This Is How It Sounds - Skee-Lo

Yeah, this is not the diddy cause the diddy’s dum, dum

Now I’m checkin' out the sounds of the phat jazz drum

The horns and the samples with the bass and the boom

When added all together, it’s a phat jazz tune

Listen, examine this carefully, you can even dance to the beat

Or chill and have a seat, or choke of the smoke of a cactus tree

As I’m steady pumpin' sounds out my NBC

With the natural ability to make you wanna get down

And maybe slap five to everyone around

So pass me a drink, stop and let me think

About the sounds of the street — The Funkadella Beat

So go and get your friends and strap yourselves in

For the journey’s of your life, the saga now begins

3, 2, 1, contact, we have lift off, right?

So I’m about to take flight, and this is how it sounds

I freak the funk on the microphone, check it, baby, 1, 2

Cause I got the skills and I thought that maybe you knew

That I can be chilled and have a good time

So when you see me, make sure you throw up your peace signs

Recline, let your mind be free

Till the break of dawn, at a club I’ll be

So you know to put your dirty hands up in the air

And wave 'em side to side like you just don’t care, yeah

Sister’s in the back with the afros

And the brothers in the corner with the jerboas

And if you haters start trouble, you know where to go

And now you’re tuned in to the sounds of the Skee-Lo

I take the stage and your aid to another fella emcee

Produce tracks is not wack, with sounds from my MP

3, 2, 1, contact, we have lift off, right?

And so I’m about to take flight, and this is how it sounds

Beats they be infinite and phatter than the pork

The sounds can be heard from Cali to New York

Forget about your troubles, forget about your blues

Cause jazz is alive, so go and spread the news

And once the news is heard, then others can relate

Maybe find the phattest samples from the back of the crates

So chill, cool with the breeze, microphone check, one, two, to the three

Break down doors, dance on floors, and have your fun

Cause the party doesn’t stop till the morning comes

Yeah, now I can feel the beats, so I’ma kick back for a second

Have a seat, yo, and this is how it sounds

This is how it sounds

Yeah, this is how it sounds
