| Down, down, down
|
| This is how we do it
|
| Motownphilly’s back again
|
| Join our little East Coast swing
|
| And since he’s goin' 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 goin' 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 vibin', they were gettin' 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 goin' oft
|
| (And since he’s goin' off)
|
| Not too hard, not too soft
|
| This is how we do it |
