They wanna know why I do it, it’s actually pretty simple Look, I do it for the music, I do it for the love I do it cause my purpose is way more than just because I do it for the soul, I do it for the funk I do it for the people who used to say that I’m a punk I do it for the haters, I do it for the fans I do it for the people who helped make me who I am I do it for everyone, the world, the water up to the sand The quiet kid in your school who wanted to be the man I do it because I can, I do it because I love it There ain’t a better feelin’ than to know you’ll feed your stomach Cause now this my job, this what I live for Every day the best day ever, still tryna get more So I never take a day off, every single game, gotta treat it like a playoff Buckle up, we bout to take off, heart and soul, movin’ so I just smile and remember what I do it for
[chorus] Everybody wanna know what you doin’ and why you doin’ it We livin’ life, so get used to it You know just why I do it, you don’t even gotta ask It’s bigger than the fame boy, deeper than the cash x2
I do it for the generation, all the kids who bout to grow and run shit With their thumbs in the air and a blunt lit Feelin’ like I can do it in my sleep But i’m working getting better thinkin bout whats out my reach Hoping that its nothing, but i’m hoping for discussion How I crashed into the game and nobody seen me comin’ They saw a youngin’ who just love what he does A brain behind a face and a heart behind a buzz I keep it real, ain’t got a reason to lie Just mention me when your favorite MCs come to mind I bless a rhyme if you give me the time, in Pittsburgh I just want my whole city behind me Cause we is who I do this for Soundtrack to life, this a movie score Buckle up, we bout to take off, heart and soul, movin’ so I just smile and remember what I do it for
Chorus X 2
The third verse, yeah I do it, I ain’t done yet Do it for the crack of dawn and every time the sun set You played all of your cards and got none left I’m stayin’ smart, strategic for what come next Yeah I’m ready for it, I’m payin’ heavy for it That’s why I do what I do and I ain’t never bored If life a game I got a better score I guarantee you I’ma do this right here
I do this for the feelin’ that you get when you hear the perfect beat You know exactly what to say and all your homies holler ‘preach!’ We bout to take off, heart and soul, movin’ so I just smile and remember what I do it for
