Play at maximum volume
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Brothers are killin' and dealin' and big-wheelin'
And to a younger mind, that stuff is appealin'
So what do they do? They gather up a crew
Go out and steal and rob instead of gettin' a job
Now, your mother tried to bring you up better than that
The same way she loved you, you loved her right back
But now you think you're grown and you argue a lot
Over money you got from dealin' stuff on the block
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Now, you're not the only one in the world that has problems
Keep your head straight and you can surely solve 'em
Be a fly guy and reach sky high
And like Jefferson, you'll get a piece of the pie
I hope you take heed to the message I brought
In other words, the lesson I taught
The rhetoric of living, but I won't sin
And the FBI crew wants you
And you and you to do the right thing
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Now, in my opinion, it needs someone to teach
The whole world is actin' like a giant Howard Beach
I asked my man Bigga what he used to do for fun
He said he learned to shoot a gun before the age of 21
Crime and abortion, all kinds of mind distortion
This is very important, but just a little caution
Of what you can do, here's a clue and it's true
Yo, throw on a brand new sweater, make your life better
And do the right thing
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Not talkin' about a black or white thing
'Cause that would cause conflict and make this illegit'
But your definition of legit and illegitimate
Is confusing now the redheaded one is sent
To make things clearer, 'cause in about a year or two
What you do is take a look up in the mirror
And what you see is the image of hate
That you shed upon the others, sisters and your brothers
And your brothers, and your brothers
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way
That's the way
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
