That's What I Do

(album: Classified - 2013)

That's What I Do
Yeah
Uh
Feelin kinda famous, yeah
That's What I Do

[Verse 1 Classified:]
I'm feeling kinda famous in my hometown
People hold me up, cause I hold 'em down
I never moved away from my family
And got the same friends as elementary
You know the name in the style
But don't know what I have
Cause in my circle of friends,
The one imposted and brag
Ended up insecure
Jealous of what others had
Glad I got raised a little different by my mother and dad
You know the name
I was a skater and a jock
Oh we showing off
My role-models were Wayne Gretzky and Tony Hawk
A "C"-student, I was average at best
Till I found hip hop and put my attitude to check
Then I found my identity, stopped caring about what anybody said to me
A lot of people make music to make you go forget about life
I make mine to hopefully help, you won't deal with it right
That's what I do!

[Chorus:]
You know it's all been done (that's what I do)
You know it's all been done (that's what I do)
How many times I got to tell ya (that's what I do)
I'm doing this with or without cha (that's what I do)
I went through all of it and back again (that's what I do)
That's what I do, no need to ask again (that's what I do)

[Verse 2:]
And I ain't playing by the books, I don't know how
I write my own story as it goes down
And you can either love me or hate me
No one cares about the ones who play it safely
Even my manager at parties more than I do
I usually leave the party by two
Go get high and hit the drivethru
I feeling kinda old for this shit
But the kid inside of me don't know when to quit
Huh, I bring the weed to the party cause of courteous
I started burning it cause I was curious
Now marijuana is my reality
But never touch the harder stuff cause my addictive personality
I know my limits, what I can and what I can't do
I understand myself so I don't underhand my health
It's sheer determination and true grit face it
Don't follow any bad places
That's what I do!

[Hook:]
How many times I got to tell ya (that's what I do)
I'm doing this with or without cha (that's what I do)
I went through all of it and back again (that's what I do)
That's what I do, no need to ask again (that's what I do)

[Verse 3:]
Yeah and it's true
I think about this music every day and night
I'm just passionate about the way I write
But every now and then I need to take a break from this
Cause I can't even raise my kid or take a shit without attempting to create a hit
My lifestyle ain't change since 19 and I'm,
Still at the liquor store getting ID'd with the,
Same crew, Jay brew, IV, and Mike B
Us losing touch highly unlikely
Ask the wrong person, I'm a has-been and done-with
Ask the right person, I'm a legend who runs shit
You either gonna love this or dump this
But all I can do is keep it 100
That's what I did!

[Hook:]
How many times I got to tell ya (that's what I do)
I'm doing this with or without cha (that's what I do)
I went through all of it and back again (that's what I do)
That's what I do, no need to ask again (that's what I do)

We know it's all be done before (that's what I do) [x2]
