| Yeah, from my homies in jail, in the game to remain
|
| It bring a tear to my eye, when thinkin' what we all became
|
| I put it on the table when it came to my family
|
| The expression on my face don’t mean that I’m angry
|
| I seen so many thangs, don’t know what to expect
|
| And there’ll be thangs that your weatherman couldn’t predict
|
| Your world shift everyday, switch, things could get hectic
|
| A single incident can change your whole perspective
|
| …(?) life, roll dice, and continue to …(?)
|
| Move fast, ain’t no time to wait for funk to settle
|
| I’m at my prime, in order there’s a time and place
|
| A night, escape, look deep into my mind state
|
| Homies roll aimless, the attitude we hold is contagious
|
| Yet you can’t blame us on how tight the game iz Laced is how we do the beat, or rollin' through the street
|
| Handle business, pullin' all nightas, and losin' sleep
|
| Do what I gotta do…
|
| «Hey, I’mma holla at y’all later, I’ma get at you
|
| I just gotta handle sumthin' real quick»
|
| Do what I gotta do…
|
| I’m out and about bouncin', makin' it all count when I Do what I gotta do…
|
| And I’m doin' it now because there’ll never be a later
|
| Do what I gotta do…
|
| Cuz life’s so hard with no paper
|
| Ever since my homie Joe died
|
| He turned to his side and left the world (with) closed eyez
|
| Everythang got crucial, made it look easy, done perfectly, no lie
|
| Handle’n those (?), and emergency times
|
| No other dreams seemed bigger than chase
|
| You could tell it by the look on all my homie’s face
|
| Ignore distractions
|
| Baby complainin' that I’m a player
|
| She can die with me now and she can live with me later
|
| In life, that’s how I put it in the land of the crooked
|
| Give me anythang, I’ma break it down and jerk (?) it Into a grime, combine it with a fresh rhyme
|
| Gotta do it now (why?) there’ll never be a next time
|
| Baby, gotta do what I gotta do It’s all true, prepare for the scare cuz anythang could fall through
|
| When there’s no money and mean (?) muggin' cuz you’re so hungry
|
| In the game, high and relyin' on nobody
|
| I’m straight pro, give me a beat and I bust it And I’m out makin' moves, just me and my cousin
|
| It’s all family, helpin' each other throughout the struggle
|
| We build a corporation, on years of hustle
|
| Now we Do what I gotta do…
|
| Stay alive in these times and write rhymes through hard times
|
| Do what I gotta do…
|
| I’m out and about bouncin', makin' it all count when I Do what I gotta do…
|
| Doin' it now because there’ll never be a later
|
| Do what I gotta do…
|
| Cuz life’s so hard with no paper
|
| It’s like 286 on a 747, I’ve never been so close to heaven
|
| A natural high, the best way to describe
|
| When you arrive, worldwide, with innocent eyez for the first time
|
| You’ll turn back, recognize the beauty
|
| Accept responsibility, realize the duty
|
| I’m gettin' looney when I wanna
|
| And handlin' my business like there’s no tomorrow
|
| I’m on a daily schedule, way too deep in it to let it go
|
| I bring out the little things like a telescope
|
| I gotta find my prize and go behind, no more stayin' on my mind
|
| Like my momma all the time
|
| Sayin' to get mine, parkin'(?) a low price
|
| Pay dues, (what?) it’s like I’ve been rappin' my whole life
|
| Precise is precision, seen through one’s vision
|
| Carry the crown, king, and everyone will listen
|
| I’m here to play my part, just play your position
|
| Provide my whole heart, forget recognition
|
| It’s time, we all go beyond a situation and waitin'
|
| I’m way too tired to be patient
|
| Runnin' around and heart pacin'
|
| Under the ground, the studio still creatin'
|
| We makin' it through, and everything I’ve done and do for the crew
|
| And always kept it true,
|
| To do what I gotta do…
|
| (Chorus) |
