what do i do
Mike Lyrics

What do I do?
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about the right course of action

Hear me
An appeal to be listened to, to be heard

If you gave me all of you
If you were to fully commit to me

Would you tell me
Asking for honesty and communication in the relationship

It's 10k, you know the vibe
Referring to a sense of luxury and high standards

What you saying? Just stayin' alive
Asking what someone is saying, making sure they are keeping up and surviving

Get complacent, be faded a lot
Becoming too comfortable and losing focus through frequent use of substances

It be bait, I be takin' my time
Being cautious and taking things slowly to avoid being lured into negative situations

Shit was sacred, you trade it for guap
Something important was exchanged for money

Been with Jada and Red is inside
Having connections with influential people in the music industry

Did me lame, but it's better for size
Someone betrayed me, but in the end it worked out for the better

You could change, it could never surprise me
Being open to change and growth in oneself and others

All this pain of it dead is behind
Having overcome past struggles and moved on from them

It was strange, but it never defined me
Not allowing past experiences to shape or control one's identity

Overcame, ain't no regular guy
Having surpassed challenges and become exceptional

Think I blame it on reckless environment
Attributing one's past mistakes or challenges to a negative environment

I forgave, had to set it aside
Choosing to forgive and move on from past grievances

Built a wave, I say I inspired it
Creating a positive energy or momentum and taking credit for it

Ain't the greatest at taking a line
Not being skilled at recreating the work of others

Just counting the days 'til retirement
Looking forward to a time of rest and relaxation in the future

It ain't paper, I pray it aligned
One's success or wealth is not solely based on monetary gains, but rather on alignment with one's values and goals

No amount being paid, we pirate it
Rejecting the idea that everything must be monetized and instead taking things for free if necessary

All that doubt, and I hate to remind
Acknowledging the presence of doubt and not wanting to dwell on it

I'm the outlet, I came through the wiring
Being someone who can provide an avenue for others to express themselves

All that mouthing be aimless and tired
Talking excessively without purpose or direction can be exhausting and unproductive

Getting vouched, but ain't meet the requirements
Being endorsed or recommended, but not necessarily being qualified

They kept doubts, and my name in the fire
Others had suspicions or negative opinions about me, and spread them to others

We conspire, shaking the vibe
Working together to create a certain energy or atmosphere

In the Heights, baked with AKAI
Being in a certain location while using a specific piece of music production equipment

It be slimy and shade intertwined
There is a sense of deceitfulness and manipulation present

If you gave me all
If you were to completely give yourself to me

What do I do?
Asking for guidance and direction in the potential relationship
