Story Behind The Song
THIS JUST FOR THE STREET, I HAD TO SWITCH THE FLOW ON THERE BECAUSE THE BEAT IS VERY DOWN SOUTH ORIENTED AND I WANTED TO SHOW MY MY VERSATILITY. THAT I CAN RHYME ON ANY BEAT. IT'S RAW...IN ONE SONG YOU HAVE MY SKILLS, LYRICAL AND ARTISTICAL CAPABILITIES.
Song Description
BASICALLY THIS SONG IS TO EXPRESS THE WAY HE FEELS WHEN HE FLOWS AND MAKES MANY COMPARISONS, WORD PLAY, METHAPHORES, TO LET THE LISTENER INSIDE HIS WORLD. DON J IS SAYING: "JUST TO LET THE WORLD KNOW IF YOU DON'T ME I'M HERE TO INFORM YOU THIS IS ME AND MY MUSIC, THIS IS WHERE I'M FROM.
THAT'S HOW I FLOW"...AND VOILA YOU HAVE LYRICAL AND CATCHY SONG.

Lyrics
VERSE 1
GET ON STAGE FLOW LIKE SHOTS FROM A TWELVE GAGE
RED ALL OVER LIKE A TEACHER I CORRECT YOU'RE PAGE
NIGGAS FLOW BOOTY CALL 'EM FASSY HOLE
LIKE A VERGIN PUSSY HOLE MY FLOW IS TIGHT
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
BACK ON TRENTON BLOCKS
WILBER SECTION GUNS IS COCKED
THEY CARRY THE GLOCKS
TRENTON NORTH EAST WEST AND SOUTH
EVEN YO SHIT GET'S SCARED IT'S RUNNING OUT YO MOUTH
SO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT PATNA
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
LIKE THE EMERGENCE OF CRACK IN THE HOODS OF AMERICA
BACK WHEN THEY STARTED THE BLACK PANTERS
URGES FOR CARROTS AFTER FOUR HOURS LOOKING AT ME
I'M LIKE A TV LOSE YOUR SIGHT
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
GOT YOUR ATTENTION CAUSE I FLOW RECENT
YOUR FLOWS WAY BACK
YOUR SPIT IS A HOOPTY
MY SPIT IS THE MAYBACK
I STAY IN THE LIGHT YET THE FLOW STAY BLACK
CLASSIC LIKE OLD CADILACS YEAH
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
CHORUS
2X
UNHUH
SPIT IT FROM THE TOP OF MY LUNGS
OFF THE WALL HIT THE TARGET EVEN IF IT RICCOCHETS HEY
BLOCKS AND CORNERS DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT
I'M JUST HERE TO LET YA'LL KNOW THAT'S HOW I FLOW
VERSE 2
NO CRACK OR HEROIN BUT YES I HAD TRACKS ON MY ARMS
IN THE STREETS I HAD NO PAPER
SO I WROTE RAPS ON MY ARMS
AGE 19 CAUSE SAID I DID IT STUPIDLY
I LET MY MIND FREE AND THEN I DID IT FLUIDLY
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
WENT HARD AT IT KNOWING PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
EVERYDAY ON THE SIDEWALK UNTIL I CURVED IT
INTO A CORNER THE SPOT WHERE WE BUSS CYPHERS
PUFF PUFF PASS IT AROUND
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
RAN OUT OF BREATH POOR YEAH
BUT NEVER RAN OUT OF WEALTH
CAUSE WE WAS ON THE DOWNLOW
NEVER RAN OUT OF STEALTH
AT A DISTANCE FROM THE SYSTEM PEEP THE WEAKNESS
YOU DIDN'T KNOW LORD WAS MY WITNESS
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
I KEEP COMING BACK LIKE YOUNG BOYS THOUGHTS OF SEX
THE FLOW GOT ME SOME WHILE YOU JERK OFF ALL VEXED
I'M A MAGNUM CALIBER I NEED MAGNUM RUBBERS
GIRLS STRAP ME WITH THEY LIPS
THAT'S HOW I FLOW
CHORUS
2X
VERSE 3
IT'S ALL BAD WHEN I BE UP IN YO HOOD UP TO NO GOOD
HIT YOU LIKE ROY JUNIOR
TILL YO EYE GET'S BLACKER THEN SOYA SAUCE
NIGGA THAT'S HOW I GO THAT'S HOW I FLOW
PEEP MY M.O SEEL RAPS LIKE SELLING BLOW
LORD GUIDE ME LOOK MY SHADOW' TRYIN TO FIGHT ME
ELUDE S.T.D CARRYING HOES THEYWANNA RIDE ME
INNER DEAMONS I'M A BITCH WHEN I DEAL WITH 'EM
I GET 'EM OUT THE SAME WAY HOES TREAT SEMEN SWALLOW OR SPIT IT OUT
VAMPIRE MUTHAFUCKAS BETTER LEARN
CAN'T SEE ME I'M LIKE THE SUN YOU LOOK YOU BURN LISTEN
I'M SIMILAR TO A GUN THAT'S MY CURSE
A GUN SPITS HOT LEAD I SPITS HOT VERSES
FEEL THE BASS OF MY VOICE IN YO CHEST LIKE A BULLET
BLAW WOW DON'T GET JUMPY I JUST MOVE THE CROWD
LIKE I JUST LICK SHOTS THE SOUNDS IS LOUD
GOT A PIECE UP IN MY HANDSE WAVE THAT SHIT AROUND
CHORUS
2X
HOOK
4X
IF I DIDN'T WORK HARD I WOULDN'T BE NICE
I GOT MUSCLES I DONE STRUGGLED I DONE PAID THE PRICE
