Mick Jenkins - What Am I To Do? lyrics

[Intro] Well I sbet ya Well I bet ya Well I bet ya Well I bet... [Verse 1] Ali's jabbin' them sh** feel like hooks The less you got stuffed in your pocket books The more these policies just sound like crooks They give me sloppy looks They gave us nothing, had to hustle same way coffee cook Early morning grind trying to help these n***as wake up Etch A Sketch flows, I got the sh** to shake up n***as switching clothes n***as even switch their face up But these clowns could never really switch their make up Family's in your genes f** is that, Mesquite? My triple beam onto bigger schemes I'm on these waves Don't expect a hand clap cause you swim upstream I'm expecting sand traps, I be in the green If we talking green backs I'm back in the black Been having the formula since Similac Delicate flows under heavy metal bars but they're still intact What's a n***a to do? When you call the police but the trigger's on you sh** crazy man [Chorus] What's a n***a to do? Cause I be streaming black they'll beat me to blue Put it on TV then tell you what's true What's a n***a to do? What's a n***a to do? When you call the police but the trigger's on you [Verse 2] Pull up on 'em shining CeCe Winans with the C notes Redefining everything the black man denotes I could devote time How many times have we rewrote lines to get it perfect Miss me with inertia I'm on dirt You gon' need a**umptions, almost certain My a**ertion we gon' see if you got gumption We gon' see if you gon' play it smart or you gon' be on dumb sh** Wrong answer, we go dumb sh** Slow you up on some speed bump sh** On some ski jump sh** I'm taking flight cause all my flows cold [?] I never blow smoke unless it's unleaded I guess you won't know my worst No unedited stress Go on wax, I mean [Chorus] What's a n***a to do? When you tell 'em who you is and they be like "Who?" What's a n***a to do? Yeah, what's a n***a to do? Cause I be streaming black they'll beat me to blue Put it on TV then tell you what's true What's a n***a to do? What's a n***a to do?
