What Can I Do
Eightball & M.J.G Lyrics

Play me some of that suicide pimpin', man
I want to hear some music that has a dark, gritty feel to it.

This a $crim beat
The instrumental for this song was produced by rapper $crim.

Damn what i do
What did I do to deserve all this negativity and hate from others?

Ain't shit crazy mane
There's nothing really out of the ordinary or unexpected happening in my life right now.

Nigga out here hustling
I am working hard to make money through various means, such as selling drugs or doing legitimate work.

And still always some bullshit
Even though I am working hard, there are still problems and obstacles that I face on a regular basis.

That's why i don't fuck with a lot of niggas
Because of all the problems and negativity, I choose to only surround myself with a small group of trustworthy friends.

DJ $crim with that 808
DJ $crim is using a specific type of drum machine called an 808, which creates a deep, heavy bass sound in the music.

What did i do to make your life so sad?
Why are you so upset and unhappy, and how is my behavior or actions responsible for it?

I never played around, i never acted bad
I have always acted with integrity and honesty, never intentionally causing harm or trouble for others.

I'm gettin' better with this fame
As my career and public profile grow, I am becoming more comfortable and confident in dealing with the attention and scrutiny that comes with it.

Tell me what I did to make these niggas act so lame
Why are these people acting foolish and fake towards me, and what did I do to provoke their negative behavior?

All I did was give 'em all the sauce and all the game
All I did was share my knowledge and experience with others to help them succeed in their own endeavors.

The players always change, but the bosses stay the same
In life, there will always be people who come and go, but those who are truly successful and in control will remain constant.

When you at the top you like the only one to blame
When you are successful and have a lot of responsibility, there is a sense that you are solely responsible for both your own success and any failures that may occur.

Naw we ain't no slaves, but my niggas got whips and chains
Although we are not literally enslaved, our lives are still difficult and we face many struggles and obstacles, as symbolized by the imagery of whips and chains.

Got the big body, but still I stay in my lane
Even though I have achieved a certain level of success and status, I still remain focused on my own goals and do not try to compete or interfere with others.

You ain't no different from these other niggas
You are acting just like everyone else who is jealous or negative towards me, and therefore not worth my time or attention.

That's what she said before she seen the way I'm livin'
Before she saw my success and wealth, she doubted me or saw me as just another average person.

Now she know the difference
Now that she has seen my lifestyle and achievements, she realizes that there is a significant difference between me and other people she may have known.

That pussy mine
I have control and power in my sexual relationships.

Now you her last nigga
You were her last sexual partner before me, but now I have taken that role.

'Cause you ain't last nigga
You were not able to satisfy her sexually or maintain the relationship, which is why she moved on to me.

Got niggas callin' me the goat
I am widely recognized and celebrated as one of the greatest of all time in my field.

I got mad issues
I have many personal problems or challenges that I must deal with on a regular basis.

I don't trust none, I let this mag hit you
I do not trust anyone and will use violence or force to protect myself if necessary.

I been official since before the whistle
I have always carried myself with a sense of authority and professionalism, even before I became successful or famous.

It's like you hate to see me winnin'
It seems like you are actively trying to bring me down or prevent me from achieving success.

But you never seen me go against you
Despite any negative feelings or actions towards me, I have never actively opposed or fought against you.

Ay, you ain't mad, is you?
Are you upset or angry with me for my successes or my attitude?

Just spent a grip on that new whip
I recently purchased an expensive new car.

I went from nothin' to somethin'
I have achieved a significant level of success or wealth from humble beginnings or difficult circumstances.

Ay, you ain't mad, is you?
Are you still upset or angry with me for my successes or my attitude?

I'm makin' moves, that's what I do
I am constantly taking action to improve my life and achieve my goals.

I'm the shit, my bitch is bad
I am extremely confident and successful, and my romantic partner is attractive and desirable.

Ay, you ain't mad, is you?
Are you still upset or angry with me for my successes or my attitude?

You lost it all, go get it back
If you have lost everything or experienced failure, you need to work hard and try to regain what you have lost.

'Cause them streets won't give it back
It is difficult to recover from a loss or setback in life, especially in a dangerous or challenging environment like the streets.

I told you secure the bag
I gave you advice to focus on making money and securing your financial future.

All I did was check a bag
I have successfully earned and saved a lot of money through my hard work and hustle.

Let that money work for me
I am using my money wisely to invest and grow my wealth over time.

And put some more up in the stash
I am saving some of my money for future use or emergencies.

Ay, you ain't mad, is you?
Are you still upset or angry with me for my successes or my attitude?

I went from nothin' to somethin'
I have achieved a significant level of success or wealth from humble beginnings or difficult circumstances.

Ay, you ain't mad, is you?
