This is how we do
Katy Perry & RiFF RAFF Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, Riff Raff, Katy Perry, yeah we do it like that

Sipping on Rosé, Silverlake sun coming up all lazy
Slow cooking pancakes for my boy, still up, still fresh as a daisy
Playing ping pong all night long, everything's all neon and hazy
Chanel this, Chanel that, hell yeah, all my girls vintage Chanel baby

It's no big deal

It's no big deal
It's no big deal
This is no big deal

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do
This is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do
This is how we do

Big hoops, and maroon lips, my clique hoppin' in my Maseratti
Santa Barbara chic at the Super Rica, grabbing tacos, checking out hotties
Now we talking astrology, getting our nails did, all Japanese-y
Day drinking at the Wildcat, sucking real bad at Mariah Carey-oke

It's no big deal
It's no big deal
It's no big deal
This is no big deal

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do
This is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do
This is how we do
Rap game Ted Koppel in Versace boxers
I valeted the chopper on top of Red Lobster (RiFF RAFF)
Who's startin'? (Katy Perry) Who's parkin' the Aston Martin?
Caddy-cornered in Neiman Marcus
Moon roof, Grey Goose, Bentley Coupe doing Kung-Fu
Rap game Dr. Drew for example, I pull up in the Lambo (Damn)
Both hands glow, Roman candles
Uh, now I'm Larry Flint with a candy blimp
Champagne filled the sink and my drink is pink (Okay)
Now I'm overseas speaking Japanese (Japanese, Japanese)

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do
This is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do
This is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stunting, yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do

Wait, no, no, no, no bring the beat back
(Bring it back)
That's right
(This is how we do)
Oh, oh

(This is how we do)
Oh, oh
