Ladies and gentlemen,
They're back once again
And I hope you've all been listening
The Big Brovaz collective are definitely here to stay
And here is what they have to say

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it

That's right, I mean that's why we love you guys
You're so creative and very innovated... really

And that's what gets results

BIG BRO YEAH!

If you put your mind to it 
You can do what you want
You can see that we did it look
What we've gone through
It wasn't easy but we did what 
We had to, just to get results
You need to understand
Anything is possible
Don't be afraid to show who
You are and what you know
Just do your own thing,
Go ahead and find the time to
Perfect what you do in life

Freeze pauze, let
Me show y'all
Who's simply the best
It's Big Bro y'all
We always come correct 
We never go phoney
And that's what makes 
Us hot, we won't stop
We came here to school you,
Because life's an exam
You wanna pass, being
Best is crucial
Now these are just a couple of 
Words you should get used to
It ain't what you do it's how
You do what you do do

Chorus:
It ain't what you do it's
The way that you do it
It ain't what you do it's
How best you can do it
It ain't what you do it's
The time that you do it
And that's what gets results

So you want the 
Whole enchilada
Evisu and the prada
New car new house
That's more hotter
That's more money so
You've gotta work harder
And that's what gets
Results trust me
You wanna wake up
To breakfast first thing
And all them ice and
Jewels that go bling
So you gotta just put
The work in
Cause that's what gets 
Results trust me

People listen to the
Rhythm as we take control
Moving to the beat
Like never before
Click your fingers
And nod your head
Let me know that 
You're feeling this
Stop this, is what I
Hear you saying
Stop this, I'm driving you
Insane I say stop this
Music keeps the vibe when
We live it our timing
It's our way that
We're doing this

Chorus

Bridge

I'm just keeping it real
The same me like
Before the deal
Still rip up beats the
Same street appeal
Still making it hot the
Heat you can feel
People like damn Rocky
Man you need to chill
Big Brovaz blowing up
Now switch the game
Nu Flow was rowdy but
Can y'all do it again
No doubt and even better
Put the raps together
With the R&B everybody 
Telling me

Chorus

Outro
Fingaz yeah
