I Do What I Do
Kirk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what I gotta do
If u try to lie to me
Tell me what I gotta do
Cause I see it clearly
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do
If try to make me stop
Tell me what I gotta do
When I'm going to the top
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do

What I gotta do
If my sequencer is working
I didn't finish the poem
I'm not ready to go Rec. it
Than I got to point that
Mostly nobody understand
What I'm talking
Why do I need to be loyal
I don't fuckng care
Cause I'm done with this hoes
And now it's getting so boring
And I dunno if it's worth it
And I'm already stoned
Ma prize in my Bronchos
Don't wanna pick shawties
They thinking's I'm sore
And don't wanna go for it

Tell me what I gotta do
If u try to lie to me
Tell me what I gotta do
Cause I see it clearly
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do

Tell me what I gotta do
If try to make me stop
Tell me what I gotta do
When I'm going to the top
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do
Tell me what I gotta do

I know I need to say goodbye
Together for so long
But now I need to go
I'm sorry
Than I got to point that
Mostly nobody understand
What I'm talking




Why do I need to be loyal
I don't fucking care
