Do As I Say

What I do with my day, I wouldn’t say that it’s cool
Youngun do as I say and don’t do as I do
Keep your head in these books and read
Knowledge is power, one day you’ll see
Just do as I say and don’t do as I do
You see the watch, you see the rings, you see the chain right
You must be thinking that this trapping makes a great life
That’s early morning till the late nights
You want advice about this shit then you should take mine
See I don’t recommend it bro
You’ll drive yourself crazy chasing never-ending dough
And I know you want the bitches and the drip
But when you’re legal you can’t lose 'em to these snitches and no pigs
Just listen to me kid, I know your frinds are doing it
But Mummy gave you life and sh ain’t tryna see you ruin it
I bet you think I’ve got the nerve to preach
Cause every single track I make, I say I’m serving fiends
Line’s always banging, you’ll never know silence
Kindness is weakness, you’ve gotta show violence
For me the trap was just a means to an end
But now these youngers looking at it like the streets is a trend
What I do with my day, I wouldn’t say that it’s cool
Youngun do as I say and don’t do as I do
Keep your head in these books and read
Knowledge is power, one day you’ll see
Just do as I say and don’t do as I do
See my freedom isn’t promised in this game
Can’t be moving like a novice in this game
This life breeds enemies, strife, greed, jealousy and hate
And they rarely put that homage on your name
Look you should go to college, learn a trade
Properly get paid, one day move your Mum off the estate
You heard me say I whip and turn one into three
But if I lose it in this pot, the plug will still want his P
You’ve gotta buy straps just in case the beef kicks off
Soon as you buss it, next day your door’s licked off
Start off as a worker, swear down you’re getting ripped off
On your way to O.T., olders got you shipped off
All these grands, I could say I’ll buy a house with it
But how will I account for it? It might as well be counterfeit
Believe me bro, it ain’t as smooth as it seems
And though I trap, don’t forget I’m still pursuing my dreams
What I do with my day, I wouldn’t say that it’s cool
Youngun do as I say and don’t do as I do
Keep your head in these books and read
Knowledge is power, one day you’ll see
Just do as I say and don’t do as I do
