Like It Like That Lyrics

We was in the back of the joint, cooling out
And I saw this girl, asked her if she like it like that
Nod her head, yes, therefore I didn't stress
Let my beat keep knocking 'cause we rocking like that
Bust your ass slow, as if you didn't know
Put my mic inside your brain, don't diss, hold this
It's the rhyme, it's the beat, the vibe all together
That makes the competitors sound like this
Really do I care, yo, I let down my hair
When the music's up loud, man, I jones real bad
Lyric overload in club, in the boat
In Jeep, in America, Tribe goin' mad
Females vibe while my niggas just ride
With the songs we creating and musically relating
Sex, niggas talk by bodies in chalk
Meanwhile, they boot-shaking
On some punk shit, faking
Wait, I can't front, stick men
Here's a few who really come to do
What they say gon' do
Back at the ranch
There's no Carte Blanche
Everybody gon' move when we say move, so

Do you like it?
Say yeah if you like it like that (yeah)
Do you like it?
Hell yeah if you like it like that (hell yeah)
Do you like it?
Tell me if you like it like that (yeah)
Do you like it?
Verse two if you like it like that (come on)

Who could be the one
Rhyming ill, having fun
Blowing up, making musical memories and things?
Elevate your thoughts off the vibe that we brought
While we climbing, we shine like a Super Bowl ring
You can do it too
I mean hop like we do
Interlock like we do and make your own mark
It's deeper than the song
Hope you live your life long
When you win, how you start, kid, you gotta have heart
Niggas in my shit, move
Give a nigga room
Back it up, it's a grown man making on time (making on time)
Bust you down similar to Newport
Smoking ain't a new sport
Smoke you since they invented rhyme
Gotta spread love, no matter where you are
Where you at, where you went
'Cause nobody want beef
Fountain is good, just flows like a river
Just go with a nigga, kid, my stay ain't brief
Put your heart in the day, in the night, family, enemies
But yo, I really don't wet that
We was in the back of the joint, cooling out
And I saw this girl
Asked if her if she like it like that, yo

(You like it that, you like it like that)
(You like it that, you like it like that)
(You like it that, you like it like that)
(You like it that, you like it like that)

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up?
Gotta get outta here though, scram
