    How We Do It

    by: Black Moon

    [Buckshot]
    Just give me two seconds of ya time, I'ma take ya shine
    If you got a bad bitch, this gon' make her mine
    Once she hear the LP, a/k/a the album
    By any means necessary, I will do a Malcolm
    On the God, fix, the thirty yard six
    Dominican Republic, never heard of y'all shit
    They dig me, cuz I did me, swiftly
    Hit trees with my overseas mc's, then breeze
    Them please, all of them niggaz is good for
    Is talkin', they love walkin' on knees
    I cock and squeeze when I shower many
    Show a little love, every now and them, if I was them
    Fuck my enemies, I smoke my little trees
    Show love to my seeds, and put my hours in
    But that was then, and this is right here, right now
    We can do it Apollo 10, listen up
    [Chorus: Buckshot]
    How we do it, they wanna know
    How the gods can flow, we bring the arsenal, they like
    How we do it, we keep it crackin'
    Ain't no slackin', we lovin' to make it happen, they like
    How they do it, ain't no question
    What we reppin', got them steppin, oh yea
    How they do it, anytime you really want the answer
    Call me and my mans up
    [Buckshot]
    First of all, let's cut through the chase
    And get right to the bottom line
    You know the face, nigga, now the rhyme
    Rap is not a crime, though I'm killin' 'em
    Fo'five millin' 'em, Dru, send the bill to them
    So I can let them know how I rock dog Pepsi
    And the sock, don't rep me on your block, dog
    I do it for the indies, the independents
    Who rhyme from the last penny, up until the last dime
    I don't play games at all
    I'm at the bottom where the flames engulf, brains come off
    Brave us off, it don't matter, when ya face up north,
    it's no laughter
    Everybody seen the joke after, choke half the
    The niggaz in ya frontline, or in ya back up
    One time, duke, you betta know who you dealin' with
    No card, this is God, you hard of hearin' shit?
    Listen up
    [Chorus]
    [Buckshot]
    Let it be known, Buck be ahead of the throne
    The only nigga that's ahead of his own, I stay on p
    Like they on me, when they all see
    That I'm all that, and they just jealous, and can't be
    Hopin' I fall again, but every time you pop off a pistol
    You call my name, (Buckshot)
    No need for amnesia, I need ta, spit a sick verse
    For you, set off your seizure
    Shake ya body and ya knees up
    Ease up, weeze up in this bitch
    Spark them trees up, you look like you need Buck
    Well he's up, in the crib, til you pay the kid
    Pull your fees up, please, me with a visa?
    He's a, black Ebenezer, hate all you scheezers
    Like me, I don't like you neither
    But your rap beats is soft, call Alicia Keys up
