Lauryn Hill
Do You Like the Way
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Lauryn Hill]
Watch the master-plan, the pastures span
Through the streets, flipped the beat
Move the sheep like the shepherd
It's a new day, my crew stay forever striving
Give thanks 'cause we alive
And been through the gutter
Now we see the horizon
It's clear to me now
Used to be confused
Took a lot of years to see how (I can see clearly now)
Now, we movin' planets
Take the average mind and expand it
You take for granted
Like we're always gonna be disadvantaged
But soon come, it soon come
Yuh soon done
Yuhstart run, you stumble
We catch one
In the rhythm
Santana lick the guit's with precision
Not accidental, intentional
Conscious decision
To Zion, we're marching through with African Mayans
Conquering Babylon with the heart of a lion
Behold to watch yesterday
Come back around
And the walls of Jericho
Come a tumbling down
[Interlude: Cee-Lo Green]
Selah
La-la-la-la-la
Like the way you (La-la-la-la-la)
Oh, yeah (La-la-la)
It's going down (La-la-la)
Uh
[Guitar Solo: Carlos Santana]
[Verse 2: Cee-Lo Green]
Tell me how long has it been
Is everything, everything
Alright, my friend
You see, time is passing
People asking
How come none of this ain't lasting?
Money will, make people deal
Like they don't even have to feel
But oh, it ain't real, it ain't real
[Chorus: Cee-Lo Green]
Oh, do you like it the way
That it's going down
Yeah, like it the way
That it's going down
Ooh, Do you like it the way
[Bridge: Cee-Lo Green]
How long, how long will we wait
Yeah, to sit down and communicate
Everything is relative
If you want to get, then give
Can't we all just build and live
Can't we, can't we?
[Chorus]
Oh, do you like it the way
It's going down, it's going down, baby
Down, baby
Do you, baby
