Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
I do this shit!
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
I'm with a gang of ho's, we at tha (Pappadeaux) (Gyeah!)
Chevy sittin' on them large pies, call it (Domino's) (Woo!)
Or maybe (Pizza Hut), or even (Papa John's)
They was outta Crys' (Nah), so ordered one
I was like "What!?", call me Lil' Jon (Yeeeeeaah)
Keep it so clean, so I'm fuckin' Don (Aye!)
I'm tha shit biaatch, that's right - tha fuckin' bomb!
Two hundred carats, now that's a fuckin' charm (Daaaamn)
And this my (Lucky Charm), and I ain't talkin' corn flakes (Nope!)
I know Philly niggas and they ain't sellin' cheese stakes (Nah!)
But if ya bread straight, you can get the whole eight (Yuh!)
You don't act right, they comin' for your whole safe
I do this shit!
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Them bricks wrapped up, and I'm strapped up (Yuh!)
Nigga act up! Get capped up! (Brat!!)
See this big toy? Play if you wanna nigga
Head over here, you just around the corner nigga (Woo!)
I'm a heavy-weight, never boxed one round (Nah!)
In and outta state, never lost one pound
Nigga I'm crazy straight (Gyeah!), I flip crazy weight (Aaaye)
Now I flip tha mic', and that's crazy riiight?
((Trap or Die) nigga!) That's my favorite tune
I'm always in tha kitchen, that's my favorite room (Hahaaa)
And I'm bakin' mine, call me Duncan Hines
Ran through a hundred grand, call it a waste of time
I do this shit!
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
In Young Jeezy's song What I Do, he's back on the scene and ready to show everyone what he's got. He kicks off the verse bragging about how long it's been since he's been in the game, and then declares that people better be ready for his return. The chorus talks about how people react once they hear his music, with niggas and bitches alike getting hyped and ready to party. Jeezy flexes his wealth, talk about how much money he's got, which seems to be predominantly earned through illegal means. He then goes on to describe a wild party scene where people are drinking and smoking, and he's the life of the party.
The song is full of energy and bravado, with Jeezy trying to assert his dominance in the rap game. Through his lyrics, he wants to show that he is a force to be reckoned with, and he's not afraid to flaunt his riches and success. What I Do is a song about confidence, power, and living the high life.

Yeah, it's been a long motherfuckin' time
It's been a while since I've released anything new, but now I'm back and ready to go
Just like that, niggas don't know how to act
As soon as I drop a new song, people get wild and start acting crazy
Bet when them niggas hear this they get to grabbing they strap
When some guys hear my song, they feel the need to grab their guns
I said, now just like that, bitches don't know what to do
Women get so excited and don't know how to handle themselves when my music starts playing
And when we hit up the club, you know them broads coming through
When we go to the club, women come flocking to us
I told her hit up her girl, tell them that they can come too
I instructed my girl to invite her friends to the party as well
Bitches they screaming, I can hear bitches calling
Women are screaming and calling out for me
Swear these niggas a trip, as you see I ain't falling
Some guys try to mess with me, but they can't bring me down
Sexy, no alcoholic, but she drink like a toilet
This woman drinks a lot and doesn't seem to get drunk easily
Even called me a plumber, she like the way that I pipe it
She compared me to a plumber and how I'm good at laying pipes
I'm talking so much white, you would think I was racist
I talk about cocaine so much that it might sound like I'm prejudiced against other races
Desert Eagles, they twins, I call em Cain and Abel
My guns are so similar and deadly that I named them after the biblical brothers Cain and Abel
Them cigarillos so big, them bitches look like they logs
The cigars we smoke are large and almost look like small logs
Why I'mma stand in the section when I can stand on the sofa?
I don't want to be limited to just one area of the party, so I stand on the sofa to get a better view
So y'all guess what I does, you never say I ain't told ya
I do what I do and you can never say I didn't warn you
