I Do It
I Do It: Embracing Purpose and Resilience
Lyrics
I said I do it, like Nike, I got plenty who don't like me
Expressing confidence and determination, likening actions to the Nike slogan "Just Do It." Acknowledging critics who dislike the speaker.
Won't admit it but they want it detrimental to my psyche
People secretly desire the speaker's success but won't admit it, potentially harming the speaker's mental well-being.
Honestly I do not care and that's because I'm in my bag
Indifference to others' opinions because the speaker is focused on personal success and achievements.
I let my people hype me up because I'm not the type to brag
The speaker is modest and lets others praise them, avoiding self-bragging.
I said I'm married to the music so I'm never going stag
Commitment to music, implying a dedication that prevents being alone (going stag).
Momma said "when you making riches don't forget about your rags"
Mother's advice to remember humble beginnings when achieving wealth.
I don't have no time for games but opportunity playing tag
No time for trivial pursuits; opportunities are pursued seriously.
And she told me "I was it!"
A female figure (or metaphor for success) recognizes the speaker's worth.
Ain't no addiction, better not quit!
Asserting commitment without addictive tendencies and a warning not to quit.
I'm in my niche, I'm in my zone
Being in a successful and focused state, experiencing personal growth and setting a positive example.
Look at me at how I've grown
-Look at me I set the tone
-Flying higher than a drone
-Trying to gain that Big Dawg status, out here chewing on a T-bone
Aspiring for a higher status ("Big Dawg") and overcoming challenges, referencing a cartoon character (Sandy Cheeks).
A squirrel trying to get a nut but ain't no Sandy in her Treedome
-I do it for myself, I do it for the Lord
Listing motivations: personal fulfillment, loyalty to a departed friend, and family support. Declaring an end to power struggles.
I do it for my homie who ain't here no more
-I do it for the fam cuz they always got my back
-I said it's over for ya power play, I'm out on full attack! Said
Asserting dominance and readiness for challenges.
I do it, I do it, I do it
Repetition of the determination to succeed and a call to explain the reasons for one's actions.
Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Yeah, sho' you right!
-Tell me who you do it for, tell me who you do it for!
Reiterating the question of motivations and the reasons for actions.
I do it, I do it, I do it
-Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Yeah, sho' you right!
-Tell me who you do it for, tell me who you do it for!
-This is word to my exes if you played me that's your loss
Addressing past relationships and claiming self-worth. Acknowledging fan support as a driving force.
Ain't being cocky I'm the best that you will ever come across
-Said my music spread like Mayo so I guess I got the sauce
-My fans told me "keep on working", got me doing somersaults!
-I'm out here grinding like a pro skater
Describing a strong work ethic, dealing with negativity, and emphasizing a supportive inner circle.
Make more money, that's more haters
-It's all good, Girl, I don't sweat them, they childish like Fourth graders
-My inner circle? Motivators
-Rising up like elevators
-Step at a time, escalator
-We cool over here, refrigerator
-I box him out like b-ball
Using metaphors from basketball and flying to convey resilience and relying on a higher power for justice.
I'm flying high won't free fall
-I said it once and I'll say it again
-I'm flying high won't free fall
-I entertain and teach y'all
-You a lightweight, no beach ball
-Look, I don't get no revenge
-I let God Almighty make the call
-I do it for myself, I do it for the Lord
Reiterating motivations for personal satisfaction, honoring a departed friend, and family support.
I do it for my homie who ain't here no more
-I do it for the fam cuz they always got my back
-I said it's over for your power play, I'm out on full attack! Said
-I do it, I do it, I do it
Repeating the commitment to success, inviting others to share their motivations, and affirming the rightness of their actions.
Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Yeah, sho' you right!
-Tell me who you do it for, tell me who you do it for!
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Imma tell you why
-I do it, I do it, I do it
-Yeah, sho' you right!
-Tell me who you do it for, tell me who you do it for!
