What We Do Lyrics by Upper West

West Side Stories

2012

[Chorus]
You can call us insane
Ask why we entered the game, so what?
Thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
Go ahead, call us crazy
That type of shit don't phase me
'Cause thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
[Verse 1]
When the stars are aligned then I come through
From the sky to the mic, check 1 2
Yeah J, just gimme the tempo, watch me explode
Diet coke and a mento
Yo, windows of insanity
Crazy like the Mardi Gras girls on the canopy
Can it be I'm loco for tryna make this happen?
Two dudes up on YouTube from the uppers of Manhattan
Keep on with the clapping, just happen to be the motto
Wanna get the planet rockin' on my Afrika Bambaataa
If you didn't know me, I just happen to be brought up
With the thought of makin' miracles, now lemme hit the lotto
Who said we were never gonna do it?
Mostly everybody up until they hear the music
Then they start to talk like, "Maybe there's a shot
Hey, keep it on the play, say, I like this song a lot"
Then they ask why I never mention weed
"Man the girls, liquor, money, Dougie that is what we need"
See, me, if I write about a life that isn't true
Then I'm bringing something different, hit up nothing we can do
When I write a song, and I'm in that moment
And the brain lights go on, and everything is frozen
I know I'm in my element, like stuck up in the zone and
Yo the melody is calling so I'm picking up the phone and
[Chorus]
You can call us insane
Ask why we entered the game, so what?
Thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
Go ahead, call us crazy
That type of shit don't phase me
'Cause thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
[Verse 2]
I heard it all, y'all just another frat rap
More dudes with tank tops and snapbacks
Say that, leave the image in the background
All that's left is the melody and rap sounds
Then what? Do we still not belong?
Just give up and stop makin' songs?
Damn, take this for example
West side kids on a Beirut sample
Tell me that you didn't wanna jump when that beat came in
Then you don't get my terms so lemme speak laymen
If we dressed in suits and ties
Would you then be satisfied?
See, you don't see life through my eyes
So lemme live, gettin' by on my own supply
Try and bring us down but we comin' up
'Cause when I got the question, you gon' run with this or what?
Told J, "Listen, gimme the permission
Together we can give 'em something absolutely different
Sure we'll be more than a one time thing
I think it's time that I shine through the songs I sing"
I'm feelin good in the life I'm in
I like the sound so I stay rhymin'
Damn, I can never get enough
Cu-cu-cu-'cause this is what I love
[Bridge]
You can call us insane
Ask why we entered the game
Tell us music's not our thing
We just wanna entertain
Say they'll never know our name
And we'll never know the fame
(Yeah, if you take away the image, then-then the music'll remain)
[Chorus]
Thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love
You-you can call us insane
Ask why we entered the game, so what?
Thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
Go ahead, call us crazy
That type of shit don't phase me
'Cause thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
Yeah, this is what we love to do
Woah, w-oah-oah, woah, w-oah-oah
'Cause thi-i-is is wha-a-at we love to do
