Do It

From Manifest Destiny2004

Lyrics

Do It

[ Mos Def ]

I know the Brooklyn crews like to do it

I know the Uptown crews like to do it

Yo, still the Boogie Down crews like to do it

The big U gotta step up...

[ VERSE 1: Ces ]

It's the Brakalak bounce no doubt

Critical Mass be in the lab makin the bass push out

Perimeters and borders, come and test the waters

I'm regal, plus I 'speak no evil' like Wayne Shorter

Loud and clear to make the hometown cheer

I freak it for my peers and those with ears to hear

Style bring style from around the aisle

Nice with the verse so I keeps the fat purse

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Sometimes I get these ill energy spurts

I put em inside my lines and I make the shit work

Cause I got it like that, okay black?

Flexin on my stack, son, get off the crack

Your crew get stalled if they ain't on the ball

With the 1-1-2, yes yes y'all

A-yes yes y'all and you don't stop

A-yes yes y'all and you don't stop

A-yes yes y'all and you don't stop

I said you do it, do it, do it

[ VERSE 2: Mos Def ]

Now I'ma take it right back to the place

Crazy snare claps with the humming bass

I keep a steady pace cause nowaday heads be hyper

Be actin all wild like they name was Rowdy Piper

Turn it off, man, cause it straight up earsore

Your style ain't really raw, so why you yellin?

Just another case of infinite rage

It only makes me more determined to come correct

So hell yeah, come and swing the vibe over here

And Mr. Mos rock you all out the atmosphere

Get on the illset agenda of the paragraph blender

The steel pencil blender of the hard and tender

Remember, back in the day you gave me no play

But that's okay, I'm maintainin anyway

And just bangin out cuts, bangin out cuts

Servin up the stew to make your nana wanna cuss

Comin out the deck with the grand royal flush

Ain't in a rush, there's no need to fuss

I keep my flow slow like a 26 bus

And leave a chump crushed when I excercise the vocal thrust

So (shush) from dust to dawn shit'll be on

Me and my pad and pen have seen nuff early morn

I work to seperate the grain from the chaff

Treadin on a narrow path by many told don't last

But I keep on and, I keep on and

I said the show ain't done, so where you goin?

I let the war and peace wind blow and

And when the ( ? ) vibrates you will know when

And us brothers need to learn to ( ? )

Ah-keep on and, ah-keep on and

Ah-keep on and

Son, you you better do it, do it, do it

Come on

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(East New York)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(Come on)

[ VERSE 3: DCQ ]

I can't deal with others, so I stick to myself

Word is bond, I can't trust nobody else

Cause it's a lotta devils and a lot that's been mislead

And I'm about to wake you with a smack to the head

So go ahead and take me for a joke if you want

Got the side, middle, back, front sewn

(So leave the nonsense home

Before you end up leavin with a swollen dome

It's Mister M-o-s D-- on the microphone

And the ( ? ) yo, check the vocal tone)

I'm rockin shit for the young and old

Rollin down, creepin down hard and slow

So chumps best advise to act like they know

I'm gettin mad heated and I just might blow

(Yo chill baby, chill, just slow your roll

It's time to be a man and excercise control)

True, so I'ma just relax

Despite the fact that punks deserve a smack

It's the 21st, it's like this, it's like that

Nowadays shit be like mind over gat

If you're havin problems, just step to it

Don't talk about solvin matters, come on now...

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(Come on)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(And out in Philly)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(In Atlanta)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(In DC)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(In Virginia)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(In Carolina)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(And out west)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(In Miami)

Do it

I said you do it, do it, do it

(Puerto Rico)
