The lyrics to T-Connection's song "Do What You Wanna Do" serve as an anthem for living life on your own terms, resisting the pressures of others to conform. The song speaks to those who feel under attack by those around them, encouraging them to not be controlled by others and instead live freely. The lyrics suggest that one's purpose is to live life as they please and to be true to themselves, regardless of outsiders' expectations. The chorus repeats the mantra of being one's judge and jury, a call to independence and self-determination. The repetition of the phrase "Do what you wanna do" reinforces this message throughout the song.
