Dowutigotta Lyrics - Andre Nickatina

[EQUIPTO] 

Yeah, from my homies in jail, in the game to remain 

It bring a tear to my eye, when thinkin' what we all became 

I put it on the table when it came to my family 

The expression on my face don't mean that I'm angry 

I seen so many thangs, don't know what to expect 

And there'll be thangs that your weatherman couldn't predict 

Your world shift everyday, switch, things could get hectic 

A single incident can change your whole perspective 

...(?) life, roll dice, and continue to ...(?) 

Move fast, ain't no time to wait for funk to settle 

I'm at my prime, in order there's a time and place 

A night, escape, look deep into my mind state 

Homies roll aimless, the attitude we hold is contagious 

Yet you can't blame us on how tight the game iz 

Laced is how we do the beat, or rollin' through the street 

Handle business, pullin' all nightas, and losin' sleep 

Do what I gotta do... 

"Hey, I'mma holla at y'all later, I'ma get at you 

I just gotta handle sumthin' real quick" 

[Chorus] 

Do what I gotta do... 

I'm out and about bouncin', makin' it all count when I 

Do what I gotta do... 

And I'm doin' it now because there'll never be a later 

Do what I gotta do... 

'cause life's so hard with no paper 

Ever since my homie Joe died 

he turned to his side and left the world (with) closed eyez 

Everythang got crucial, made it look easy, done perfectly, no lie 

Handle'n those(?), and emergency times 

No other dreams seemed bigger than chase 

you could tell it by the look on all my homie's face 

Ignore distractions 

Baby complainin' that I'm a player 

she can die with me now and she can live with me later 

In life, that's how I put it in the land of the crooked 

Give me anythang, I'ma break it down and jerk(?) it 

Into a grime, combine it with a fresh rhyme 

Gotta do it now (why?) there'll never be a next time 

Baby, gotta do what I gotta do 

It's all true, prepare for the scare 'cause anythang could fall through 

When there's no money and mean(?) muggin' 'cause you're so hungry 

In the game, high and relyin' on nobody 

I'm straight pro, give me a beat and I bust it 

And I'm out makin' moves, just me and my cousin 

It's all family, helpin' each other throughout the struggle 

We build a corporation, on years of hustle 

Now we 

[Chorus] 

Do what I gotta do... 

Stay alive in these times and write rhymes through hard times 

Do what I gotta do... 

I'm out and about bouncin', makin' it all count when I 

Do what I gotta do... 

Doin' it now because there'll never be a later 

Do what I gotta do... 

'cause life's so hard with no paper 

It's like 286 on a 747, I've never been so close to heaven 

A natural high, the best way to describe 

When you arrive, worldwide, with innocent eyez for the first time 

You'll turn back, recognize the beauty 

Accept responsibility, realize the duty 

I'm gettin' looney when I wanna 

and handlin' my business like there's no tomorrow 

I'm on a daily schedule, way too deep in it to let it go 

I bring out the little things like a telescope 

I gotta find my prize and go behind, no more stayin' on my mind 

Like my momma all the time 

Sayin' to get mine, parkin'(?) a low price 

Pay dues, (what?) it's like I've been rappin' my whole life 

Precise is precision, seen through one's vision 

Carry the crown, king, and everyone will listen 

I'm here to play my part, just play your position 

Provide my whole heart, forget recognition 

It's time, we all go beyond a situation and waitin' 

I'm way too tired to be patient 

Runnin' around and heart pacin' 

Under the ground, the studio still creatin' 

We makin' it through, and everything I've done and do for the crew 

And always kept it true, 

To do what I gotta do... 

(Chorus)
