Y do I do this
So now lemme answer your question
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
I do wat I do because I'm young and ambitious
Want the girls, want the yacht, want the mansion, want the riches
Wat I start lemme finish
Critics mind yo business
Quit acting all ridiculous
Hating cause I'm winning
Can't explain the feeling like I'm caught in a daze
Got me trapped in a maze
Like a lion in a cage
I got issues I got rage
Get up out my face
Cause if I break loose I probably catch a case
Did that answer some of your questions?
I'm aware of my situation and always will be
But this is something that I love and besides experience is the best teacher
So lemme do me
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
Y, I, I, I Do Wat I Do
Ion know
They tell me to be humble and I hear the comments
But I'm about to break the mold like I broke a promise
They say enjoy life it gets annoying right
Imma take off like a rocket so lemme take flight
Ain't gone fuss ain't gone fight
Just let me live my life
Won't repeat myself twice
That's on gawd that ain't hype
Outta mind outta sight
Leave me alone bruh alright
Cause Imma be me regardless of the price
