Do What I Want
Far East Movement Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm to do what they want

Say I don't care
Giving permission for others to judge and criticize, because they don't care

I throw my hands in the air
Acting carefree and nonchalant about people's opinions and judgments

I do it my way
Emphasizing that they have the right to choose and act in their own way

I got no fear
Confident and fearless in pursuing their own path and choices

Say I do what I want
Reiterating their insistence on making their own decisions and choices

Yeah I do what I want
Affirming their belief in their right to act autonomously

You know I do what I want
Asserting that their autonomy is a well-established part of their identity

Because I do, what I do, what I do what I want
Stressing that their autonomy is essential to their desire of enjoying life

Wild out stylin', I came to get down
Describing their determination to enjoy life and express themselves

And ya can't believe that FM on your dial
Surprised by the negative reactions they receive

Hatin' on my crown 'cause the kicks stand out
Receiving negative attention due to their unique and bold fashion choices

When I kick the raw sound, then I make ya walk it out
Generating enthusiasm and excitement with their music

Yeah critics try to test the best
Dealing with criticism and negative feedback from the critics

I'm flippin' nose at shows 'cause i dress the best
Showing disregard to critics because they are confident in their excellent fashion sense

FM on my chest, I rep the west
Representing their origins and identity proudly through their fashion and music

I'm world-wide, haters on house arrest
Having a global presence and being indifferent towards haters

So when they tell ya how to do yo thang
Being advised or instructed by others on how to act

You tell em step off 'cause the kicks so clean
Refusing to take advice because they are confident in their fashion sense

I got no shame, I'm proud like a champion
Being unapologetic about their actions and expressing pride

I'm at the top of my game
Feeling successful and accomplished in their music career

Yo, why you on my grill?
Questioning why someone is so focused on criticizing them

Homie fall back, just tryna chill with my Pontiac
Asking the other person to chill and relax instead of criticizing them

Pick up a girl, maybe pick two
Asserting their freedom to pursue their own desires and choices

Im'ma big deal and I'm from a sick crew
Proudly belonging to a group and expressing their significance

It's the 18, we get the job done
Referring to their group and their ability to get things done

It's 24/7 always on the run
Emphasizing their busy and exciting lifestyle of entertainment and music

Reppin' LA, that's where I'm from
Expressing their strong connection and attachment to their hometown

Aim for the top, coming straight from the slums
Describing their ambition and dedication to achieving success despite their humble beginnings

Sick of the hate that's pointed to my dome
Tired of the negativity and criticism directed towards them

Quiet all the yappin', you fake Jenny Jones
Ignoring the criticism and labeling it as fake or insincere

How can you doubt me, I got to much passion
Questioning how someone can doubt their abilities or talent because they have so much passion and drive

Reppin' FM till they drop in my casket
Loyal to Far East Movement's brand even after they die

Try and tell me this and try and tell me that
Continuing to receive advice or criticism from others

But I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Being confident in their choices and abilities despite criticism

It goes in one eat and right out the other
Ignoring and disregarding the negative comments and opinions

'cause I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't
Refusing to let other people's judgments and opinions affect them

Workin' 9 to 9, I'm just tryna sing it live
Working hard to achieve their goals and dreams of performing live music

Is it really any different that I'm wokin' on my rhymes
Questioning whether their hard work and dedication to songwriting is any different from a 9-5 job

'cause my swagger to sick, all my flows too cool
Referring to their unique and confident style

Or the fact that I wear my shades in the early afternoon
Emphasizing their personal style choices and how they stand out

Really buggin you? Sorry I didn't know about the rules
Acknowledging that their style may not fit normative standards of dress and behavior

But I'm pretty sure that mama didn't raise no fool
Asserting their intelligence and ability to make their own choices

You can say watchu will, but it ain't no use
Acknowledging that people can criticize them, but it won't change their decisions or behavior

Im'ma still low ride, throwin' up the double u
Continuing to engage in their own culture and traditions despite criticism

I got my vans on they cost a billion
Expressing their unique fashion sense and preferences

I do what I want and there ain't no stealin'
Emphasizing their autonomy and personal agency and how it cannot be taken away

Flow so cold 'cause ya boy is chillin'
Describing their cool and confident demeanor in the face of criticism and negativity

Haters can't fight the feelin'
Not caring about haters and their negative feelings towards them
