T.I. - Doin My Job Lyrics
[T.I. - talking]Ay I'm working here, know what I'm sayingTry to put yourself in my shoes for a secondIts not personal I'm just sayin though[Verse 1]Ay lookFrom when the moon came out 'till the sun came upI was supplyin the days when where they flame upOur mamas passing, by trying to explain usPissing in the bushes like they never house trained usBut, try to understand thats how we came upYou get to know us, you'll love us but you can't change us (naw)Really we rather be rich and famousBut in the mean time were forced to slang dust'Dro or crack cocaine, Penicillin to RogaineEcstacy, Viagra, whatever'll get the dough mayneIm tired of people mis-representing my dough mayneOh you think we out here killing for nothing, hustlingfor no gain (picture that)[Hook] (sample playing in the background)Hey man I'm just doing my jobHey lady, don't mind me I'm just doing my jobI don't wanna make your life more harder, I'm just doin my jobYou 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 seeEvery time something up in the hood, it ain't meAnd I ain't always up to no good and know the creaseAnd we ain't always gotta pass through the hood without speaking (how you doing)We ain't out here threatining your lives, raping your childrenWe just out here staying alive, making a million (you know)Working hard, trying to survive chasing a mill-ionYou hear us talking loud, just think of this is chamelionReact to the situations, but accusations is stillburgarlizing and rise in your house, I mean you just hurting my feelings (maaan)We got lives, we wanna live nice tooWe got moms, dads, wives, kids just like youBut I choose a few, its hell in high schoolWhen your helping with the rent lights and the gas bill tooSo before you go judging us loving us won't hurtYeah under 25, staying alive is hard work[Hook][Verse 3]And for you to see what I'm saying, open eyes will helpIf you could think about somebody besides yourselfWhy you pointing fingers at me, analyze yourselfQuit all that chastising and try to provide some helpInstead of calling the law, you busting my ballsWith all due respect, we don't even need to be *****ing with y'all (maan)And we can't help it cause it is like thisWe don't like it no more than you that we live like thisHallway, stuck in the grass summertime to wintertimeCutting school to sell fifty dimes by dinner timeSee everything we know we learned from the streetsSince thirteen I've been hustling and earning my keep[Hook]
