Doing My Thing
Yo, people got the nerve to be calling me fake,
I'm out here doing my thing, so I don't understand all of the hate.
Is that jealousy building up that I sense?
You're stuck in the meadow while I'm over the fence.
I'm living this life like I should, it ain't about the fame,
But it's okay if along the way everyone learns my name.
'Cause you can never ever have one too many friends,
Just gotta learn to tell the real from the pretend.
Yeah, and I only get one life and I'm doing my thing like I should,
I just don't get why you're judging, it'll never be understood.
But I ain't wasting my time listening to what you have to say,
While you're killing precious seconds, I'm making someone's day.
And I'm not worried about the money, I could care less,
I'm just being myself, that's life's test.
So while you're planted in that chair typing away with hate,
I'm in a different country, city, state, making my life so great.
Yeah, I don't work that typical nine to five,
I write raps and songs, it's not cash flowing but I make it survive.
'Cause what people fail to understand is it's not all about that bread,
Whatever hobbies make you happy, do that instead.
And yeah, I write how I feel and what others think,
Jot it down on paper and make it permanent with ink.
It's not a full-time job as some might speak,
But if I'm changing the world with words, then I've had one hell of a week.
Yeah, and I only get one life and I'm doing my thing like I should,
I just don't get why you're judging, it'll never be understood.
But I ain't wasting my time listening to what you have to say,
While you're killing precious seconds, I'm making someone's day.
And I'm not worried about the money, I could care less,
I'm just being myself, that's life's test.
So while you're planted in that chair typing away with hate,
I'm in a different country, city, state, making my life so great.
See, I'm just living my life day by day,
Ain't rich like Gates, but I do with the pay.
And I don't give a damn about what you have to say,
I work hard to be where I'm at and I'll keep doing it my way.
So say what you want, I'm still gonna stay;
Up on this stage where this image I portray.
Rhyming and flowing are these skills I display,
Because I'm doing it for all the people who love to see me play.
Yeah, and I only get one life and I'm doing my thing like I should,
I just don't get why you're judging, it'll never be understood.
But I ain't wasting my time listening to what you have to say,
While you're killing precious seconds, I'm making someone's day.
And I'm not worried about the money, I could care less,
I'm just being myself, that's life's test.
So while you're planted in that chair typing away with hate,
I'm in a different country, city, state, making my life so great.
Man, I'm just doing my thing. (Uh)
Yeah, you know I'm just doing my thing...
