Lyrics
Intro (4 Bars)
(A clean, deep 808 bass loop plays alone for two bars. A synthetic hydraulic hiss is heard, followed by a tight, delayed record scratch.)
Hype Man (Low, Echoed): "Geah... You are now entering the 905 zone. (Zone!) We keep it live... Steel City! Check the flow, one time!"
Verse 1 (8 Bars - REWRITTEN)
(The full, heavy G-Funk bassline drops. MC's delivery is smooth and confident.)
MC: Yo, check the clock, it's that famous Saturday night Gotta hit the scene, yeah, the energy is right This is how we do in the 905, you understand? We hold it down proper, we the realest in the land Representing the city, that's H-Town, we keep it live Gotta watch the streets, only the real ones survive I'm steady on the grind, focused on my motherfucking chips Yeah, we keep it real, man, right here from the lips
Pre-Chorus (4 Bars)
(Drums become busier; high-hat loop is added to build energy. Bass drops out briefly for tension, replaced by a smooth synth riser effect.)
MC (Building intensity): Yo, keep my mind on my motherfucking chips I'm keeping it real, I'm trying not to slip To my real thugs, I know y'all done feel me 905 shout out, if y'all really hear me...
Chorus (Hook) (4 Bars)
(The signature hit section. Full bass, the wobbly synth melody is loud and prominent.)
MC (POWERFUL, Double-Tracked): This is how we do, this is how we do, we keep it live This is how we roll, we keep it real 905 This is how we do, steel city This is how we roll
Verse 2 (8 Bars)
(Synth lead drops out; the beat locks back onto the heavy bass and drums.)
MC: Yeah, I gotta bring this motherfucking thug shit back 'Cause these other rappers mad, they off track These busters on the beat now, with they damn gun But that ain't the mission, man, till the work is done Skis away while I blaze some of this mother fucking Mary Jane Keep my cool, keep my focus, maintain This is how we do, this is how we roll Yeah, keep it steady for the whole 9-O-Five
Pre-Chorus (4 Bars)
(Building tension again before the biggest drop.)
MC (Building intensity): Yo, keep my mind on my motherfucking chips I'm keeping it real, I'm trying not to slip To my real thugs, I know y'all done feel me 905 shout out, if y'all really hear me...
Chorus (Hook) (4 Bars)
(Second time around. The biggest, most impactful drop.)
MC (POWERFUL, Double-Tracked): This is how we do, this is how we do, we keep it live This is how we roll, we keep it real 905 This is how we do, steel city This is how we roll
Bridge / Break (4 Bars)
(The drums cut to a half-time feel. Only a slow, thick 808 kick and a filtered, floating vocoder vocal pad play.)
MC (Filtered/Vocoded Effect): "Yeah... just keeping it smooth, gotta stay true (true)... We keep it live, every day, every night... 905... You know the code... This is how we do... yeah..."
Chorus (Outro Repetition) (4 Bars)
(Full energy returns for a final blast of the hook, fading out on the final two bars.)
MC (LOUD): This is how we do, this is how we do, we keep it live This is how we roll, we keep it real 905 This is how we do, steel city This is how we roll
Outro (4 Bars)
(The beat cuts completely. The deep 808 bass hits one last, long, sustained note that slowly decays. A final metallic clang sound effect is heard.)
Hype Man (Final whisper): "905... Steel City... That's a wrap. Peace."
