Say man
Old niggas told me there two types of nigga I life you know
Niggas who talk that shit
And niggas who do that shit
[Chorus]
Let them niggas goin' hate cos they got to
Hey you know I been doing this for years
Other niggas saying wait, I ain't got to
Other niggas cop two
And you know I been doing this for years
Why theses niggas goin' hate?
Cos they got to
Never let em stop you
Hey you know I been doing this for years
Other niggas saying wait, I ain't got to
You know I been not to
You know I been doing this for years.
Hit the club do it big
Show these niggas how I live
100 gs for the chain
Couple mill for the crib
If you had it like I had
I bet you do it like this
Lamborghini dubs going up
Looking so sick
I make it rain
I make it rain
In any club that I go into
Toss a couple stacks out
Balling yeah that's what I do
And these niggas know exactly what I'm riding on
(what you ride homie)
24 inches on the old school
Beat up knocking
These hoes keep jocking
And these tags I'ma pop em
I'm a real show shopper
Sold out shows everywhere I go
Just to hear the young boy from the old ways flow
When it comes to the money imam get that doe
Imam get that doe nigga that's for sure
Can't nobody do it quite like this man
They cool but they ain't like this man
Got ice on my neck and my wrist man
Y'all niggas can't do it like this man
And I'm still on top whether you like it or not
Nigga I won't flop
What you think cos I sold a couple of million I'm goin' stop?
[Chorus]
These Nigga can't do it like I
Everyday this nigga stay fly
26 inches be on my ride
Hear my dubs be suicide
Still black card spending
If it's hot then I'm in it
When it comes to the hoes you know I'ma get em
At the mall everyday so you know that I'm fitted
Everything that I done hop in undid it
Tell these men first time I drop
6 years later still on top
Making these hits but it ain't goin' stop
I'ma get this money til my casket drop
And yes, yes my nigga I'ma baller
They had to nickname me Mr tear the mall up
Clip the bar
When I hit that mall
Shut the whole mall down
Buying everything I saw
And these lame niggas hating on me cos they hoes all want me
Hey it ain't my fault
You should having it, check homie
Something like a pimp
Yeah I ball from a sip
So much money in my pocket got me walking with a limp
And you say you got money but I ain't like this
And I'ma keep shining on you haters so sick
[Chorus]
The song "Been Doin' This" by Bow Wow featuring T.I. is an anthem for those who have worked hard to achieve their success and are rightly proud of it. The chorus of the song refers to the haters who will always be there but don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Bow Wow and T.I. both rap about their success and accomplishments, including owning expensive cars, expensive jewelry, and living in million-dollar homes. They also talk about how they rose to fame and will continue to be on top no matter what.
The message of the song is clear- stay focused and keep grinding no matter what obstacles come your way. It's a reminder that even when people try to bring you down, it's important to ignore them and keep pushing forward. The use of hard-hitting beats, clever rhymes, and confident delivery by both rappers makes this song an excellent choice for anyone who needs some inspiration to achieve their goals and stay motivated.

Say man
Listen carefully, I have something important to say
Old niggas told me there two types of nigga I life you know
Experienced folks have categorised people into two types
Niggas who talk that shit
People who boast a lot
And niggas who do that shit
Those who actually follow through on their plans
Let them niggas goin' hate cos they got to
It's inevitable for some folks to hate, so let them do so
What I care about you
It doesn't matter to me what they say about you
Hey you know I been doing this for years
I've been involved in this area of expertise for a long time
Other niggas saying wait, I ain't got to
Other people might be saying they don't have to wait, but I know better
Other niggas cop two
Others may buy two of the same thing
Why theses niggas goin' hate?
Why do these people feel the need to hate?
Never let em stop you
Don't let them hinder your progress
Hit the club do it big
I party extravagantly
Show these niggas how I live
Demonstrate my lifestyle to others
100 gs for the chain
A hundred thousand dollars spent on jewelry
Couple mill for the crib
A couple of million spent on a house
If you had it like I had
If you had the same wealth as me
I bet you do it like this
You would probably behave in the same way as me
Lamborghini dubs going up
Custom Lamborghini rims increasing in value
Looking so sick
Looking incredibly impressive
I make it rain
I throw around a lot of cash
In any club that I go into
Wherever I party
Toss a couple stacks out
Throw out wads of cash
Balling yeah that's what I do
I live a luxurious lifestyle
And these niggas know exactly what I'm riding on (what you ride homie)
People are aware of the car I drive
24 inches on the old school
24-inch rims on a older model car
Beat up knocking
Loud bass sounds from the car's sound system
These hoes keep jocking
Women are constantly trying to get my attention
And these tags I'ma pop em
I'm going to purchase expensive clothing and accessories
I'm a real show shopper
I know how to put on a great performance
Sold out shows everywhere I go
All my performances are fully booked
Just to hear the young boy from the old ways flow
Fans come to hear my unique style of rapping
When it comes to the money imam get that doe
I'm going to earn as much money as possible
Imam get that doe nigga that's for sure
I'm confident I'll achieve my financial goals
Can't nobody do it quite like this man
No one can replicate my success
They cool but they ain't like this man
Others may be successful, but they're not on my level
Got ice on my neck and my wrist man
I'm wearing expensive jewelry
Y'all niggas can't do it like this man
No one can do what I'm doing as successfully as I am
And I'm still on top whether you like it or not
Regardless of others' opinions, I'm still the most successful
Nigga I won't flop
I won't experience a failure in my career
What you think cos I sold a couple of million I'm goin' stop?
Do you really think that because I've had a few hits, I'm going to stop making music?
These Nigga can't do it like I
No one can accomplish what I do
Everyday this nigga stay fly
I keep myself looking stylish every day
26 inches be on my ride
My car has 26-inch rims
Hear my dubs be suicide
My rims are so expensive, they could drive someone to bankruptcy
Still black card spending
I spend large amounts of money and have no credit limit
If it's hot then I'm in it
If it's trendy, I buy it
When it comes to the hoes you know I'ma get em
I attract lots of women
At the mall everyday so you know that I'm fitted
I shop for clothes every day because I enjoy it
Everything that I done hop in undid it
I undo all the clothing tags before I wear them
Tell these men first time I drop
Tell them that the first time I released music, it was successful
6 years later still on top
Even after six years, I'm still the most popular rapper
Making these hits but it ain't goin' stop
I keep making popular songs
I'ma get this money til my casket drop
I'm going to earn money until I die
And yes, yes my nigga I'ma baller
Yes, I'm a wealthy man
They had to nickname me Mr tear the mall up
I caused such destruction shopping, they gave me a nickname
Clip the bar
I visited multiple bars in one night
When I hit that mall
Upon arriving at the mall
Shut the whole mall down
I brought the mall to a standstill due to my overwhelming presence
Buying everything I saw
I purchased every item that caught my eye
And these lame niggas hating on me cos they hoes all want me
These envious people hate me because women are attracted to me
Hey it ain't my fault
It's not my fault that women are drawn to me
You should having it, check homie
You should have this kind of success, my friend
Something like a pimp
I behave like a stereotypical player
Yeah I ball from a sip
I exude wealth with just one glance
So much money in my pocket got me walking with a limp
I have so much money, it's weighing down my pockets and causing me to walk differently
And you say you got money but I ain't like this
Others may claim to be wealthy, but they're not like me
And I'ma keep shining on you haters so sick
I'll continue to be successful and make my detractors even more envious
[Chorus]
Repeat of the chorus
