Doin My Thang |
Now in a world full of pain, hard strugglin' stressed |
The Buddha say your soul sufferin', I’m still here blessed |
Just to breath, please believe I’m way out west |
Oakland to be exact, where the pimps still rest |
And the mean mugs and thugs that test your chest |
It’d be so easy for me to be a pess-I-mist |
But I’m still here rhyming', still chart climbing |
Addicted to the game like I’m on cane vibin' |
It’s really all organic, so mamma don’t panic |
Your son ain’t a crack fiend, even though I back lean |
Hard on a verse til my shit sound clean |
The mega lord mix board, sword with a sheen |
Unseen in the night, while you sleep without light |
I slave to the beat, twist it til it feel tight |
Then take it to the sound proof booth with a mic |
The only thing in life that always made me feel right |
Some my people got high, sold they soul for spit |
Some drink water fire, work to that brink |
Some make hard love til it starts to sting |
I stay rymin', doin' my thing |
Some shorties get smart, givin' brain to kids |
Some homies get live with their one night fling |
Some even go to church, prayin' on they sin |
I stay rymin', doin' my thing |
In school I did cool, always got them grades |
But I acted real bad so the teachers say: |
What ya gonna do boy, you gotta go get paid |
Man I be rymin', doin' my thing |
And when I wrote they would joke that I wouldn’t be shit |
Cause we was rocking high fashion, all counterfeit |
Tryin' to learn a new dance step, and feel legit |
Get a girl with a booty, and real big tits |
We was crazy home boy, my mind was warped |
By a 40oz bottle, speakin' tales Too Short |
What’s my taste is yours, didn’t know what for |
Just wanna be a rapper, wanna go on tour |
Hit hoochies in a hojo, life moves slowmo |
Fast forward today, on planes doin' promo |
Now ya see who I am |
MC to the heart, I’mma funk the jam |
I coulda been a doctor, or psychologist |
But it wouldn’t make me happy, I chose to bust |
Roll with gamblers and hustlers |
Cats who grind all the time, drink and cuss |
But there’s something beautiful, it’s right beneath my touch |
It’s hard to understand a certain kind of rush |
That I get from my lifestyle, struggling trife style |
Long way to go, happily I walk a long mile |
I’ll… be… coming to town |
God gave me many blessings, I’mma spread 'em around |
When you see us in the club imma break shit down |
And I’ll be rymin', doin' my thing |
It’s my thing |
