lyrics

How They Do That
( Lu Olutosin, arr. Tyrone Jackson)
I GOT A LITTLE STORY
ABOUT A FINE YOUNG GENTLEMAN
HE HAD A BIG VISION,
ALWAYS SOMEWHERE TALKIN’ ‘BOUT EQUALITY
NO MATTER WHAT ALL THE HATER’S SAID (THE HATERS WOULDN’T QUIT IT)
THEY SAID YOU’RE BOUND TO END UP DEAD (IF YOU DON’T QUIT IT)
THEN HE WON THAT NO-BEL-PRIZE FOR PEACE & EQUALITY THE HATER’S DIDN’T DIG IT
THEY STILL WANTED HIM TO QUIT IT ( as he walked away they said)
HOW YOU DO THAT MAN
- HOW YOU DO THAT MAN
- HOW YOU DO THAT MAN
-HOW YOU DO THAT MAN
LET ME TELL YOU ‘BOUT A SISTER
SHE HAD A VISION OF EXCELLENCE
NEVER ACCEPTED SECOND BEST,-, SHE KNEW THAT SHE COULD STAND THE TEST
SHE WAS GOING TO BE AN ASTRONAUT
YOU KNOW THE HATERS DIDN’T DIG IT, THEY TRIED TO MAKE HER QUIT IT
SHE SAID NO-NO NOT TODAY MY VISION’S NOT FOR YOU TO TAKE
I GOT WORK TO DO (And the Haters Scratched their head and said)
HOW’D SHE DO THAT MAN
HOW’S SHE DO THAT MAN
HOW’D SHE DO THAT MAN
HOW’D SHE DO THAT MAN

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BROTHER
HE WORKED HARD ALL HIS
STRUGGLING STRAINING AND STRIFE FOR 8 KIDS AND A WIFE
NEVER HAD MUCH SCHOOLIN’
BUT THE HATERS DIDN’T DIG IT,
AND THEY TRIED TO MAKE HIM QUIT IT…….
HE SAID NO- NO-NO WAY, NOT TOMORROW OR ANY DAY
NOW GO SOMEWHERE AND PLAY (And the Haters Scratched Their Head and said)
HOW’D YOU DO THAT MAN
HOW’S YOU DO THAT MAN
HOW’D YOU DO THAT MAN
HOW’D YOU DO THAT MAN
SO LET THEM -- HATE ON -- WHILE YOU JUST -- KEEP ON DOIN’ WHAT --YOU KNOW
YOU NEED TO DO CRE-A-TOR MADE YOU - SO YOU JUST BE YOU AND HATE CAN’T KEEP YOU FROM DOING YOUR DO (X 2)
HOW’D THEY DO THAT MAN (X 4) !!!
