Things I Do

[Scratches]
Stand still in the sand
I seen a lot of things
Y'all know what I mean

[Verse 1: A-F-R-O]
Hunnid proof, drinkin’, thinkin as the time pass
Some cry, and some laugh, some strive
And some die, and some last
Some don’t try, some whine, some shine
Some get high, sometimes some crash
One foot at a time, the spine hunchback
Had to uplift, had to overcome the dumb shit, time to run laps
I have to focus, and keep the fam close
Lay low, and let demand show
But enemies all talk, they walk the wrong walk, and they mad selfish
Niggas bark, outlined chalk, and they can’t help it
Cause bitch niggas yap, I see the color red
They do not get that FRO go out to break his back
I sit alone in my four cornered room staring at my notebook
Hoping I make my impact known
And it's the things I do
And it's the things I do

[Chorus 2x: Dahliam]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Things that I do
And what I go through
This life that I chose

[Verse 2: A-F-R-O]
They told me don’t hold back
When I’m on a journey to my bright dream
With a soul he don’t lack
When I got my purpose in this life, see
That I don’t fold flat
When they knock me off my feet like Raging Bull
When I’m on the rope, beaten black
But I got soul like Paid in Full
Watchin’ the grey clouds and rainfall
And I stay loud, stay proud, and stay strong
Cause I don’t have another option
Sometimes it feel like I be emceein’ for penny profit
Before I lose it all, I'ma choose to be smart
Using my art, while they doin' their very best to pick a man apart
I had to let it be known
The hard grind, and the work, ready, set it and go
The hard times, praying in church and searchin’ for a sign
Conversate with the Most High, while I nurture the mind
Consolidated my frame in the physical and the mental
Complicated them thangs, but doing my best to keep it simple

[Chorus 2x: Dahliam]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Things that I do
And what I go through
This life that I chose

[Verse 3: A-F-R-O]
Same ol’ shit, but it be a different day
No fib, while I’m on my destination to a winner’s fate
Turned into a grown man, wise with a different state
Knew not to hold back, fire at a different range
Pushed and kept kickin’ harder, steps gettin’ farther
FRO chillin’ with OG’s, and blessed with the honors
Enemies mouth-off low-key, but never did it bother
I vow to fight it off, after the fight involved with trauma
I can feel the highs and lows and animosity around me
Things changed in life, now I always check my surroundings
My words make my breath shake
Got bad nerves, my fingers tremble holdin’ my chest plate

[Chorus 2x: Dahliam]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Things that I do
And what I go through
This life that I chose

This life I go through

[Scratches]
Stand still in the sand
I seen a lot of things
Y'all know what I mean
