Lyrics

[Intro]
La la, la la, la la, la la, la lalala
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
La la, la la, la la, la la, la lalala
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
[Verse 1]
Doctor, doctor, what you got for me?
What I need is a remedy for the wrong in me
Maybe this is my medicine for monotony
My pen is healing when it's spilling philosophy
You get the feeling when you're singing along with me?
Then possibly there's some heroism in honesty (True)
Plenty of errors and some hypocrisy (Yeah)
But no begging for an apology (Nah)
You're checking in and you wanna see how Essa's been?
There's a grin on my face that says everything (Aha!)
Better and more together than I've ever been
Decade of therapy in
Steady and settling
These girls so fine and so feminine
But I've got mine, so no meddling
Still, there were times I can remember when I stepped on stage
And got 'em wetter than a terrapin
Beg your pardon!
[Chorus]
You're dealing with a don
Thought I was done, you're dead wrong
Both feet on the ground and stand strong (Yeah)
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
Come on, you only live once
So we do what we like, do what we want
And if you're feeling the vibes, then sing along (Yeah)
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
[Refrain]
La la, la la, la la, la la, la lalala
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
La la, la la, la la, la la, la lalala
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
[Verse 2]
Uh, you heard it here from Essa
This an Album of the Year contender
Yeah, remember
And that was clear from when the calendar was nowhere near December
If I have to be honest, that's the reality of it
But this is not a vanity project
It's a sanity project
Stress with me goes deep
Can it be offset?
If we take off through quavers and crotchets
And, as a minimum, stave off the onset
Of the ageing process
Still a Yungun, even though the name changed from long since
Give no ****s and we take no nonsense
Knock 'em out the box just for saying it's conscious
You can't put no labels on this
Independent, but still we're netting major profits, uh
Just watch us
[Chorus]
You're dealing with a don
Thought I was done, you're dead wrong
Both feet on the ground and stand strong (Yeah)
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
Come on, you only live once
So we do what we like, do what we want
And if you're feeling the vibes, then sing along (Yeah)
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
We ain't gone
[Chorus]
You're dealing with a don
Thought I was done, you're dead wrong
Both feet on the ground and stand strong (Yeah)
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
Come on, you only live once
So we do what we like, do what we want
And if you're feeling the vibes, then sing along (Yeah)
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
[Outro]
La la, la la, la la, la la, la lalala
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
La la, la la, la la, la la, la lalala
Yeah, that's the way, that's the one
