That's what I do
Yeah 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 as elementary
Y'all know the name in the style
But don't know what I have
'Cause in my circle of friends
The ones who boasted and bragged
Ended up insecure
Jealous of what others had
Glad I was raised a little different by my mother and dad
Y'all know the name
(That's what I do)
I was a skater and a jock
Always showing off
My role models were Wayne Gretzky and Tony Hawk
A C student, I was average and best
'Til I found hip hop and put my attitude in check
Then I found my identity, stopped caring about what anybody said to me
A lot 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
We know it's all been done before (That's what I do)
We know it's all been done before
How many times I got to tell ya (That's what I do)
I'm doin' this with or without ya (That's what I do)
I went through all of it and back again (That's what I do)
That's what I do (That's what I do)
And I ain't playing about 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 two
Go get high and hit the drive-thru
I'm feeling kinda old for this shit
But the kid inside of me don't know when to quit (That's what I do)
Huh, I bring the weed to the party cause I'm courteous
I started burnin' it, 'cause I was curious
Now marijuana is my reality
But never touch nothin else '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
The shared determination and true grit face it
Don't follow any path, blaze it (That's what I do)
That's what I did
We know it's all been done before
Uh, that's what I did
We know it's all been done before (That's what I do)
Yeah, how many times I got to tell ya (That's what I do)
I'm doin' this with or without ya (That's what I did)
I went through all of it and back again (That's what I do)
That's what I do don't need to ask again (That's what I do)
That's what I do
