Overall Meaning

The Fives's song "It's What You Do" is a song that talks about materialism and the superficial world we live in. The opening lines of the chorus "You know what it do, 16 hundred on the Rollie, And that's 20 on the shoes, You can't tell me that you love me, Baby girl you know we through," are about the rapper's prized possessions; his $1,600 Rolex watch and shoes worth $20. The rapper suggests that these material goods have caused the end of his relationship with the girl he loved, as she couldn't love him for who he was.


The second verse of the song talks about the rapper's physical relationships with women, saying that women come in twos for him but he can't choose between them. He also talks about being on a cruise and then moving to a private jet, further emphasizing his lavish lifestyle, before details of his sexual encounters are revealed. The rapper talks about his love for rough sex and leaving bruises, further emphasizing his love for all things "bad and expensive".


The song is an indictment of the superficial values that our society esteems and celebrates. It highlights the emptiness and the ultimate destruction that arise from basing our lives, ideals, and even relationships on materialism.
