letra de that's how we do it - us3
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
critics and cynics complain that it’s a fallacy
claiming rap music has a lack of musicality
but in reality none of the critics can rap
so they don’t know the facts but they’re always on the attack see
rhythm and poetry that’s what a rap is
it takes musicality, focus and practice
the rhythm is rapid like the notes of a jazz lick
or if it’s a triplet it slows down like traffic
you might point out that it lacks a melody
but rap can be melodic like ella or della reese
i don’t care about your musical pedigrees
‘cos i’m the half breed of a jazz funk legacy
you better be on point when you diss it
‘cos we know the critics of rap are all bigots
so dig it, this is how i kick it and it’s beautiful
don’t ever try to tell me that my rap isn’t musical
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
the same critics talking trash and dissing rap
listen to jazz, rhythm and blues and cl-ssical gas
maybe they never studied the past or just don’t mind
that jazz wasn’t considered a music at one time
they don’t want to admit that it might last
a very long time like jazz and it’s no fad
rap tracks continue to pack kiddies knapsacks
so listen to the sax sayin’ somethin’ and that’s that
now i can rap alone spontaneous like a saxophone solo
without a chaperon or a stack of poems
i’m deep like a baritone singing in catacombs
back in the days i used to freestyle for accolades
what other musical genre besides rap
crafts lyric gems just as rhythmic as hi-hats
what other music improvises up wisecracks
to make the crowd happily clap and why is that?
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
see i grew up in philly listening to the roots
and black thought taught me the rules of this rap sport
and now i’m hip-hoppin’ on planes taking it worldwide
to make the fellas clap and the beautiful girls sigh
and every now and then critics emerge
telling me rap’s not a music and i think it’s absurd
‘cos i transcribe the rhythms and i know that i’m right
and i show and prove my theory when i’m holding the mic
i know you might not respect what i do
but at least hear me out when i’m stepping to you
‘cos i’m not your average cat waving a gat
when i rap i freestyle while i’m taking a nap
making them clap to the music as i travel the globe
a representative with my pen
i give a sensitive consideration to my sentences that’s the concept
take it to the hook let me put it in context
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
that’s how it is, that’s how we do it
that’s why i love this hip hop music
