Branford Marsalis - Doin' It (My Way) lyrics

[Verse 1: Ricky DaCosta] Let me enhance your mind with a Brand-new design Raps attacks tracks with the drums And ba** lines Can't define why my rhyme inter- Twines with heavy guitar strikes That bust out street lights My flight starts from dusk to dawn Can't label what I'm doin', no lines were drawn My mind's on a whole new level of change Some consider it a blessing, some say that it's strange Rearranged when I'm doin' and it just ain't fly Can't be God no matter how hard you try Like Dr. Maya Angelou when I rise I'm bound to gain credit like the Nobel Peace Prize No lies, those who chose to stay froze Are trapped in this madcap world to make bankrolls So, I'm gonna let my flow set the trend And fall deep within and let it begin, Doin' it my way [Hook: Ricky DaCosta] Doin' it, Doin' it my way (Doin' it my way, doin' it my way, doin' it my way) x3 [Verse 2: Ricky DaCosta] Grab your tape deck cause I'm not ready to break yet Musical birth is worth more than a paycheck From night to day set getting my pace set To run rhymes over the track like a race set Fuel injection to rock every section Buckshot Lefonque is like a French connection My reflection on this track is affection For those who love music with no exception This selection is in the right direction A top choice collection of sound perfection Full protection over my complexion But this conception, like a music erection Flexin' a political correction Buckshot for President the next election Parlay I don't really care what the critics say This session I'm doin' it my way, no questions [Hook: Ricky DaCosta] Doin' it, Doin' it my way (Doin' it my way, doin' it my way, doin' it my way) x3 [Interlude] My way has not been easy A warrior born some 2,000 seasons young My way has led me in all directions To all fronts in space and time My way is infinite and elusive Now if you'll excuse me I must be on my way [Verse 3: Ricky DaCosta] Last but not least I'm spitting the third verse like venom I can in them To make it tough like Denim Ready to bend 'em Go to the top then pin 'em Break them apart Then start from the beginnin' Made for winnin' It's time to start spinnin' So I can be a musical Don like John Lennon So let's send 'em And let the world know what's phat Can't rent 'em, the critics ain't going for that, Doin' it my way [Hook: Ricky DaCosta] Doin' it, Doin' it my way (Doin' it my way, doin' it my way, doin' it my way) x4 My way...
