floe - reason i do it lyrics

[verse1]
born in the motherland we never been slaves we ain’t come on motherships
i don’t trust many the envy these days got n+++++ on other s+++
ask me i why you still rap
i just tell em get of my d+++
all my homies yea they feel that
they be like floe talk yo s+++
anybody who ever shared a song or tape
i’m thankful to this day
i just wanna be one of the names
they bring up when they debates as one of the greats
why they say that it’s love when they know that it’s hate
had to get them out the way
i just call it shedding weight
i think you should call it a day
them records ain’t getting no play
s+++ pops trynna tell me how to live
mama ask me when i’m having kids
can’t focus on the small things when you trynna make it big
that’s the way that it is
do you know the feeling
of trynna make people proud
who always seem to doubt
don’t they know what i’m ’bout? s+++
all these sleepless nights
i sit and i write
feel like i’m running in place
anybody that is hustling
yea i know ya can relate
believe in timing and fate and
keeping the faith
cuz god got us
the budda help to root out our problems
thanful i always knew my father
thankful the bro made me godfather
[hook]

that’s the reason i do it
some want the fortune and fame
porche or a range
floss with a chain
they forced you to change
that’s how you got lost in the game
that’s the reason i do it
i want my name with the goats
won’t give up my soul
so when i’m ghost
they’ll say that boy was cold
that’s on the bros
that’s all i know
that’s the reason i do it
feel i got something to prove
compared to a few
been through a lot but we still on the move
say i’m the one like what comes after two
ain’t got the henny that remy’ll do
lately i don’t hang out with too many dudes
n+++++ be shady like benny and crew
real recognize when you keeping it true
that’s the reason i do it
[verse2]

do it for homies that’s locked
you think that it’s sweet
ima show you should know it’s not
i’m wishing ya stop
telling them stories and making up plots
everyone dealing or k!lling or stealing
they snitch on theyself
so the jails keep on filling
with people that look like my kin
color my skin i guess it really does offend
i heard the devil be calling
once you pick up forever be ballin
if you don’t then you’ll never be part of
industry that so many get caught up
i can make sure you’ll never be thought of
dont care how many kids you father
more the better let’s make this sh+t harder
come with me guarantee you go farther
all these nights you was writing on ya own now they own all the rights to your songs
whole time you been getting played
now they taking half of everything you own
but you came up got you chained up
but it’s temporary till they change up
and they waiting for the next name up
that’s a fact tho
everybody wanna rap tho
some see it as a quick l!ck
just to get rich till they sh+t drop
then they s+++ bricks and get dismissed
by some witless little critics
who don’t really care about the art
all they do is pick apart something that you know is from the heart
[hook]

that’s the reason i do it
some want the fortune and fame
porche or a range
floss with a chain
they forced you to change
that’s how you got lost in the game
that’s the reason i do it
i want my name with the goats
won’t give up my soul
so when i’m ghost
they’ll say that boy was cold
that’s on the bros
that’s all i know
that’s the reason i do it
feel i got something to prove
compared to a few
been through a lot but we still on the move
say i’m the one like what comes before two
ain’t got the henny that remy’ll do
lately i don’t hang out with too many dudes
n+++++ be shady like benny and crew
real recognize when you keeping it true
that’s the reason i do it
