What I Gotta Do

When I was talking to Bigga Rankin the other day

You know he hella animated

But it came out super genuine

He like 'Man we, it's gotta put on 'cause

This for that **** who mama was listenin' to you

And he ain't know who you was

Way back then'

I was told

It's a mandatory minimum

That I go as hard as I possibly can 'cause

It's some that just don't know that, you know

Even though I been at it for a long time

It just keep getting better

I'ma be a legend when I dip

Just like pimp

Cross my heart and I put that on this heater on my hip

Hope to die smokin' fire

In the hotel eatin' shrimp

With a towel under the door

And a thick red hoe

That I can be myself around

And give me head slow (Slow)

You say that's a lot to ask for

Yeah, I know

I'm just livin', I'm just grindin'

Might get inspired by my music

Not to mention, Chef produced it

He got the weed and drive Uber

Got to have a hundred hustles

If you wanna run it up

Never know when you might fuck around

And run into a plug

Coincidence, no such

I don't believe in luck

How can I give her my heart

When I don't even give a fuck?

And I don't take my car out park

Until my babies buckle up

I'm never on time

But I ain't never in a rush

Kaia asked me what I ate today

I told her not much

So she gave me two dollars

And told me she buying me lunch

Boy, you know I cried

'Cause that shit touched a ****

I remember having cold  cuts for dinner

We had to do homework in candlelight

The gas stove warmed us up for winter

My babies cannot relate though

These days, papa bring home the pesos

I beg you, please don't interfere

I'll spray yo' ass faster than MAACO

You so worried about Drake and J-Lo

I'm more worried about makin' payroll

I been on mine since my son was a day old

And I'm strapped like I joined the NATO

I been all over the map

The things I seen is sometimes salacious

But I do whatever I gotta

To make sure I  make it back to my babies

Godspeed

I do what I gotta do

For the profit too

Still move like they watchin'

Because I do got a lot to lose

I do what I gotta do

We done shot at you

I'm too busy watchin' you

That why I don't watch the news

I do what I gotta do

For the profit, too

Still move like they watchin'

Because I do got a lot to lose

I do what I gotta do

We done shot at you

I'm too busy watchin' you

That why I don't watch the news

By any means

It's me against the world

When times tight as a clam

I try and squeeze out a pearl

There's my silver linin'

Most my lines got tears behind 'em

I been searchin' for a better way

As you can guess, still haven't found it

My heart heavy

That's to keep me grounded

That way I don't get too high

That way I don't move too fast

And time don't pass me by

But all my faults don't tame my pride

I can still look you in the eyes

And tell you if I can go change it all

I'd do it all for a second time

Godspeed

Still watchin' you

While you watchin me

Got a lot to lose, but I gotta eat

I ain't watch the news since they shot at me

2002 since I got some sleep

Watch who you serve

They'll plot and creep

Probably two thirds of your top three

Step brothers

When me and Trip first met

I was in a shootout bout a week prior

In the studio with them assault rifles

I'ma keep mine, gotta sleep by it

On the beef diet

On the east side

High speed chase, like, three times

I ain't think about

Didn't blink or doubt it

If I get away, I'ma be fine

I'ma quit today

Look at me lyin'

Geekin' hard with my teeth grinding

Creepin' round with that P-90

For cash money or yo' Gotti

The streets signed me

Got a bunch of P's of some good weed

For the cheap, I'm buyin' it

Never fell off

And I ain't declinin'

Since I decided

I'm a do what I got to do

For the profit too

Still move like they watchin'

Because I do got a lot to lose

I do what I gotta do

We done shot at you

I'm too busy watchin' you

That why I don't watch the news

I do what I gotta do

For the profit too

Still move like they watchin'

Because I do got a lot to lose

I do what I gotta do

We done shot at you

I'm too busy watchin' you

That why I don't watch the news
