Doin' My Job Lyrics

[T.I. - talking]

 Ay I'm working here, know what I'm saying

 Try to put yourself in my shoes for a second

 Its not personal I'm just sayin though

 

 [Verse 1]

 Ay look

 From when the moon came out 'till the sun came up

 I was supplyin the days when where they flame up

 Our mamas passing, by trying to explain us

 Pissing in the bushes like they never house trained us

 But, try to understand thats how we came up

 You get to know us, you'll love us but you can't change us (naw)

 Really we rather be rich and famous

 But in the mean time were forced to slang dust

 'Dro or crack cocaine, Penicillin to Rogaine

 Ecstacy, Viagra, whatever'll get the dough mayne

 Im tired of people mis-representing my dough mayne

 Oh you think we out here killing for nothing, hustling

 for no gain (picture that)

 

 [Hook (sample playing in the background)]

 Hey man I'm just doing my job

 Hey lady, don't mind me I'm just doing my job

 I don't wanna make your life more harder, I'm just doin my job

 You live here, I work here I'm doing my job

 

 [Verse 2]

 I don't know if you don't know, don't care or can't see

 Every time something up in the hood, it ain't me

 And I ain't always up to no good and know the crease

 And we ain't always gotta pass through the hood without speaking (how you doing)

 We ain't out here threatining your lives, raping your children

 We just out here staying alive, making a million (you know)

 Working hard, trying to survive chasing a mill-ion

 You hear us talking loud, just think of this is chamelion

 React to the situations, but accusations is still

 We vulgarizing you how...hey man you just hurting my feelings (maaan).

 We got lives, we wanna live nice too

 We got moms, dads, wives, kids just like you

 But our options are few it hell in high school

 When your helping with the rent lights and the gas bill too

 So before you go judging us loving us won't hurt

 Yeah under 25, staying alive is hard work

 

 [Hook]

 

 [Verse 3]

 And for you to see what I'm saying, open eyes will help

 If you could think about somebody besides yourself

 Why you pointing fingers at me, analyze yourself

 Quit all that chastising and try to provide some help

 Instead of calling the law, you busting my balls

 With all due respect, we don't even need to be fucking with y'all (maan)

 And we can't help it cause it is like this

 We don't like it no more than you that we live like this

 Always stuck in the grind summertime to wintertime

 Cutting school to sell fifty dimes by dinner time

 See everything we know we learned from the streets

 Since thirteen I've been hustling and earning my keep

 

 [Hook]
