Gotta do what I gotta do |
|
Do what I gotta do |
|
Cause cash rules everything around me |
|
If you take a look around |
|
Take a look at was goin' down |
|
If you can see what I see, baby |
|
And why act the way I do |
|
Cause you can't understand |
|
And you don't really know a man |
|
Until you've been where I've been |
|
Loose the things I've lost |
|
But can you change the way that you look at me |
|
All that you can say to me |
|
the things I just can say no more |
|
I'm not the same guy that I used to be |
|
We don't even talk no more |
|
Don't I get up everyday |
|
Don't I bring home all my pay |
|
Don't I do whatever it takes |
|
If I could just get my baby out tha ghetto |
|
Gotta do what I gotta do |
|
Move when it's time to move |
|
See who I gotta see |
|
Cause cash rules everything around me |
|
Do what I gotta do |
|
Be who I gotta be |
|
But it's not enough for you |
|
Cause we can live without enough money |
|
She is afraid to get involved |
|
She ain't willin to fall in love |
|
It's such a risk to take and a big mistake |
|
By the way I make my livin' |
|
But I let you know from the go |
|
That's the way it is |
|
And that's the way it goes |
|
It's the only life I know |
|
But you can't do nuthing to change that baby |
|
All that you can say to me |
|
the things I just can say no more |
|
I'm not the same guy that I used to be |
|
We don't even talk no more |
|
Don't I get up everyday |

Don't I bring home all my pay |
|
Don't I do whatever it takes |
|
If I could just get my baby out tha ghetto |
|
Gotta do what I gotta do |
|
Move when it's time to move |

|
Cause cash rules everything around me |
