GAT TURNER:
Why We Do What We Do
I rhyme cuz I hurt, Man I rhyme out of pain, ----- Got me Dancing in the Dirt & Got me Singing in the rain
Man I rhyme out of love, I rhyme out of hate, ---- Sometimes I take a look above ask the Father ‘bout my Fate
But He just make a n***a wait
So I do's it ‘til its' done, un-til the battle's won, Guess I'll do it ‘til He come back
I do it cuz I can, I do it for my fans & sometimes they catch me in the street & tell me “Gat u the man!”
God your lyrics made me pray & they made a n***a day
They Say they be bringing back the track and be like, “what that n***a say”
Your lyrics made a n***a cry and made a n***a try
That's why I do it for the people and I'll do it til I die
I don't do it cuz I'm broke, I don't do it cuz I'm folks… I do's it, cuz it's the only way I know to cope
I do it cuz these verses are my divine purpose, so I do it out of service, &I do it ‘cuz otherwise a n***a would be worthless

When u makin history /it seriously should be documented / so when we spit it/ its like verbal hieroglyphics / we do it for the lil bboys / bad likea buncha Bruce Leroys / ina cipher afterschool droppin freestyle j**els/ this for the intellectual few and the straight up fools/ we do it for the profile victims/ innocent stereotyped children of the matrix/ occupy tha vacant try to not say sh**/ when other muthaf**as wanna judge you / don't let it budge you/ now we move smarter / cuz we fathers/ we do this for our legacy /for real we ridin dirty cuz we ain't scared of no felonies /what is u tellin me /if it ain't the truth/ its still each one teach one that's what we enforce to the youth. Its why we do what we do w/ this miracle experience/ u might call it life /its the reason why we write / that's why we do what we do 2x
