Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you play the sax? I can play that too
Do you play the marimba? I can play that
Do you play the cymbals? I can play that too
Do you play the tuba? I can play that
Do you play the trombone? I can play that too
Do you play the trumpet? Nah, Brasstracks
But if we talkin' harpsichord, I play that too 'cause

(I say) everything's every damn thing, I do everything, yeah, yeah
'Cause I do this, I do that, they gon' dance and they gon' clap
I do this, I do that, they gon' dance and they gon' clap
Just because everything's every damn thing, I do everything, yeah
Hol' up
Uh, 23 with a money tree
Uh, yeah, listen, sixth grade, met a girl, got curved, kinda hurt, but I learned she loved that sax
Begged mom and I learned got good, real good, first chair and I got her back
Self-taught radio every day 'til the day that girl stopped lovin' me
So I say, "Why you stop?" She said, "Jamie Foxx funny, man" and I played those keys
So I played those keys
Snuck into church and I slayed those keys
Kicked outta class 'cause they hatin' on me
Never let a man put a grade on me
I just want her heart
I don't care about that grade or thing, I just need that girl near me
So I learned and I learned, I swear I'm the best ever
I swear I'm a legend, I'ma get whatever I want, girl, I say that
(Everything's every damn thing I do everything, yeah)
23 with a money tree
(Everything's every damn thing I do everything, yeah)
Where'd the bass go? Hit me
Everything's every damn thing, I do everything, yeah
Everything's every damn thing, I do everything yeah
Everything's every damn thing I do everything (ayy, yeah)
I say, everything's every damn thing, I do everything yeah, yeah
'Cause I do this, I do that, they gon' dance and they gon' clap
I do this, I do that and they gon' dance and they gon' clap
Just because everything's every damn thing, I do everything, yeah
Yeah, that's right

I did the drums, the hi-hats, I did the triangle
I done told you, I do it all, everything

Stop the song if you want
If you a real fan you gon' let me run it back

It's been fan-tan-tan-tastic, ah, I do what I love for a living and it's amazing
I'm gonna go get a tattoo
If my mom hears that

I'm going to get a Bible protector for my Bible to make sure it doesn't get rained on
Alright, gotta, gotta go
Send me money 'cause um, you know, that's the-
Whoop, whoop, that's your girl calling, she's in love with me
But I am getting a Bible protector 'cause I don't even know how I got her number
I don't know, get out of my phone, get out of my phone, girl
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
