Never do what they do |

Yo yo |
| [00:46.887] |
Lost generation fast paced nation |
| [00:49.426] |
World population confront they frustration |
| [00:51.863] |
The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken |
| [00:54.198] |
It's all contractual and about money makin' |
| [00:56.949] |
Pretend-to-be cats |
| [00:58.067] |
don't seem to know they limitation |
| [00:59.652] |
|
| [00:59.855] |
Exact replication and false representation |
| [01:01.480] |
You wanna be a man Then stand your own |
| [01:04.547] |
To emcee requires skills |
| [01:05.667] |
I demand some shown |
| [01:07.095] |
I let the frauds keep frontin' |
| [01:08.668] |
And roam like a cellular phone far from home |
| [01:11.207] |
Givin' crowds what they wantin' |
| [01:12.534] |
Official hip-hop consumption the fifth thumpin' |
| [01:15.462] |
Keepin' ya party jumpin' with an original somethin' |
| [01:17.756] |
Yo I dedicate this to the one dimensional |
| [01:20.499] |
No imagination excuse for perpetration |
| [01:22.490] |
|
| [01:22.897] |
My man came over and said |
| [01:24.217] |
Yo we thought we heard you |
| [01:25.652] |
Joke's on you |
| [01:27.021] |
you heard a bitin'-ass crew but um |
| [01:28.855] |
Never do what they do |
| [01:33.992] |
what they do what they do |
| [01:39.127] |
Never do what they do |
| [01:44.166] |
what they do what they do |
| [01:49.424] |
Thin is the line that run between love and hatred |
| [01:51.617] |
The game is ill-natured it's nothing sacred |
| [01:53.858] |
Aiyyo it's funny |
| [01:54.623] |
when I see some rap niggas due to make it |
| [01:56.605] |
A few'll blow up or go as far as they can take it |
| [01:59.247] |
My nine to five is just to hit ya; get the party live |
| [02:02.304] |
I'm black thought used to rap for sport |
| [02:04.194] |
Now the rhymes sayin' rent payin' life support |
| [02:06.233] |
I take it very seriously within this industry |
| [02:08.879] |
It's various crews that try to touch me |
| [02:11.684] |
But I come with the beautiful things |
| [02:13.261] |
and I bless the track plushly |
| [02:14.682] |
Around the world crowds love me from doin' tours |
| [02:17.233] |
Recipient of applause from all of you and yours |
| [02:19.487] |
Creator of original sounds to send to stores |
| [02:22.393] |
You take home to absorb |
| [02:23.765] |
and sweat it out your pores |
| [02:25.827] |
Now who can stop the music |
| [02:26.842] |
runnin' through these veins |
| [02:27.707] |
Infinitely go against the grain; |
| [02:29.234] |
that's why my motto's to |
| [02:30.659] |
Never do what they do |
| [02:35.759] |
what they do what they do |
| [02:41.306] |
Never do what they do |
| [02:46.232] |
what they do what they do |
| [02:51.572] |
Livin' the life of limos and lights |
| [02:53.556] |
Airplanes and trains short days and long nights |
| [02:56.298] |
Keyboards and mics bass chords and drum kicks |
| [02:59.168] |
And my mental thick to hit my head like brick |
| [03:01.100] |
As I embark on a mission welcomin' to the dark |
| [03:03.697] |
When I first spark the arts when the listenin' start |
| [03:06.376] |
Open your head wide and let the thought inside |
| [03:08.946] |
My style fortified by all of Philadel-phi |
| [03:11.495] |
I've dealt more stealth than all the wicked wealthy |
| [03:14.098] |
Mentality undetectable by the naked eye |
| [03:16.747] |
Then I get paid when the record is played |
| [03:19.198] |
To put it short I want it made like Ed 'nuff said |
| [03:22.012] |
Then after that I'm puttin' on my cousin Hamed |
| [03:24.454] |
We let the ladies blend |
| [03:25.730] |
with the dark skin thoroughbred |
| [03:27.259] |
And discover my level is that of no other |
| [03:30.014] |
And Roots crew reign official and true |
| [03:31.601] |
while I'm continuin' to |
| [03:33.084] |
Never do what they do |
| [03:38.097] |
what they do what they do |
| [03:43.482] |
Never do what they do |
| [03:48.206] |
what they do what they do |
| [03:53.796] |
Never do what they do |
| [03:58.533] |
what they do what they do |
| [04:04.220] |
Never do what they do |
| [04:08.842] |
what they do what they do |
| [04:14.479] |
Never do what they do |
| [04:19.455] |
what they do what they do |
| [04:24.892] |
Never do what they do |
| [04:29.725] |
what they do what they do |
