This is how it should be done
Should be done

This is how it should be done
This is how it should be done
