Mobb Deep - What Can I Do lyrics

[Havoc] Yeah, uh-huh ("What can I do?") Yeah yeah (What's goin on man?) (The f** is goin on man?) Yo {"What can I do?"} To make that paper was the trait that I received at birth n***as jealous and hatin' on me ("What can I do?") When they plottin' and schemin' on me, the hammer just keep it on me f** the fame and glory ("What can I do?") When your shorty gets nasty and horny, she all over me kid You locked down, doin' a bid ("What can I do?") With a n***a, tryin' to take food off of my plate And you know I got a kid ("What can I do?") When my stomach touchin', ribs showin' You off in the corner glowin' ("What can I do?") Nothin' else, but to take what's yours, convert it to mines From the cash to the shine ("What can I do?") When sh** is so f**ed up, can't tell wrong from right Right from wrong ("What can I do?") When they say, life is short, to you it's the cash Today it's seemin' long ("What can I do?") Now I try to keep a positive look, my motto to jux But can't seem to stay focused ("What can I do?") They say, an unoccupied mind's the devil's playground So I sat and wrote this, to k** time ("What can I do?") [Prodigy] Yeah yeah that's that gangsta sh** son I feel you my n***a (that's right that's right) ("What can I do?") (Infamous baby you ain't know?) We goin' do it like this (That Mobb sh** n***a) ("What can I do?") But send n***as to hell They try and stop me from cashin' in man ("What can I do?") But squeeze without thinkin', flip without warnin' I got the drop on 'em ("What can I do?") You know, give it my best, empty this clip And if live and happen to snitch ("What can I do?") Except, find his home, bring it to his family Should I shoot his moms? ("What can I do?") f** it, send him a warnin', lick that b**h Let him know the sh** is on ("What can I do?") It's not my fault, it's just the game we in And when you violate codes ("What can I do?") But punish n***as for they actions My sh** jam when I start blastin', no ("What can I do?") Just relax, take out the clip, fix that sh** Put the clip back and keep goin' ("What can I do?") Man you gotta keep your thug showin' People take kindness for weakness and so ("What can I do?") But be a cold-hearted ba*tard This world is f**ed up, and that's how it go ("What can I do?") (f** that son, Infamous n***a) ("What can I do?") (For two-thousands baby, why yall n***as got your own) ("What can I do?") (Your little run, your little five year run ten year run) (Y'all n***as small time baby) ("What can I do?") (Small time baby, beneath us baby) [Repeats] "What can I do?"
