Do As I Say - Deep Green

What I do with my day, I wouldn’t say that it’s cool

Youngun do as I say and don’t do as I do

Keep your head in these books and read

Knowledge is power, one day you’ll see

Just do as I say and don’t do as I do

You see the watch, you see the rings, you see the chain right

You must be thinking that this trapping makes a great life

That’s early morning till the late nights

You want advice about this shit then you should take mine

See I don’t recommend it bro

You’ll drive yourself crazy chasing never-ending dough

And I know you want the bitches and the drip

But when you’re legal you can’t lose 'em to these snitches and no pigs

Just listen to me kid, I know your frinds are doing it

But Mummy gave you life and sh ain’t tryna see you ruin it

I bet you think I’ve got the nerve to preach

Cause every single track I make, I say I’m serving fiends

Line’s always banging, you’ll never know silence

Kindness is weakness, you’ve gotta show violence

For me the trap was just a means to an end

But now these youngers looking at it like the streets is a trend

What I do with my day, I wouldn’t say that it’s cool

Youngun do as I say and don’t do as I do

Keep your head in these books and read

Knowledge is power, one day you’ll see

Just do as I say and don’t do as I do

See my freedom isn’t promised in this game

Can’t be moving like a novice in this game

This life breeds enemies, strife, greed, jealousy and hate

And they rarely put that homage on your name

Look you should go to college, learn a trade

Properly get paid, one day move your Mum off the estate

You heard me say I whip and turn one into three

But if I lose it in this pot, the plug will still want his P

You’ve gotta buy straps just in case the beef kicks off

Soon as you buss it, next day your door’s licked off

Start off as a worker, swear down you’re getting ripped off

On your way to O.T., olders got you shipped off

All these grands, I could say I’ll buy a house with it

But how will I account for it? It might as well be counterfeit

Believe me bro, it ain’t as smooth as it seems

And though I trap, don’t forget I’m still pursuing my dreams

What I do with my day, I wouldn’t say that it’s cool

Youngun do as I say and don’t do as I do

Keep your head in these books and read

Knowledge is power, one day you’ll see

Just do as I say and don’t do as I do
