Don't Do That, Man
- //[CHORUS]
- Looking up, and down, don't do that man
- You whistle, "ooh" and "ah", don't do that man
- You gonna be the guy, to do that man
- Well here's some new advice, don't do that
- Don't do that.
- //[VERSE ONE]
- Yo, they told me that I was gonna be
- A crazy nigga with a crazy personality.
- And I'm synonymous with insanity
- But remember that my humanity's still reality
- You lost it, fuckin years ago,
- Braggin' about dough and calling ladies hos
- And I don't know whether you stole the show
- Calling your middle class neighbourhood "ghetto"
- You livin' in the moment, what about tomorrow?
- Glorifying murder, what about your sorrow?
- Acting as if you lead, when you really follow
- But you're too busy specifying about how you don't swallow
- Does it matter? No, really, does it fucking matter?
- No matter what happens, we're all just made up of matter
- But never mind, let's just get right into the matter:
- Stop acting like you're a fucking gangster.
- //[CHORUS]
- Looking up, and down, don't do that man
- You whistle, "ooh" and "ah", don't do that man
- You gonna be the guy, to do that man
- Well here's some new advice, don't do that
- Don't do that.
- //[VERSE TWO]
- Little boy, six years old, lying on his bed,
- Words in his head that he can't comprehend,
- His father's acting regretful, but is this just pretend?
- Blood on the floor, the boy tried to prevent.
- His mother's down, it's the end of her life.
- Last moment spent screaming, staring at the knife
- What a father, decided to murder his wife
- And he stands and stares as he tries to apologise.
- Maybe it's too late, probably so
- Too caught up in the moment, no time to let go
- He doesn't know what is happening, how would he know?
- Daddy's caught up in the gangster life, oh fucking no.
- Perhaps before you start, consider emotions
- Tied up to a life, call it fucking devotion
- You're just one fish in an ocean
- Of other fishes, different feelings, different notions
- //[CHORUS]
- Looking up, and down, don't do that man
- You whistle, "ooh" and "ah", don't do that man
- You gonna be the guy, to do that man
- Well here's some new advice, don't do that
- Don't do that.
- Looking up, and down, don't do that man
- You whistle, "ooh" and "ah", don't do that man
- You gonna be the guy, to do that man
- Well here's some new advice, don't do that
- Don't do that.
- Looking up, and down, don't do that man
- You whistle, "ooh" and "ah", don't do that man
- You gonna be the guy, to do that man
- Well here's some new advice, don't do that
- Don't do that.
