Doin My Job Lyrics

Doin My Job lyrics

[T.I. - talking]
Ay I'm working here, know what I'm saying
Try to put
yourself in my shoes for a second
Its not personal I'm just sayin
though

[Verse 1]
Ay look
From when the moon came out 'till the sun
came up
I was supplyin the days when where they flame up
Our mamas
passing, by trying to explain us
Pissing in the bushes like they never house
trained us
But, try to understand thats how we came up
You get to know us,
you'll love us but you can't change us (naw)
Really we rather be rich and
famous
But in the mean time were forced to slang dust
'Dro or crack
cocaine, Penicillin to Rogaine
Ecstacy, Viagra, whatever'll get the dough
mayne
Im tired of people mis-representing my dough mayne
Oh you think we
out here killing for nothing, hustling
for no gain (picture
that)

[Hook] (sample playing in the background)
Hey man I'm just
doing my job
Hey lady, don't mind me I'm just doing my job
I don't wanna
make your life more harder, I'm just doin my job
You live here, I work here
I'm doing my job

[Verse 2]
I don't know if you don't know, don't care
or can't see
Every time something up in the hood, it ain't me
And I ain't
always up to no good and know the crease
And we ain't always gotta pass
through the hood without speaking (how you doing)
We ain't out here
threatining your lives, raping your children
We just out here staying alive,
making a million (you know)
Working hard, trying to survive chasing a
mill-ion
You hear us talking loud, just think of this is chamelion
React
to the situations, but accusations is still
??? and rise in your house, I
mean you just hurting my feelings (maaan)
We got lives, we wanna live nice
too
We got moms, dads, wise kids just like you
But I ??? a few, its hell
in high school
When your helping with the rent lights and the gas bill
too
So before you go judging us loving us won't hurt
Yeah under 25,
staying alive is hard work

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
And for you to see
what I'm saying, open eyes will help
If you could think about somebody
besides yourself
Why you pointing fingers at me, analyze yourself
Quit
all that chastising and try to provide some help
Instead of calling the law,
you busting my balls
With all due respect, we don't even need to be fucking
with y'all (maan)
And we can't help it cause it is like this
We don't
like it no more than you that we live like this
Hallway, stuck in the grass
summertime to wintertime
Cutting school to sell fifty dimes by dinner
time
See everything we know we learned from the streets
Since thirteen
I've been hustling and earning my keep

[Hook]
