Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There it feels like a remix, yeah
Feels like a remix, yeah
It must be the remix, yeah ooh, ooh
Got to feel the remix, yeah (You're so special right here)

Photos of the boss
She just post 'em on a blog
Get a lotta views
'Cause they know we'd be the top
Jean Basquiat's
In the middle of our hall
She's my work of art
So I pin her to the wall
Oh oh, sex and the dope
Underneath the waterfall
Sight seeing in a space jet
As I be paying off the stores
Ain't me understated
They've got a tag on you boy
'Cause I'm the hottest cross the board
Cruise through the ghetto
Mulsanne made of metal
Hanging out the window
Bruce Willis on the pedal
Pool on the roof
Black bottle for a model
Oh, I gotta keep it fly
Mosquito doors on the auto, boss

I, I feel good, I walk alone
But then I trip upon myself and I fall
I, I stand up, and then I'm okay
But then you print some shit
That makes me wanna scream

So do what you want
What you want with my body
Do what you want
Don't stop, let's party
Do what you want
What you want with my body
Do what you want
What you want with my body

Write what you want
Say what you want 'bout me
If you're wonderin'
Know that I'm not sorry

Do what you want
What you want with my body
What you want with my body

You can't have my heart
And you won't use my mind but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body

Early morning, longer nights
Tom Ford, private flights
Crazy schedule, fast life
I wouldn't trade it in
'Cause it's our life
(Let's slow it down)

I could be the drink in your cup
I could be the green in your blunt
Your pusher man, yeah I got what you want
You wanna escape all of the crazy shit
You're the Marilyn, I'm the president
And I love to hear you sing, girl

Do what I want
Do what I want with your body
Do what I want
Do what I want with your body
Back of the club, takin' shots, gettin' naughty
No invitations, it's a private party
Do what I want
Do what I want with your body
Do what I want
Do what I want with your body
Yea we takin' these haters
And we roughin' 'em up
And we layin' the club like
We don't give a fuck

You can't have my heart
And you won't use my mind but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body

Sometimes I'm scared I suppose
If you ever let me go
I would fall apart
If you break my heart
So just take my body
And don't stop the party

You can't have my heart (Help me now)
And you won't use my mind but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body

Do what you want with me
What you want with my body
Do what you want with me
What you want with my body (boy)
Do what you want with me
What you want with my body
Do what you want with me
What you want with my body, world

Help me now
(What you want with my body)




Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body (What you want my body, world)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "What It Do" by 50 Cent feat. R. Kelly feature the rappers boasting about their lavish lifestyles, including expensive art, travel on private jets, fast cars, and wild parties. They also address negative media coverage that they feel is unfair but insist that they won't let it affect them. The chorus of the song features R. Kelly singing about giving permission to someone to do as they please with his body, emphasizing his confidence and control over his life.


The lyrics also touch on societal issues of power dynamics, ownership, and objectification. R. Kelly asserts that while others may try to use his body and voice, they don't own him or his life. The verses play into gender stereotypes of men as dominant and in control of their bodies and women as objects to be used for pleasure. The reference to Marilyn Monroe implies that the female subject is being put on a pedestal for her beauty and sex appeal, echoing society's objectification of women.


Overall, the lyrics of "What It Do" glorify wealth, fame, and power while objectifying women for their looks and bodies. It also presents a contrasting message of self-empowerment and ownership of one's body and life.
