Do What It Do
Bishop Lamont; Warren G Lyrics

When G-dog, the hog, come up in the place
When Warren G enters the room

There's dollar signs in your eyes and a smile in your face
People see Warren G's success and want to benefit from it

You want to live fat off of my sack
People want to live comfortably off of Warren G's money

You got more drag than a low lo-do, cut the act
Stop pretending to be someone you're not

'Cause back before '92 and '93
Before Warren G became successful

You didn't give a damn about Warren G
People didn't care about Warren G when he was unknown

But now that I'm slingin' platinum LP's
Now that Warren G is selling lots of records

All of a sudden you on my N.U.T's
Now people want to be associated with Warren G because of his success

Ain't nothin' you can do to make it stop
There's nothing people can do to stop Warren G's success

'Cause money makes the world
Money is powerful and can bring people success and influence

Go 'round and the panties drop
Money can even be attractive to women

I ain't in love though, I don't need the pressure
Warren G is not in love and doesn't want the stress associated with it

I just want to dig it like I'm diggin' for treasure
Warren G just wants to enjoy the fruits of his labor

Some of y'all had a good thing that you couldn't keep
Some people had good opportunities but couldn't maintain them

Thought you was TLC, you had to creep
Thought you were successful like the girl group TLC, but had to resort to sneaky behavior

You say you had love, I said you bullshit
People claim to love Warren G, but he doesn't believe them

It's all about the dough, so what's love got to do with it
Money is the most important thing, so why worry about love

Now, I'm the type of brother that's down for mines
Warren G is loyal to his people

Before I made beats, I was down to grind
Warren G hustled before he became a successful music producer

Back then, every single homey had my back
Warren G's friends supported him before he became successful

Now they're peepin' my stack and they're talkin' bout jack
Now they're jealous and trying to take his money

But I'm the same brother day in and day out
Warren G has not changed despite his success

And I'm-a stay that way until the day I lay out in a casket
Warren G will stay true to himself his entire life

It's drastic 'cause homies is plastic
It's unfortunate that his friends have changed

Break 'em off some bread
Give them some money

They want the whole damn basket
His friends are greedy and want everything he has

If you's a true homey, you would wish me well
A true friend would be happy for Warren G's success

Not plot to make a brother fail, jealous as hell
Not try to bring Warren G down because of jealousy

We used to get the same riches
They used to be on the same level financially

Now your trigger-finger got the itches, schemin' on my riches
Now they are willing to do anything for Warren G's money

Which is not a surprise, my eyes peep game
Warren G saw this coming

It's all a shame, homies'd jack you for your grip
It's sad that friends would steal from each other

Ain't no love involved, because it's all about the chips
Love doesn't matter, only money does

Now for these labels tellin' fables
Music labels tell lies

Makin' the fucked-up deals under the tables
Making unfair business deals secretly

You think that you smart, but fool, I'm the smartest
Warren G knows how to navigate the music industry

You can't make no money if you can't keep an artist
Music labels need to keep their artists happy to make money

Sign the dotted line, put 'em on the shelf
Sign the music contract and promote the artist

Break 'em off some crumbs, keep the rest for yourself
Give the artist some money but keep most of it for yourself

I know how it goes, treat an artist like a ho'
Music labels mistreat their artists

Fly cars, gold, clothes, but no dough
The artist gets material possessions but not much money

Since it's all business, I'm-a handle mine
Since the music industry is all business, Warren G will take care of himself

Keep track of my stack down to the very last dime
Warren G keeps a close eye on his money

'Cause in this rap game, it's all about the buck
Money is the most important thing in the music industry

You bend over for the label, and you will get fucked
If you allow music labels to control you, you will regret it

Like how we run up in a trick, and then you're through
Music labels are only interested in making money off of you

The record label do the same shit to you
Music labels treat all of their artists the same way

90% business, 10% show
Most of the music industry is focused on making money

Ain't no love in this game 'cause it's all about the dough
Love doesn't matter, only money does in the music industry
