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 bass 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]
