歌词

[00:26.805] Never do what they do
[00:31.933] what they do what they do
[00:37.069] Never do what they do
[00:41.845] what they do what they do
[00:46.120] Yo yo
[00:46.887] Lost generation fast paced nation
[00:49.426] World population confront they frustration
[00:51.863] The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
[00:54.198] It's all contractual and about money makin'
[00:56.949] Pretend-to-be cats
[00:58.067] don't seem to know they limitation
[00:59.652]
[00:59.855] Exact replication and false representation
[01:01.480] You wanna be a man Then stand your own
[01:04.547] To emcee requires skills
[01:05.667] I demand some shown
[01:07.095] I let the frauds keep frontin'
[01:08.668] And roam like a cellular phone far from home
[01:11.207] Givin' crowds what they wantin'
[01:12.534] Official hip-hop consumption the fifth thumpin'
[01:15.462] Keepin' ya party jumpin' with an original somethin'
[01:17.756] Yo I dedicate this to the one dimensional
[01:20.499] No imagination excuse for perpetration
[01:22.490]
[01:22.897] My man came over and said
[01:24.217] Yo we thought we heard you
[01:25.652] Joke's on you
[01:27.021] you heard a bitin'-ass crew but um
[01:28.855] Never do what they do
[01:33.992] what they do what they do
[01:39.127] Never do what they do
[01:44.166] what they do what they do
[01:49.424] Thin is the line that run between love and hatred
[01:51.617] The game is ill-natured it's nothing sacred
[01:53.858] Aiyyo it's funny
[01:54.623] when I see some rap niggas due to make it
[01:56.605] A few'll blow up or go as far as they can take it
[01:59.247] My nine to five is just to hit ya; get the party live
[02:02.304] I'm black thought used to rap for sport
[02:04.194] Now the rhymes sayin' rent payin' life support
[02:06.233] I take it very seriously within this industry
[02:08.879] It's various crews that try to touch me
[02:11.684] But I come with the beautiful things
[02:13.261] and I bless the track plushly
[02:14.682] Around the world crowds love me from doin' tours
[02:17.233] Recipient of applause from all of you and yours
[02:19.487] Creator of original sounds to send to stores
[02:22.393] You take home to absorb
[02:23.765] and sweat it out your pores
[02:25.827] Now who can stop the music
[02:26.842] runnin' through these veins
[02:27.707] Infinitely go against the grain;
[02:29.234] that's why my motto's to
[02:30.659] Never do what they do
[02:35.759] what they do what they do
[02:41.306] Never do what they do
[02:46.232] what they do what they do
[02:51.572] Livin' the life of limos and lights
[02:53.556] Airplanes and trains short days and long nights
[02:56.298] Keyboards and mics bass chords and drum kicks
[02:59.168] And my mental thick to hit my head like brick
[03:01.100] As I embark on a mission welcomin' to the dark
[03:03.697] When I first spark the arts when the listenin' start
[03:06.376] Open your head wide and let the thought inside
[03:08.946] My style fortified by all of Philadel-phi
[03:11.495] I've dealt more stealth than all the wicked wealthy
[03:14.098] Mentality undetectable by the naked eye
[03:16.747] Then I get paid when the record is played
[03:19.198] To put it short I want it made like Ed 'nuff said
[03:22.012] Then after that I'm puttin' on my cousin Hamed
[03:24.454] We let the ladies blend
[03:25.730] with the dark skin thoroughbred
[03:27.259] And discover my level is that of no other
[03:30.014] And Roots crew reign official and true
[03:31.601] while I'm continuin' to
[03:33.084] Never do what they do
[03:38.097] what they do what they do
[03:43.482] Never do what they do
[03:48.206] what they do what they do
[03:53.796] Never do what they do
[03:58.533] what they do what they do
[04:04.220] Never do what they do
[04:08.842] what they do what they do
[04:14.479] Never do what they do
[04:19.455] what they do what they do
[04:24.892] Never do what they do
[04:29.725] what they do what they do
