ILL HARMONICS - What We Do lyrics

[Chorus:]

we rock up, we get down, we move left, we so right

we nod heads, we shake hips, we take hiphop music to the height of the night

we rock up, we get down, we move left, we so right

we nod heads, we shake hips, cause that's what we do, that's what we do

[Verse 1:]

It's the one and only lonely superstar filling up my stupid car

With some petro looking retro

While I check a burner on the metro, tighten up the Velcro

On my waisteband cause the man likes them up

And tighty fitted with stripes knitted on the arguile socks

That I rocks to fit in

To the corporate life cause it's important wifey must eat

And she ain't getting fed off of beats or ill rhymes

I climbs the ladder never been sadder man this ain't my occupation

So frustration sets in

I'm holding my grin just defending hip-hop

Whether it's clipped on or slip knot in my tie

Wondering why at work playing a jerk

My network got me going berserk

With shirt tails tucked in I've been sucked in

Where every emcee goes through cause that's what we do

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

That's what we do you ask who are you?

well I be blake knight and I practice hip-hop

I arrive non-stop wearin' shorts and flip-flops

while emcees put thongs in theirs songs and get the gong

I speak life on the mic til your bones be uprockin'

I got flocks of cool cats that's knockin' on my door

wantin' more beats than I can make assembly line style

takin' awhile but each with distinctive personality

for every emcee who's hirin' me to make hits

or farewell songs for callin' it quits

its the pits, but I figure if god is usin' me

why should I run from the call of the yes, yes, y'all

so as we breakdown the uprok sound and get down

billy blanco and me commence to emcee

I'd decide to go platinum but that'd be too drastic

so at the present time i'll be content with plastic

[Chorus]
