Do You

Uh turn me up some
Uhuh whoa
You gotta be in charge of your own destiny...
Be the master of your own fate...
Feel me, do you, do you

[Verse]
Yo searching for yourself in the world is pursuing illusion
Soul still as I moved through those packs and them units
School of hard knocks niggas was actually truant
Grew up Bronx blocks was like a movie with actual shootin'
Cops movin' ruthless far as a way out pave ya own
Escaping thru the music now different places they play my songs
Some call you Hollywood when really you just in ya zone
Others hold acknowledgement until ya name engraved in stone
Blowin' shelf alone vibin' to Mary J
Just look at my life I’m obliged to makе better ways
A conduit to higher planеs of existence
Done gone thru it but towards better days I persisted
That’s why I say stay chiseled or stay riddled
With them issues that seem chained to you, you change little
Do you know what awaits you when you break out that mold
Fresh starts recreate you greater now that’s the gold uh

[Chorus]
Choose you get to choose
How the story concludes
Is you gon settle have your efforts sub par
Or you gon tap into who you really are
I advise do you, do you, do you, do you

[Verse]
From the essence of this shit hallway sessions with the Piff
If you ain’t effing with this make the next left off the cliff
In the ghetto where they tried to tell us less ya jumper sick
Join the line of hustlers tryna get rich off the sniff
Gotta dare to be diff go against all the odds
Witnessed resilience moms never let us starve
The cheddar better carved spread amongst you and yours
Stay sharper than a sword on a Samarai
Don’t mean crash out just because you ain’t scared to die
I don’t check baggage just carry on Prepared to fly
None compare to I blessed to have ya own identity
Before alkaline was eating fries from Kennedy’s
Get nothin but love like Heavy D
Fronted now she sweatin' me
But I don’t put the wap over fetty b
Steadily I held my head thru the chaos
And control of my destiny I’ll never ever trade off

[Chorus]
Choose you get to choose
How the story concludes
Is you gon settle have your efforts sub par
Or you gon tap into who you really are
I advise do you, do you, do you, do you
