Dolla - What Do You Do lyrics
[Dolla - What Do You Do lyrics]
Another day in the skin of a young black man
Tender age of 25 Is the average life span
We rather sell dope or rob than
Work For the white man
That's why there's less nigga in college
And more nigga in the can
We so use violence it ain't never silence
All we hear mommas cryin cause
Death rates keep multiplyin
And crime seem more easier to get
Into instead of some big institute
That's why I'm out here hustlin
Grindin for my family's food
Fuck you type of attitude always
Got a gat or two
I work too hard for what I got
I ain't with them jackers move
Crackers do whatever to disrepect us
They rather see a rope around my
Neck than my diamond necklace
Get The Message "Don't push me
I'm close to the edge", i confess
We drank or smoke weed or pop
Pills to ease the stress
Cops killin niggas off every other arrest
"like we don't pay our taxes and
We ain't here to protect"
Why just show me then try to take it
It's the same old story
But ain't shit changin what do you do
Trouble leaves then it's back again
What do you do, do you fight it or
Let it win, what do you do, start
Talkin and sick off drinkin but to stop
The pain and start the thinkin
What do you do
Trouble leaves then it's back again
What do you do, do you fight it or let it win
What do you do
It's easy to get a gun than
It is to get a job
So we result to goonin lookin
For someone to rob
And gang affliation got me ridin
On the back streets
I'll be godamn if one these bustas catch me
Reality's a muthafucka but in life's bitch
Tryna find a women with
Morals and common sense
And confidence that she can one
Day install in my kids
I'm involve in the streets it
Ain't nothin I ain't did
Shotguns that come equiped with
The velcro strap
It'll knock you off your pivot
And a pussy nigga back
Better hold it can't control it fuck
Around and hit a stray
Where we grew up look around
And you see j's everyday
Like we play for NBA but
We choose to sell yay
Young niggas stressed out tryna
Smoke the pain away
Waitin for better days prayin
Not to fade away
Hope the feds don't kick me door
And take a young nigga away
Why just show me then try to take it
It's the same old story
But ain't shit changin what do you do
Trouble leaves then it's back again
What do you do, do you fight it or
Let it win, what do you do, start
Talkin and sick off drinkin but to stop
The pain and start the thinkin
What do you do
Trouble leaves then it's back again
What do you do, do you fight it or let it win
What do you do
RIP to Sean Bell, Emmet Till and Oscar Grant
And to my father cus died
Due to tardy ambulance
He could of survive but shit they
Choose to take they time
Cause we was livin in the hood
Where niggas totin that iron
One time for my single
Independent black women
Workin two or three job to
Provivde and make a livin
Baby daddy's either deadbeats or
Locked up in prison
Neither way to help her out so
It don't make me no different
She got to raise children on
Her own and be strong
And somehow turn that broken down
House into a home turn boys into men and
Make daughters feel safe
The presence of a father just
Something you can't replace
Our brothers get mislead and
Involved in the streets
Our sisters get knocked up then
The cycle hit's repeat
We knee high deep in problems and
We need to start fixin
Before we let this end we
Got start ton pay attention, nigga
Why just show me then try to take it
It's the same old story
But ain't shit changin what do you do
Trouble leaves then it's back again
What do you do, do you fight it or
Let it win, what do you do, start
Talkin and sick off drinkin but to stop
The pain and start the thinkin
What do you do
Trouble leaves then it's back again
What do you do, do you fight it or let it win
What do you do
