Explicit version of "What We Do..." lyrics
Man
It's that real s***
Even though what we do is wrong
We still hustle 'til the sun come up
Crack a 40 when the sun go down
It's a cold winter
An' I bet
Yes
Don't you know cops whole purpose is to lock us down
An' throw away the key?
But without this drug s***
Your kids ain't got no way to eat
(Even though what we do is wrong)
We still try to keep Mom smilin'
'Coz when the teeth stop showin' an' the stomach start growlin'
Then the heat start flowin'
If you from the hood
If a sneak start leanin' an' the heat stop workin'
Then my heat start workin'
Catch a nigga sleepin' while he out in the open
An' I'ma get him
(Even though what we do is wrong)
We gotta raise our kids while we livin'
Make a million off a record
F*** a Bentley or a Lexus
Nigga
But I'm never snitchin'
If my kids hungry
I'll be wylin' 'til they pick me outta line-up
Even though what we do is wrong
We keep the nines tucked
Wyle out
I'm not tryin' to visit the morgue
But Freeway move out 'til I sit with the Lord
'Til I get my s*** together
Freeway got it in like 10 in the mornin'
An' I can get it to ya like 10 while you yawnin'
Even though what we do is wrong
Still deliver the order
An' I ain't talkin' 'bout chicken an' gravy
I'm talkin' 'bout bricks 'o yayo
4 an' a halves of hash
Swing past us
She wanna roll wit' a thug that rap
He won't blast 'til my stacks in order
Man
(Even though what we do is wrong)
Hov' never slackin'
Faster than the Red Ghost
One time
Leader of the black gang
Bang like T-Mac
Gotta kill witnesses 'coz Free's beard's stickin' out
Y'all don't want no witness s***
Bullets breeze by you
(Even though what we do is wrong)
But I gotta feed Tianna
So I move keys
Rain
Slang
No
Gramps still prayin'
Like
Before they blow them horns like Coltrane"
(Even though what we do is wrong)
But still I cry tears of a hustler
Wipe tears from my mother
That's above us
Tuck kids under covers
S***
Tell Ms. Robert
That's like my brother
Any problems
(Even though what we do is wrong)
An' still we grind from the bottom
Just to make it to the bottom
Still gave back Marcy a 'Dollar Day'
Real gangstas make hood holidays
They ain't thank us but we still paid homage
Soul Food Sunday lookin' like Big Momma's
Tell the gang I never break my promise
(Even though what we do is wrong)
Even though what we do is wrong
