What to Do
S.H.E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I got to do
Got to do
Got to do
Got to do
Got to- aye
Gotta lock my head down
That's low key living
Acting outta pocket got their investments insufficient
Source a little change sacrifice it all to make a difference
Consistency in plays, that's the price ain't nothing switching
Yet I still make moves through life
My missions mandatory
What I made me do to prove myself
Ain't no one plan it for me
Tell me who you ever knew
To dwell outside these categories
Hidden through unique mind and self
Call me an allegory
Damn I know all these plans been a reach but I won't settle
Man it sounds like they sold their soul for cheap
And boast devil
I'll make my mark
Write these bars in concrete and sheet metal
Mix IQ with EQ add top pitch equal treble
I don't compete in leagues I've been my competition
What I approve is my influence
What I desires my condition
Tongue and cheek
Ironic the way I speak
With a stiff lip in position
I live through it
Wink at dark times to peak light
Night vision
Along the journey through the unknowns
My way to motivate
Road I takes vague a constant state for what's at stake
One way straight ahead
Risk that chance to keep my soul awake
Who else but me
Gotta see my name hold weight
It ain't no debate they been afraid
'Cause we ain't see things eye to eye
So level with me see it straight let me clarify
This is me vs myself versus I
Not me versus you
I can't lie it's just
What I got to do
Got to do
Got to do




Got to do
Aye

有這首歌才有現在的我。我是日本人。初中二的某一天的深夜偶然看了花樣少年少女,被ella的男裝演戲吸引了,之後越來越愛看台灣電視劇,愛聽台灣歌曲,愛台灣了。然後決定了在大學學中文進去了中文系。然後去了台灣好多次了。今年24了,依然至今還是愛台灣,謝謝S.H.E。很想念這首歌,來回味了。
