Template:Infobox song "Do What We Did" is a song by Fort Minor featuring Styles Of Beyond that was released to the Fort Minor Militia in November 2005.

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.

Lyrics

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
