Do That There
Lyrics Born Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now he comes close gets crushed like clay packs
With unlimited flows never stay in the same spot
Everything in locks got a place to make rock
If you feel it in your heart reach out like grand fox

Baby hop on board, you don't need your payed stubs
in the galaxy bus we pullin out all stops
From the bay to LA just like the great pac
Big shout to my man cut chemist and J5

All my women in the spot thats makin the place pop
That branch from bass chocolate
Asia good cop, go in, state the obvious
Legs and tank tops
Y'all keep on truckin y'all doin a great job

For ain't no stage I won't take from playin cards
In the burgundy coats, snake boots and black socks
On the barbary coast playin host to ex wives
With the bubbly flowin cuff links and fake butts

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
When I do that damn thing
I do that damn thing
I do that damn thing
I do that there

Now I am award your fate heats
That's helped ya
one day at the altar mid general
called me in to headquarters, gave me an order
son I bestow the gift of rap on ya

fight for the cause but don't be a mortal
I'm your DJ on the steel wheel of fortune
Get me an art against lay before you show this to four more ways to change coats?

To guess the trouble is when he did what he did
Bless me with excellence with the bat and the pen

--------?
--------?

So if any ya young MC's
never passed the entry level position
I'm guessin eventually
Y'all thistle empty disappear gently
Like a whisper in the wind come messin with LB

[Chorus]

Whoa . . . . . . . . . . . . Cut Chemist

Whoa . . . . . . . . . .Bring it back now

Well abracadrabra I'll saddled up a camel
Travelled the Sahara and the avenues of Casablanca
ran into the back of a fama?
They snackin on the abba-zabba cabbage patch
A practising the macarena with who?

Santana, Santa, a panda, my gramma
Dracula, Aladdin and the delhi-lama
Berretta and a mannequin
and then I slipped on a banana landed on a hammock
In Havana sippin on a can of apple fanta

Bit by a piranha when I swam into an aness
On the back of a manta I paddled with a spatula
Back to atlanta where I had a
hamburger with hammers manager
Afterwards he handed me eleven lemons for

The Tropicana where I had a romantic encounter
With janet palmer, a tama for Selma and a calamity jane
Samantha vanity, Miss Japan, Canada
and panamarama in the back of a natura





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In "Do that There" by Lyrics Born featuring Cut Chemist, the lyrics touch upon various themes such as self-confidence, overcoming obstacles, and celebrating life's achievements. Lyrics Born encapsulates his unique lyrical style by using vivid imagery and wordplay to create a narrative that takes the listener on a journey. The first few lines of the song, "Now he comes close gets crushed like clay packs/With unlimited flows never stay in the same spot," illustrates how Lyrics Born is constantly moving forward with his music, never getting stagnant or complacent with his craft. He then goes on to encourage others to do the same by saying, "If you feel it in your heart reach out like grand fox/Baby hop on board, you don't need your pay stubs."


Lyrics Born also shows appreciation for other artists, expressing homage to Cut Chemist and J5 for their talents. He addresses women in the crowd, saying "All my women in the spot that's makin' the place pop," highlighting their importance in contributing to the success of the event. The chorus "When I do that damn thing/I do that damn thing/I do that damn thing/I do that there" emphasizes his confidence in his abilities and the importance of knowing one's own worth.


The later half of the song becomes more abstract as Lyrics Born tells a stream-of-consciousness story about a series of interesting encounters he has had around the world. The repeating lines of "Whoa . . . . . . . . . . . . Cut Chemist" and "Whoa . . . . . . . . . .Bring it back now" add to the feeling of improvisation and collaboration between the artists.

Ladies and fellas, I was hella bored
So I pedaled hella hard
To a seminar in Zanzibar
Ben & Jerry, tennis star, and Pat Benatar
Ridin' on my handlebars
That I had gaffled from a scrap metal yard
When it fell apart, I got a rental car
With Meadowlark Lemon's credit card
Double-parked on the boulevard in front of Cinnabon
Won a tug-of-war with a minotaur
Then I toured the far north on a Portuguese man-o-war
Santa Claus handed me a catalog
The envelope attached on it said that you can have it all
So I got an antelope from Manitoba
Salad bowl, a catapult, a can of soda, paddleboat, a camera phone
And also a Barry Manilow, autographed cantaloupe and every episode of "Solid Gold"
The antidote to Babylon and Amazon in an acid-washed camisole
Then her friend had tagged along, who looked dead on Apollonian

[Hook]
When I do that damn thing, I do that damn thing
I do that damn thing, I do that there (x2)

[Verse 2]
Here's the story folks
Totally stoned, I rode the slopes of Mount Holyoke
At 40 below, lo and behold
My homey poked too many holes in my snowmobile wheels
Now I'm rollin' on some Boboli's with spokes
Had to pony up the dough to get an old green and gold mobile home, stole an Oreo, a Polaroid, some saltines
An overcoat from Walgreens, some corduroys, some sardines, canola oil
All singin "row, row, row ya boat"
On and on, with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Shinobi and Kobe Bryant
Pokemon and Pinocchio on the Okeefenokee, Swamp
Europe, Portugal, Tokyo, Borneo and Coney Island
With the Horny Toad Memorial Orchestra with Barry White
Lyrics Born on rhymes, Maury Povich on viola, Berry Gordy on organ & Joe Torre on chimes
Don Corleone on accordion tomorrow morning
When re-recordin Jerome & Morris singin' "oh-wee-oh-wee-oh"

[Hook x 4]

Whoa...Einstein, do it

(Scratching & instrumentals)

Whoa!...Bring it back, now

[Verse 3]
I met a hermit named Kermit McDermott with a learner's permit
Curb swervin' in a purple Suburban, slurpin an orange sherbert
Eatin' a turnip with the words "Dirty Dirty" written in cursive on his Burberry turban
It was curtains
At the circus in Berkley, saw a turtle with a girdle, a squirrel with a curl
And the world's biggest girl, Pearl
Urkel swirled in a circle on a dirty-ass burgundy Murray bike
I had some curry rice, a turkey burger and some curly fries
Tried to return some worthless merchandise to Circuit City
Customer service was certifiably shitty
Courtesy clerk was nervous, kinda twitchy
Had a dry-and-curl perm, reminded me of Lionel Richie
Someone blurted out ("Burrrrrr!")
That's when I turned around, observed
Truck Turner had the burner out and pointed at a surfer
Mr. Furley burst out the beauty purlor in curlers
And a security jersey, thermos full of Wild Turkey
