Don't Do That, Man
• Written by Apostrophe
// [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.
