We Do It Like This Lyrics
whatcha say
now look out
it's time to kick the basics
flowing and knowing it's in your faces
sounds good when we're trading up places
when we fuck it daily I see something that sails me
from here to infinity it nails me
to do the groove til the suckas improve
on these so called grooves
that just don't move
a million ways to fuck it up and one to get it right
to the best of modern man keep movin through the night
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
we work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
I just wind it up and let it go
I don't dis people, I dis ideas
and when I say dis I mean disagree
then we go to the studio and re-up
some new tunes and we make some new dubs
well that's where we grow the gems the pearls
take a trip to find there's another world
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
we work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
to hook up your drum beats with my fresh rhyme
to make the best use of our strings and things
all cylinders go motherfucker we ring
a battle against time to make use of your minds
to hook up your drum beats with my fresh rhyme
to make the best use of our strings and things
all cylinders go motherfucker we ring
for everyone to see it son, there it is
now we come what you see we be it no comparative
we can make up a word when just nothin else will fit
then we break it on down that's it
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
we work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
to hook up your drum beats with my fresh rhyme
to make the best use of our strings and things
all cylinders go motherfucker we ring
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
we work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
makin funky rhymes in a permanent bliss
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
we work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
it is a permanent bliss..everysince i first heard them my life changed for the better...in the words of Nick Hexum, "I love my damn life!"
Basically self-explanatory, its one of their many awesome egotistical songs on From Chaos about their band and unmatched sound, in which they brag abou their band. But its not that prefabricated shit you find in bands like Limpbizkit. These guys can actually back up their words with their mad skills, which come naturally. They have a hell of alot more talent than most of those shallow bands. this song is one of the many songs they made to talk about how much of a KICK ASS band they are, and how to make music the right way, by having fun, being original, and doing your best, not that angst bullshit radio rock like that lame ass (c)rap-rock Linkin Park. In the bridge it talks about racing against the clock as you record songs in the studio (A battle against time to make use of your minds...), yet still using your mind, and giving it all you've got to make kick ass music (to make the best use of our strings and things all cylinders go motherfucker we ring ). 311 knows how to make good music, and they "do it like this".
ugh, I wrote my lyric interpretations too long. Lyrically, 311 explains how they write songs and why they do it. Musically speaking, it's a funky rap/rock song.
