This Is What We Do
Dru Hill Lyrics

Yeah, baby, hey, yeah, yeah
Introduction to the song

And you know; said, you know
Reinforcing that the listener is already aware of what's being said

Said, you know; said, you know, babe, yeah
Further emphasizing that the listener already knows what's happening

So you say your ish is it
You claim that what you have is the best

And you say your ish is hot
You consider what you have to be very good

You want me to touch your spot
You want me to give you pleasure

'Cause that's how we do it
This is how we traditionally do things

Now I watch your earrings jingle
I notice your accessories moving

And I watch you work your middle
I observe you dance seductively

'Cause your handle bars ain't little
You have a good body shape

Makes me wanna... (Y'all ain't ready)
It makes me want to do something sexual (with the audience not being ready for it)

[Chorus x 2]
Repetition of the chorus

Said, East Side, where you at? Yo, what the deally?
Asking people from East side where they are and what's up

And to my ladies over West, can you feel me?
Asking women from West side if they can understand

Tell me, what the deal with the South?
Asking what's going on with people from South

And tell me Master P got it all figured out
Suggesting that Master P has everything under control

But if you say you with me, show you with me
If you claim to be with me, show me with your actions

You're so pretty, you stay shitty
You may be beautiful, but you always seem to be drunk or high

Ain't no shorty over forty chillin' in the VIP with me
No older woman would be in the VIP section with me

Damn right, game tight, 'cause that's how we do it tonight
Being very sure and confident because this is how we traditionally do things tonight

[Chorus x 2]
Repetition of the chorus

[Method Man]
Starting Method Man's verse

Yo, yo
Introducing himself

Who got the best body on the planet?
Asking who has the best physical appearance on earth

I take advantage, then skate like the kissin' bandit
I take what I need and leave quietly like a thief

Leave of hearts
Using a homophone for 'leave of hearts' i.e. 'thieves of hearts'

Got these shorties out after dark
I have women attracted to me after sunset

We're lady killers
We are good at seducing women

Then blow back apart, raw dealers
We then leave them, experts in sex

Tical! Dru Hiller, strange love, seven thirty
Combining his nickname Tical with Dru Hill, implying he's in love with them at 7:30 pm

I'm like Herbie with a Love Bug
Comparing himself to a character who has a charm that attracts women

Then skip town like a Casanova Brown Mrs.
Leave town like a famous seducer

You look delicious like a two piece with a biscuit
You look very appealing

What's goin' down?
What's happening?

In my mind, I'm rippin' your clothes
In my imagination, I'm undressing you

Playing with your feet, girl, suckin' your toes
Engaging in foot fetishism

Go 'round with the Ghetto Sarano', mellow
Hang around with urban people who are smooth and relaxed

Romeo, who like his women on the same level
Like a famous seducer who prefers women similar to him

Pay my bills that were due; all accounts settled
Settling all his financial obligations

Now I'm relaxing like Pa, now with Ma Kettle
Relaxing like an old couple

Baby laughing, earrings in both nipples
A baby is laughing while a woman has piercings in both nipples

Like Janet Jackson, busting out her latest fashion
Busting out of her clothing, like a famous singer once did

Or the smashin'
Good-looking, attractive

Honey, come on over here; I fuck feet cold
Inviting a lady over, offering to engage in foot fetishism without hesitation

Throw them panties over there, you won't need those
Throw away your underwear, since we won't be using them

You talk like sex
You sound seductive

You walk like sex
You walk in a seductive manner

Ya smell like sex
You have a scent that's suggestive of sex

Ya yell like sex
Your moans suggest sexual pleasure

And all ya want is Mr. Meth, hell of a man
All you desire is Method Man, who is very skilled in sex

That can sell an Eskimo a fan
Imagery to suggest that he can use words to sell anything to anyone

I come equipped for any spot that you want hit
I have the skills to satisfy any sexual desire you have

Or want licked; when my dick get the fuck outta here, ah, shit
When my penis is in the picture, it's going to be amazing

I start to think back on how I go hump
I remember how I used to have sex

In seven minutes to heaven at the age of eleven
Imagery to describe engaging in sexual activity as a child

Couldn't tell me nuthin' then, can't tell me nuthin' now
I thought I knew everything about sex then, and now I still do

Honey child, milkin' the cow, lovin' my style
Imagery to suggest sexual activity while enjoying my technique

This is what we do, kid - me and them Dru kids
This is what me and Dru Hill do, as a group or individually

Take 'em blind, crimpin' them crazy, even toothless
Engage in amazing sex with anyone, regardless of physical appearance

Lastly, if you know me, don't ask me
If you already know me, you don't need to ask who I am

Call me Method, Mr. Meth if ya nasty
Address me by my nickname, Method, or a more formal title if that's your preference

[Chorus x 2]
Repetition of the chorus

If I move it on the left, will it be hot to death?
Asking if moving in a certain direction will be sexually appealing

If I move it on the right, will you make it last all night? (Woody)
Asking if a different movement will result in sexual activity lasting until morning

If I move it up and down, will you make a freaky sound? Come on
Asking if a certain sexual position or movement will result in a sexual response

If I move it in and out, will it make you scream and shout?
Asking if sexual activity will result in screaming and other verbal responses

[Chorus x 2]
Repetition of the chorus
