Montell (Jordan) understands.

... As Mr. Jordan states--in song:

Seeing as it's Friday night,
(T.G.I.F.)

"This is how we do it 
La ra ra ra ra ra... 

This is how we do it. 
It's Friday night, and I feel all right 
The party is here on the West side 
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up 
Designated driver take the keys to my truck 
Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded 
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo we made it!" 
It feels so good in my hood tonight 
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani 
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by 
You gotta get your groove on, before you go get paid 
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up 
And let me hear the party say            
1- I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because 
(This is how we do it) 
South Central does it like nobody does 
(This is how we do it) 
To all my neighbors you got much flavor 
(This is how we do it) 
Let's flip the track, bring the old school back 
(This is how we do it)      

This is how we do it, all hands are in the air 
And wave them from here to there 
If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be player 
You see the hood's been good to me 
Ever since I was a lower-case G 
But now I'm a big G. The girls see I got the money 
A hundred-dollar bills y'all 

If you were from where I'm from then you would know 
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck 
You can get yours in a '64 

Whatever it is, the party's underway 
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up 
And let me hear the party say 
(repeat 1...) 

I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because 
(This is how we do it) 
South Central does it like nobody does 
(This is how we do it) 
YNV, SCC, all my homies 
(This is how we do it) 
I'll never come wack on an old school track." 

Rap: 

"Check it out! 
Once upon a time in '94 
Montell made no money and life sure was slow 
All they said was 6'8" he stood 
And people thought the music that he made was good 
There lived a D.J. and Paul was his name 
He came up to Monty, this is what he said 
You and OG are gonna make some cash 
Sell a million records and we'll make in a dash."  

( ... "The West side" of the Atlantic")
( ... "The ROYAL 'We', the EDITORIAL ..."--'The Big Lebowski')

(So, this song translates:
PHYSICALLY, I'm making GREAT PROGRESS!





(Now, MY-version … entitled 'With TIME & WORK, I'll Dooo It':)

"So, of course, I'll DOOO it.  
La ra ra ra ra ra... 

So, of course I'll DO IT.
I hear dat 'weekend-BELL', & I'm doin' rather WELL.
Da walkin''s here in DAY-VEE.
My brain 'messages' my legs but no RIH-PLY.
My iron-WILL 'brushes my brain AH-SIDE'
And claims, 'Yo, I got DIS.'
Patients at my gym MARVEL, 'Look at DAT!'
It feels so good in my brain TUH-NIGHT.
The thoughts of my eventual WALKIN' & TALKIN'
Have 'triggered' me with HOPE.  So, I got-to THINKIN'.  
''I've gotta SHIFT through my HIPS, when I 'WALK'.''
That E-LIM-IH-NATES my hip-PAIN.

(CHORUS:)
I'm kinda SAD, & it's all bih-CAUSE
(Of course, I'll do it.) 
MY mind controls it like NOBODY DOES!
(Of course, I'll do it.) 

To ALL you 'HATUHS', you've got much DOUBT!
(Of course, I'll do it.) 
I shaN'T give-up & POUT!
(Of course, I'll do it.) 

Of course I'll do it--WALKING with my eyes UP in the AIR.
I'll casually-STROLL from here to there.
Since I've LONG-been athletic & 'wicked-SMAHT',
Combining the two's been QUITE the AHT!
Ever since I was 'just a lil' FAHT',
I've been MASTER-ful with NUMBUHS!
I need yo' 'DIGITS', LADIES!

If I could express my psychological-pain, I WOULD.
WHEN I can explain my intense-FRUSTRATIONS, 
ONLY then MIGHT y'all 'get ME'.

Regardless of nerves, recovery BEGINS!
So, be impressed & doN'T criti-CIZE!
Nevertheless, my rehab's under-WAY.
So, tip your cap but do NOT be-LITTLE!
I can 'READ' … your FACE!

(Repeat CHORUS)

Fellow-HOPERS & -BELIEVERS, 
(Of course, I'll do it.) 
My WILL & PRIDE woN'T let me QUIT!"

(RAP:)
"Yo, yo, YO!  Check it-OUT!
Once upon a time, back in '08,
I HAVE two black belts, but I love-to TEACH!
I sought-to show another great 'tech-NEEK'!
The students all-thanked me for being so GOOD!
I like-to combine jujitsu with WRESTLING.
In THAT-respect, my lessons are quite 'you-NEEK'.Y'all students are gonna GAIN some SKILLS,
Provided you doN'T 'run for the HILLS!"
