I Do
Dirty Trashroad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't never goin' back, I ain't got nothing to defend.
Flappin' wings and soarin' high might give you highs
But crashin' down the steepest
Hill is just what I advise.
[*]
DO IT YOURSELF! (You gotta live it)
DO IT YOURSELF! (It's your only chance, chance, chance)
I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO
I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO
Sick and tired of fools dancin' their routine.
Guess it's 'bout time to let them
In on the brand new scene.
Ain't got the time to fool around with all the clowns.
I've got to take care of business
Get my own thing down.
[Repeat *]
DANGERS ABOUND
BEASTS ARE AROUND
DANGERS ABOUND
BEASTS ARE AROUND
HA... I'M HERE TO GET YA
HA... HERE I COME... TO GET YA
Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes, and there you go
Livin' today again like you're on the death row.
Ain't got the time to fool around with all the clowns.
I've got to take care of business
Get my own thing down.
[Repeat *]
I DO, I DO (KICK IT), I DO, I DO (GIVE IT)
I DO, I DO (SHAKE IT), I DO, I DO (BREAK IT)
In "I Do" by Dirty Trashroad, the artist gives his listeners insight into his previous struggles with failure and the need to break away from the crowd. He expresses that he has hit rock bottom and has nothing to defend. He is done with the highs and lows of life and has realized that crashing down is not worth it. Instead, he advises his listeners to take control of their own lives, to do it for themselves and to take it as their only chance.
The song goes further to state that the artist is done with playing around with individuals who are not willing to take the necessary risks to achieve their desired goals. He gets tired of those who are content with living their lives in a mundane way and refuses to fall for their routines. By doing so, he has learned to take care of his own business and get his own thing down.
Finally, the artist reiterates his advice to his listeners, stating that life is too short to "fool around with clowns". Instead, he encourages them to "shake and break it" and to take advantage of every moment life has to offer.
