[Lyric] I Do It For (Dee-1)

[Intro: Dee-1]
What do I do it for man?
Ya heard me?
Look

[Verse 1: Dee-1]
I feel like I'm the man bruh
The only dude that can spit this better than me don't even rap
And that's my grandfather
And even if it ain't right this is what I stand for
From LA to New York to Ghana to Alabama, (Yeah)
And I just let my pen free
Don't think just write, best advice of my life
Don't crawl take flight, homie aim for the planets
I'm a threat cause I'm young black and blessed with talent
And the boy's cute, c'mon don't front I'm from the boot
We don't run and shoot, we shoot if we don't run
It ain't frontin' but it's where I come from
Add it all up what's the outcome, Dee-1
Don't let your mouth run with my name in it we'll close it
'N' don't be fake we'll expose it, (Yeah)
My momma raised me real well and it shows it
I'm chosen and I knows it, not who gone oppose it
[Hook: Dee-1]
(And) I do it for Malcolm, I do it for Martin
I do it for soldier, I do it for Mack
(And) I do it for Big, (And) I do it for 'Pac
I do it for EVERYBODY ON THE BLOCK
(And) I do it for Charlie, I do it for William
I do it for Carter, I do it for Bryant
I do it for Prince, (And) I do it for Cousins
I do it for (You), I do it for the LOVE

[Verse 2: Dee-1]
I got a pocket full of money but I can't buy freedom
Freedom from the chains on my brain but I'm eager
Lost Saint Martin bad cause you know we need him
But in the meantime we need some better world leaders
Better church preachers, better school teachers
What's wrong? Are your arms too short you can't reach us?
And I know them haters hate when they can't beat cha
But all day I dream about success like Adidas
When I need a laugh I just call my boy Regis
When I'm feeling bad I just call my boy Jesus
(Hey) When I'm feeling bad I just call my boy Je
When I'm, When I'm feeling bad I just call my boy
When I'm feeling bad I just call my boy Jesus
Life is temporary don't get mad when I leave ya
Earth is just a short stop like the boy 'Geta
Do ya thing Doc', big homie I see ya
You done made it, now don't forget ya boys cause they need ya
He's the foundation of movements building
So I gotta spit it sick I'm the voice for millions,(That's Why)
[Hook: Dee-1]
(And) I do it for Malcolm, I do it for Martin
I do it for soldier, I do it for Mack
(And) I do it for Big, (And) I do it for 'Pac
I do it for EVERYBODY ON THE BLOCK
(And) I do it for Nelly, I do it for Nokin
I do it for Cory, I do it for Quentin
I do it for Raymond, (And) I do it for Breezy
I do it for Everybody in the STREETS

[Verse 3: Dee-1]
I have seen a lot less than a quarter century
Eventually I just want to teach elementary
Maybe high school, coaching B-Ball on the side
Take 'em to the playoffs and still pay all my ties
(I) spray off the flies and the fleas every night
They attracted to the light, and believe I shine bright
But before they try to bite me, I ignite big flames
But they stay in my garden like Spike at Knicks games
I write and spit pain, for the brothers who can't
And live large for the brothers who can't
And I provide a father figure for the kids with single mothers who can't
Everybody say they real 'til you discover who ain't
(Yup Yup) I'm still great and I ain't even on my grind yet
Just consider me a star who ain't learn to shine yet
These are more than words, it's more than rap
(This here) This is my destiny I can't turn back
[Hook: Dee-1]
(And) I do it for Malcolm, I do it for Martin
I do it for soldier, I do it for Mack
(And) I do it for Big, (And) I do it for 'Pac
I do it for EVERYBODY ON THE BLOCK
(And) I do it for Blacks, (And) I do it for Whites
I do it for Christians, I do it for Muslims
I do it for Boys, (And) I do it for Girls
I do it for THE WORLD!
