Background

"Do What We Did" was a Fort Minor song featuring vocals by Styles Of Beyond released by Mike Shinoda for free download exclusively for Fort Minor Militia members on January 31, 2006. All instruments and scratching were done by Mike. He also produced and mixed the song. Mike wrote: "In making "The Rising Tied," this song was the first song that I worked on with Ryu and Tak. They cut their vocals at their studio, Spytech (the studio in the Remember The Name video). I played all the organ and guitar sounds, then cut them up and added dusty record crackles so it sounded like a sample. The chorus was made by recording the vocal, then putting it on a CD and scratching it on a CD-turntable."

Cheapshot from Styles of Beyond revealed, "Styles of Beyond actually recorded 14 songs with Mike during the recording process of "The Rising Tied." After picking and choosing the final songs, Styles of Beyond will appear on 6 songs on the album." While six songs made the album, six with Styles Of Beyond are on We Major, one was released to the Fort Minor Militia, "Do What We Did", and one remains unreleased, "Watch Their Mouth".

The song was released with the "Kenji" (Interview Version) on the same day.

Album Version

If anybody's out there listenin' to this broadcast o' mine Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen what's on my mind I won't pull any punches hold anything back/I'll Tell you the way that it is When it's all said and done I'mma leave you wonderin' How did we do what we did? Yo, I don't care if you're a woman or a child or man When I'm done everybody's gonna understand Some rappers get mad when you say they're in a band But, not me 'cause I really am It's LP for your fuckin' information, pal So you can stop starin' back over your shoulder now You can stop me muggin' with that twisted brow Concentratin' on mine, you're wastin' your time buddy Erase that face, replace the frown Look at the ground, look down, quit fuckin' around Now jeez, everyone's been so tightly wound From the minute that we became the new menace in town Could it be that these cool, contagious Phrases sprayed aimless, are makin' ya'll hate us? Shit, you can hate 'til your face turns blue Everyone else, let me cut up a question for you If anybody's out there listenin' to this broadcast o' mine Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen what's on my mind I won't pull any punches hold anything back/I'll Tell you the way that it is When it's all said and done I'mma leave you wonderin' How did we do what we did? Oh, there goes another one, better call all your people in Bury the body quick stupid, show you where I'm coming from Open up the cellar to the pelican's bliss With delicatessenal sittin' 'til your skeleton's blitz He sets us off now, don't know which direction is which We all fell little weapons with consecutive hits But that'll be that, so never mind your battery pack 'Cause in reality, nobody gives a crappity-crap Move over, before you get your flattery snatched Tiny caterpillars act like you don't have any sex Hoping over the gums drillin' holes in cavity caps They're full of shit to the root now, pass me that Jack On the rocks is Tak back on the block, what? Tappin' your vest like I just happen to pop up Trapped in a circle and now he's itchin' the box But no way, I'm a stop until I'm waiting your snot puss If anybody's out there listenin' to this broadcast o' mine Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen what's on my mind I won't pull any punches hold anything back/I'll tell you the way that it is When it's all said and done I'mma leave you wonderin', How did we do what we did? (Yeah! Ryu!) I just say what I feel, I don't care if I'm black ball Walk up in the label, start wavin' a hack-saw Hit the bathroom, strip naked and jack-off This white boy's gettin' more gangster than Mac Mall I'm in the crowd I'm feedin' your fans roofies Nope, that ain't a coke it's a vikiten smoothie Yeah, acting boozy a thug like fuck it Got a champagne tazed with a bud light budget Got a little-ass dick with some faggots on it So sick I could make a fuckin' maggot vomit No shit, get the mics out, kick it in gear It's Ludacris, all I needed was some Chicken-N-Beer You better, roll out while the coast is clear We've been hit with thick bottles and a broken chair Bitch please you can leave with a couple of cracked teeth Don't pump me for the fame , I ain't crapped for six weeks so If anybody's out there listenin' to this broadcast o' mine Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen what's on my mind I won't pull any punches hold anything back/I'll Tell you the way that it is When it's all said and done I'mma leave you wonderin' How did we do what we did? If anybody's out there listenin' to this, this broadcast (How did we do what we did?) This broadcast o' mine
