What It Do
Json Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1 – Titus] 
Hey what it do, does the truth came down your avenue 
Givin' you that 20/20 but no need for attributes
 So see that Christ is king well what's inside your treasure chest
 Don't know why God? We murderers we kill the flesh
 We serve the best He crush the rest I thought I told you
Our King so great He makes Alexander look mediocre 
Now hold up, no sir, boy you must be trippin’ 

The resurrection from Christ affliction has been redemption 
If you say we rippin’ but don't get it you should reverse it 
Come back to the first look how 'cause Christ is the top of your purpose 
So what you stoppin’ for? Go give them what they askin’ for 
Christ loved us so much he died for sin, high metaphor
 Look at the picture boy we in this grind we goin’ true
 Like Catholic sinners we bring our confessions right into the booth 
100 fruits go blend it in, this here is absolute 
Like Tropicana juice we bear the fruit, now tell me …  

[Hook – Json & Trip Lee] 
Hey whatchu do?
Daily dyin’, I ain't mine, I belong to him
 Hey whatchu do?
Holy grind, all the time, on the grind for him
 Hey whatchu do?
Renew my mind, all the time, when I'm in the streets
 Hey what it do?
 You might find me, and mine when you’re on the streets 
That’s what it do

  Already make it do what it do 
That's what it do 
Already make it do what it do
 That's what it do
 Already make it do what it do
 That's what it do
 Already make it do what it do 
That's what it do 

[Verse 2 – Trip Lee] 
Hey you got questions for me like what I'm doin’ on a daily basis? 
I love the light and hate the dark, since I been saved I'm racist
 I'm trying to rep the God who saved me, said he’d trade me places 
And by his grace my ways was straightened like them legs with braces
 I'm tryin’ to grow up in the faith forget them baby skaters
 That's why I'm training every day like I play for the Lakers 
My crew reveal with Him man, we took his grace and drank it
 Some call it drunk in the Spirit but you might say I'm wasted
And cats is burnin’ to know
What's poppin’ after the music stops and them curtains is closed
 Yes sir we servin’ and we worship Him, we certainly go 
And hit the curb 'cause cats is hurtin’ and this world doesn’t know him
 That's why we servin’ in whole, we reimburse as we go
 Gettin’ to cats so they can know Him, they can learn and be grown
This life is harder when my back’s on the wall
 But remind myself that my own self is dead, casket and all

  [Hook – Json & Trip Lee] 

  [Verse 3 – Json]
I rep Christ (rep Christ) ’cause I know for my sins he was martyred
 I die with him so say hello to the dearly departed 
Perhaps you might hear me rappin’, I'm not nearly an artist 
The fact is I happen to spit like I'm really retarded 
Was weary-hearted when Christ came in and then did an audit 
Saw that the law demanded that every man would live Godless
 But then he switched my aim, gave me a new direction
 I live to lift his name, hope you see a reflection 
I resemble my daddy, not in physical either
 I personally inherited his character feature (that's what it do)
 So yeah my pants is baggy and still my fitted lean
 But if my head cause me to sin then bring on the guillotine 
See my actions have stopped since I'm attached to the Rock
 Who died and popped out the grave like a Jack-in-the-Box
Who you know murdered death huh? Well then death couldn't murder
 It's Christ the King we rep, with every breath we give Him worship

[Hook – Json & Trip Lee]
