Artist/Band: TLC
Lyrics for Song: This Is How It Should Be Done
Lyrics for Album: Ooooooohhh... On The TLC Tip [1992]



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
