That's What I Do

Yeah, uh

Feelin' kinda famous, yeah

(That's what I do)

I'm feelin' kinda famous in my hometown

People hold me up, cause I hold em down

I never moved away from my family

And got the same friends since elementary

You know the name and the style

But don't know what I have

Cause in my circle of friends

The ones who posted and bragged

Ended up insecure, jealous of what others had

Glad I got raised a little different by my mother and dad

You know what I mean? (That's what I do)

I was a skater and a jock

Always showing off

My rolemodels were Wayne Gretzky and Tony Hawk

A C student I was average at best

Till I found hip hop and put my attidude to check

Then I found my identity, stopped caring about what anybody said to me

Alot of people make music to make you go forget about life

I make mine to hopefully help you out and deal with it right

That's what I do!

(You know it's all been done before)

(That's what I do)

(You know it's all been done before)

(that's what I did)

How many times I got to tell ya

(that's what I did)

I'm doin' this with or without cha

(That's what I do)

I went through all of it and back again

(That's what I do)

That's what I do, no need to ask again

(that's what I did)

And I ain't playing by the books I don't know how

I write my own story as it goes down

And you can either love me or hate me

No one cares about the ones who play it safely

Even my manager parties more than I do

I usually leave the party by 2

Go get high and hit the drive through

I feelin' kinda old for this ****

But the kid inside of me don't know when to quit

Huh, I bring the **** to the party cause of courteous

I started burnin' it, cause I was curious

Now ********* is my reality

But never touch a harder stuff cause my addictive personality

I know my limits, what I can and what I can't do

I understand myself so I don't underhand my health

It's Sheer determination and true grit face it

Don't follow any path blaze it!

That's what I do!

(You know it's all been done before)

(That's what I do)

(You know it's all been done before)

(that's what I did)

How many times I got to tell ya

(that's what I did)

I'm doin' this with or without cha

(That's what I do)

I went through all of it and back again

(That's what I do)

That's what I do, no need to ask again

Yeah and it's true (that's what I did)

I'm thinkin' about this music every day and night

I'm just passionate about the way I write

But every now and then I need to take a break from this

Cause I can't even raise my kid or take a ****

Without attempted to create a hit

My lifestyle ain't change since 19

And I'm still at the liquorstore gettin' ID

With the same crew

J-Brew, IV and Mike B

Us losing touch highly unlikely

Ask the wrong person I'ma has-been and done with

Ask the right person I'm a legend who runs ****

You either gonna love this or dump this

But all I can do is keep it 100

That's what I did!

How many times I got to tell ya

(that's what I did)

I'm doin' this with or without cha

(That's what I do)

I went through all of it and back again

(That's what I do)

That's what I do, no need to ask again

(that's what I did)

We know it's all been done before

That's what I do

We know it's all been done before

That's what I did

That's what I do

That's what I do

That's what I do
