TLC - This Is How It Should Be Done lyrics

This is how is 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** what's next Kckin' 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 feeeel it Grab the beat cause I must Defeat it's a funky groove So I steeeel 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 cause [Chorus:] 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-kay What's to da 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 Gots 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 [Chorus] This is how it should be done (hey) 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 cause 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 TLC 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 cause here we are This is how it should be done This is how, this is how [Chorus]
