Yeah, yeah
HitREC●rd Joe
Ah!

Not one to jump the gun just for fun
But we livin' in the era where the people on the run
From the young to the old
We live by the code
Do what you love in life
Unless it can get you runnin' from the po-po, woo!
Now that money ain't a thing like, woo!
Screamin money ain't a thing like
Most these people only worry 'bout the bling like, uh
Let LeBron worry 'bout the ring like, uh
Most of these people ain't what they seem like, uh
Claim to be happy now they don't seem right, uh
Runnin' around without a dream like, uh
Driven by money caught at the green light, woo!
Addicted to the game like a fiend like, uh!
Addicted to the game like a fiend like, uh!
Addicted to the game like a fiend like, ah!
Addicted to the game like, like...

Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh
Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh
Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh
Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh

Grinding up from the pavement
And, man, I just gotta make it
Just Young, Broke, and Infamous
Work-in with diligence
Tryna pay the dividends
And if I never do it
At least I pursued a passion
That brought me moments of magic
But this is just everlasting
Young Sinatra on a song
With the Persian boy
Who dreamed this moment up all alone
From the bottom of my heart
Thanks to God up above
'Cause he gave me the guidance to do what I love

I got a mind full of doubt
And a heart full of gold
I've gotta find a way
I'm tryna push to the top
The thought of heaven is sold
Back to the things I love
'Cause I've given up
But you gotta keep working
Keep pushing
And find a place to start
I've gotta find a way
And you'll find it
You'll find it
You'll find it deep in your heart
Ahhhhhh!

Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh
Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh
Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh
Do what you love, Do what you love
Do what you love, Do what you love
Come now, do it now, uh

People judge and people hate
People seek to silence
And to satiate
People claim they're true and real
But all that matters
Is the love, only you can feel

Are we recording?

Ay!
Money, money, money, money
You know if I got it, they won't take it from me
But if I don't got it, they know they won't love me
Can't do what I love
No, I can't do what I love
Need that when push come to shove
That's why my brother selled drugs
Call me the plug
Living like I never had it
Mama' was an addict
Listen to the statics
In the streets, then I added to the beats
Money make the world go round
Money make a girl go down like
That is a lie
Come now boy open your eyes
You hypnotize
Why, the media
Mo' money we make
We seem to get greedier, yeah!
Seem to get greedier
Now, stop it just do what you love
Come now just do what you love
Just do what you love
Come now just do what you love
Come now just do what you, do what you, do what you love
Not for the money, sir
Not for the women, sir
Not for the cars and the clothes that you love




Come now just do what you love
Come now just do what you, do what you, do what you love

My rap name, Young Sinatra


With the Persian boy
Collaborating with a producer of Persian descent


Who dreamed this moment up all alone

Can't do what I love
Unable to pursue my passions and interests

Call me the plug
Considered a reliable source or connection


Living like I never had it
Acting as if he's always had wealth and success

Hearing negative messages or criticisms


In the streets, then I added to the beats
Growing up in rough environments and incorporating that into his music

Money is a driving force behind many aspects of life


Money make a girl go down like
Implying that money can be used to manipulate or control women


That is a lie
Rejecting and condemning this idea

You've been deceived or brainwashed


Why, the media
Blaming the media for perpetuating false ideas or messages


Mo' money we make
The more money we earn


We seem to get greedier, yeah!
We become more selfish and less concerned about others


Now, stop it just do what you love
Stop worrying about money and materialism and focus on your passions
