What It Do
PSC feat TI Lyrics

Yeah
Opening of the song

Now, now this is what it's come to, uh, shit
Commenting on the current state of things and expressing displeasure

Ain't it fucked up? This is what it's come to
Reiterating the dissatisfaction with the current situation

Huh? Ah
Interjections indicating confusion and frustration

And I guess this is what it's come to
Accepting the reality of the situation

In the fire I reside like the money do
Living dangerously like the wealthy

Niggas'll try wearin' wires at the rendez-vous
People will betray you for money

Don't nothin', kill niggas like needin' money do
Desperation for wealth can motivate people to do terrible things

For nothin', peel niggas, you sweet as honey dew
Even minor vulnerabilities can be exploited when people are desperate

Ain't never been ashamed to look off in the mirror
Being introspective and self-aware

At all my fears and imperfections, made 'em disappear
Confronting and overcoming fears and weaknesses

People weird, be projectin' all they insecurities
Other people often reflect their own insecurities onto someone else

Whatever they said he did
Referring to accusations against someone

He did that shit, I'm fuckin' sure of it
Believing the accusations to be true

Behind the foreign cars, clothes and expensive jewelry
Wealthy appearances can hide true intentions and character

I got a heart made of gold, motives be the purest
Maintaining good intentions despite external influences

And they say hell have no fury like a woman's scorn
Saying a scorned woman can be very angry and vengeful

Fuck that, I'm crankin' up the jury, who you lyin' on shawty?
Rejecting the notion of a vengeful woman, focusing on the truth

Extortion, is that what you got your mind on, shawty?
Questioning someone's motives in terms of seeking money

Tell 'em, "Get it how you live, shawty, I ain't goin' for it"
Encouraging someone to live honestly and reject dishonesty

I'ma take it all away, every day of the week
Vowing to remove dishonesty and corruption from the situation

Bet you thought this shit was sweet and I would pay in a week
Accusing someone of underestimating and misjudging the situation

And you could take this shit or leave it, I'm just sayin' my piece
Speaking truthfully and openly, regardless of others' reactions

Been look at all the traffic when you play in the street
Observing the consequences of dangerous and reckless behavior

Go put your face and reputation on it
Challenging someone to take responsibility for their actions

These kinda claims deserve more than anonymous
Suggesting that anonymous actions or accusations are insufficient

Provocative conversation, don't it?
Noticing that discussing controversial topics can lead to conflict

They say let's hit him with the one-two
Referring to a planned attack or ambush

You see how many niggas this been done to
Noting that others have been similarly victimized

Speak for the people, all you did, we can undo
Encouraging someone to speak up for justice and truth

Welcome to the COINTELPRO Part Two, damn, this is what it's come too
Referencing a controversial FBI program and lamenting the current state of things

Yachts on the Atlantic, please, let's not misunderstand it
Acknowledging wealth and success

I keep nothin' against they will, if they leave that's they're disadvantage
Not holding anyone back if they choose to not be involved

Bitch, I'm above and beyond, Libra scales to sit my ki' on
Boasting about personal success and balance

Heebies Jeebies be gone
Expressing a desire to eliminate negative feelings

And see all the bullshit she on
Criticizing someone's behavior

Approach me with that ho shit, high step on that ho like Deion
Asserting dominance and refusing to tolerate disrespectful behavior

I see chivalry and misogyny
Observing the contrast between traditional values and mistreatment of women

Is quite adjacent obviously
Noticing the close proximity of two opposing attitudes

The object of the game is kill the king
Recognizing the competitive and ruthless nature of society

So 'til the blade meet my neck on the guillotine
Being willing to face the consequences of one's actions

But I'ma be, standin' tall like a statue (huh)
Remaining strong and unshaken

Nigga fuck that, "he say, she say"
Rejecting rumors and hearsay

If the receipts say that shit ain't factual
Relying on evidence and facts

I was built for all this shit, God sent me here with a mission
Believing in a greater purpose and destiny

That's somethin' can't let no human or no demon interfere with
Maintaining focus and determination despite obstacles

In your feelings, can't conceal it
Noticing someone's emotional state

Broke your spirit, tryna heal it
Attempting to repair emotional damage

That's the real Atlanta
Describing the reality of life in Atlanta

Lot of rich white folks up in Buckhead, wanna steal Atlanta
Critiquing unequal distribution of wealth and privilege

Kill and destroy everything that feel Atlanta
Noting the potential harm caused by oppressive forces

Fuck that, I'm still Atlanta
Defending and remaining loyal to one's roots and community

Since Meech was puttin' up billboards, facin' double bodies
Referencing a specific event in Atlanta history

And 12 was askin' me about him but I stayed solid
Refusing to betray someone despite interrogation

They bust my house and found a gun, I was on probation
Describing a personal experience with law enforcement

All 'cause I wouldn't participate in they investigation
Refusing to cooperate with potentially corrupt authorities

I went to jail for a year, height of my career
Suffering consequences for staying true to oneself

But by the time I made it home, he got his case thrown out
Noticing that justice is not always served fairly or consistently

I told him then, "Maybe you should chill"
Offering advice based on personal experience

He said, "Listen Tip, if ballin' why they want me
Defending one's success and questioning why they are being targeted

I'ma be ballin' 'til they get me"
Refusing to give up or let fear control one's actions

Had to digest what he said, let it sit a minute
Reflecting on another's perspective

Had to respect it, shit, like it or not at least he committed
Recognizing and appreciating someone's conviction and dedication

Willing to face whatever consequences for his vision
Admiring someone's fearlessness and determination

While I'm up against some lyin' ass bitches
Facing difficult challenges and deceitful people

Damn, this is what it's come too
Reiterating the frustration with the current state of things
