Talib Kweli - What Can I Do lyrics

(Sample) [Talib Kweli] [Verse 1] (Swim in the ocean And thoughts remain to sail on the sea, yeah What can I do, but what can I do) Yo, I try to get it here, get it there, everywhere (What can I do, but what can I do) So I spit it clear, persevere, interfere With the status quo the baddest flow throughout the hemisphere There ain't no pretenders here, only real men is here If you see a chick she down to ride like she wanna veer Better yet the Queen of Sheba, Aretha, Queen Latifah I'm the boss like Aneisha Reefa (female) Boss? You ain't my boss? Baby You don't run sh** up in here I don't know who the hell you think talkin to I'm gonna take that sh** and bounce I don't know who the hell you think you are I ain't got no boss See I call her baby like she 3 years old When she fully grown so these dudes is pullin' on She in the club like a stone cover, fully blown Speaking in the girly tone even though you got a attitude I can't stay mad at you [Hook] (We'll have our quarrels,) word (and you will upset me Tell me what can I do, but what can I do) Nothin', cause if I said that I don't need you I was frontin' so (What can I do, but what can I do) Nothing, every time you said you leavin' you was bluffin' [Verse 2] Back in the days I had dreads like Lil Jon And got numbers armed with nothin' but a pen and a little charm Everything I'm saying be littered with observation So I stand up for the dudes with limited conversation You looking at a star, it's all in the constellation (female) Haha. You ain't no star Haha you losing your mind I don't know who told you that sh** She tried to tie me up but she can't tie me down She ain't never cried a tear but she cryin' now She tried to leave me, coming back cause she can't forget me I gotta be strong so she can't disrespect me [Hook 2] (We'll have our quarrels), word (and you will upset me, tell me what can I do, but what can I do) Uh uh uh uh yea (What can I do, but what can I do) Uh uh uh yea Let's, let's go uh Let's, let's go uh
