How It's Done

Spending hour after hour on my phone
Looking up countless words on Rhyme Zone
Sleeping with my notebook every night
Like Rocky Balboa when he's training for the fight
It's the eye of the tiger, hearts on fire
Stir crazy as Wilder and Pryor
Raisin' the bar, the best bar none
Never outdone, I'm the chosen one
Solid as concrete, in sync with the backbeat
Lappin' suckers like I'm at a damn track meet
It's an all-you-can-eat buffet
A feast for your ears, here's the entree
Grade A and in my prime
Like Cyndi Lauper, time after time
These skills pay bills
Yo, I'll be right back, I need a refill

If you're going to do it, you got to do it right
This is how it's done
We're going to rock on through the night
And it's only just begun
Oh yeah, alright
There ain't no end in sight
This is how you do it
If you really want to know just how it's done

Just like that, right back in your face
Makin' happy little accidents all over the place
Sharply dressed and mighty blessed
You want to put me to the test, then be my guest
And I'll demonstrate how to rock it right
Articulating to the early light
And I'll be going off like an alarm clock
Too legit and representing like Matlock
Only God can judge me
I'm intangible, man, you just can't touch me
I keep climbing, no plateau
I take it to another level like I was a Nintendo
Got game, it's lyrical Tetris
I'm juggling words, so ambidextrous
In the zodiac right after Taurus
Yeah, I think it's time for the chorus

If you're going to do it, you got to do it right
This is how it's done
We're going to rock on through the night
And it's only just begun
Oh yeah, alright
There ain't no end in sight
This is how you do it
If you really want to know just how it's done

Music and me, nothing comes between us
This is me pledging allegiance
Havin' the time of my life like Patrick Swayze
Walkin' after midnight, still crazy after all these years
It don't stop, it don't quit
I think I want to be president
Got a masterplan to unite nations
Tear down walls and build radio stations
No Democratic or Republican Parties
I just want to have a party
Going to get it together and connect the dots
Like Anita Baker, giving you the best I got
I know my role, I'm playing the part
And I'll be right here waiting like Richard Marx
If it don't mean nothing, then it must be something
And this is how you get the thing done, check it

If you're going to do it, you got to do it right
This is how it's done
We're going to rock on through the night
And it's only just begun
Oh yeah, alright
There ain't no end in sight
This is how you do it
If you really want to know
Yeah, if you really want to know
Oh
You want to know, you want to know
Baby bubba, this is how it's done
