C.T.E. nigga, you already know what it is (Yeeeeeaah)
Twenty one gun salute (Aye!), I 22's on my coupe (Let's go!)
I do this shit!
[Chorus]
Tha Chevy standin' so tall, I'm lookin' down on y'all
That's all I gotta tell you niggas, I do this shit!
My last time tellin' you niggas, I do this shit!
Twenty six's inches (Woo!) honey dew outside
Watermelon inside, that's a sweet ride (Daaaamn)
She diggin' me, checkin' out my paint job
And I'm diggin' her, trynna get a blow job (Yeeeeeaah)
And my job's hard, I keep (Hard Work) (Aye!)
Yeah it's hard now, but it was soft first (Gyeah!)
You know, off white, flaked-up, just pale
Chyna Whyte, oil base, talkin' fish scales (Hahaaa)
S550, yeah tha brand new Benz
Bought two tha same color, I call 'em (Siamese Twins) (Daaaamn)
You can't outshine me, you can't outclass me (Nah!)
My wrist so shine, but my neck so flashy (Hahaaa)

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
I'm with a gang of ho's, we at tha (Pappadeaux) (Gyeah!)

Ran through a hundred grand, call it a waste of time

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
In Jeezy's song "I Do," the rapper boasts about his luxury lifestyle, flashy cars, and expensive jewelry while reiterating the phrase "I do this shit" to emphasize his mastery of it all. The song's introductory lines are dedicated to a producer called Speedy, who is credited for creating the beat, before Jeezy jumps into the first verse.

He raps about being with women and enjoying sweet rides, even contemplating getting a blow job in the process.
