Lyrics

[Havoc]
Yeah... uh-huh {"what can I do?"}
Yeah yeah... (what's goin on man?)
(The fuck is goin on man?)
Yo {"what can I do?"}

To make that paper was the trait that I received at birth
Niggaz jealous and hatin on me {"what can I do?"}
When they plottin and schemin on me, the hammer just keep it on me
Fuck the fame and glory {"what can I do?"}
When your shorty gets nasty and horny, she all over me kid
You locked down, doin a bid {"what can I do?"}
With a nigga, tryin to take food off of my plate
And you know I got a kid {"what can I do?"}
When my stomach touchin, ribs showin
You off in the corner glowin {"what can I do?"}
Nothin else, but to take what's yours, convert it to mines
From the cash to the shine {"what can I do?"}
When shit is so fucked up, can't tell wrong from right
Right from wrong {"what can I do?"}
When they say, life is short, to you it's the cash
Todday it's seemin long {"what can I do?"}
Now I try to keep a positive look, my motto to jux
But can't seem to stay focused {"what can I do?"}
They say, an unoccupied mind's the devil's playground
So I sat and wrote this, to kill time {"what can I do?"}

[Prodigy]
Yeah yeah that's that gangsta shit son
I feel you my nigga.. (that's right that's right) {"what can I do?"}
(Infamous baby you ain't know?) we gon' do it like this
(That mobb shit nigga) {"what can I do?"}

But send niggaz to hell
They try and stop me from cashin in man {"what can I do?"}
But squeeze without thinkin, flip without warnin
I got the drop on 'em {"what can I do?"}
You know, give it my best, empty this clip
And if live and happen to snitch {"what can I do?"}
Except, find his home, bring it to his family
Should I shoot his moms? {"what can I do?"}
Fuck it, send him a warnin, lick that bitch
Let him know the shit is on {"what can I do?"}
It's not my fault, it's just the game we in
And when you violate codes {"what can I do?"}
But punish niggaz for they actions
My shit jam when I start blastin, no {"what can I do?"}
Just relax, take out the clip, fix that shit
Put the clip back and keep goin {"what can I do?"}
Man you gotta keep your thug showin
People take kindness for weakness and so {"what can I do?"}
But be a cold-hearted bastard
This world is fucked up, and that's how it go {"what can I do?"}

(Fuck that son, infamous nigga) {"what can I do?"}
(For two-thousands baby, y'all niggaz got your own) {"what can I do?"}
(Your little run, your little five year run ten year run)
(Y'all niggaz small time baby) {"what can I do?"}
(Small time baby, beneath us baby)

{"What can I do?"} {"what can I do?"} {"what can I do?"} {*echoes*}
