What I Gotta Do

Lyrics

[Intro: Starlito] I was talkin' to Bigga Rankin the other day and you know he hella animated but it came out super genuine. He like man you gotta put on 'cause this for that nigga who mama was listening to you and he ain't know who you was, way back then I was told it's a mandatory minimum that I go as hard as I possibly can 'cause it's some that just don't know that, you know, even though I been at it for a long time it just keep getting better [Verse 1: Starlito] I'ma be a legend when I dip, just like Pimp Cross my heart and I put that on this heater on my hip Hope to die smokin' fire, in the hotel eating shrimp With a towel under the door, and a thick red ho That I can be myself around and give me head slow You say that's a lot to ask for? yeah I know I'm just living, I'm just grinding, might get inspired by my music Not to mention Chef produced it, he got the weed and drive Uber Gotta have a hundred hustles if you wanna run it up Never know when you might fuck around and run into a plug Coincidence, no such I don't believe in luck How can I give 'em my heart when I don't even give a fuck? [Verse 2: Don Trip] And I don't take my car out park until my babies buckle up I'm never on time but I ain't never in a rush Kalia asked me what I ate today, I told her not much So she gave me two dollars and told me she buying me lunch Boy you know I cried 'cause that shit touched a nigga I remember having cold cuts for dinner We had to homework at candlelight The gas stove warmed us up for winter My babies cannot relate though These days papa bring home the pesos I beg you please don't interfere I'll spray your ass faster than Maco You so worried 'bout Drake and J-Lo I'm more worried 'bout makin' payroll I been on mine since my son was a day old And I'm strapped like I joined the NATO I been all over the map The things I seen is sometimes hellacious But I do whatever I gotta to make sure I make it back to my babies Godspeed [Chorus: Starlito] I do what I gotta do, for the profit too Still move like they watching because I do got a lot to lose I do what I gotta do, we done shot at you I'm too busy watching you, that's why I don't watch the news I do what I gotta do, for the profit too Still move like they watching because I do got a lot to lose I do what I gotta do, we done shot at you I'm too busy watching you, that's why I don't watch the news [Verse 3: Don Trip] By any means, it's me against the world When times tight as a clam, I'm tryna squeeze out a pearl There's my silver lining, most my lines got tears behind 'em I been searching for a better way As you can guess still haven't found it My heart heavy, that's to keep me grounded That way I don't get too high That way I don't move too fast And time don't pass me by But all my faults don't tame my pride I can still look you in the eyes And tell you if I can go change it all I'd do it all for a second time, Godspeed [Verse 4: Starlito] Still watching you while you watching me Got a lot to lose but I gotta eat I ain't watch the news since they shot at me 2002 since I got some sleep Watch who you serve, they'll plot and creep Probably two-thirds of your top three, step brothers When me and Trip first met I was in a shootout 'bout a week prior In the studio with them assault rifles I'ma keep mine, gotta sleep by it On the beef diet, on the east side High speed chase like three times I ain't think about, didn't blink or doubt it If I get away I'ma be fine I'ma quit today, look at me lyin' Geeking hard with my teeth grinding Creepin' 'round with that P-90 For Cash Money or Yo Gotti The streets signed me Got a bunch of P's of some good weed For the cheap, I'm buyin' it Never fell off and I ain't declining since I decided [Chorus: Starlito] I'ma do what I gotta do, for the profit too Still move like they watching because I do got a lot to lose I do what I gotta do, we done shot at you I'm too busy watching you, that's why I don't watch the news I do what I gotta do, for the profit too Still move like they watching because I do got a lot to lose I do what I gotta do, we done shot at you I'm too busy watching you, that's why I don't watch the news
