Album: Bringing Down the House
[Queen Latifah]
Southside, Northside
Eastside, Westside
Alright, alright
Alright, we ride
[Verse: 1]
Ainâ?™t the paper, that makes me daner
I just see the strangers they look at me stranger
They all give me more lip
So I give ya more music, more smackinâ?™
I stepped up to salary cappinâ?™
Passinâ?™ traffic and lookinâ?™ what happened
See how life takes a turn (uh huh)
More paper earned
Always poof, the caseâ?™s adjourned
I am what I am, I come from North
So crème de la crème (uh yeah)
And specially when, ya pray for my downfall
Thatâ?™s why I try to stay from round yâ?™all (letâ?™s go)
Till my days in the dark, they find me (letâ?™s go)
Like me the maids when I park and Iâ?™ll be
Still, doinâ?™ me, still so beautifully
I ainâ?™t brushinâ?™ off haters nothinâ?™ true to me
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
Go and do your thing
Cuz people will talk
Baby itâ?™s the way
The way that you are
Keep your head up to the sky
Confidence high
Theyâ?™re the ones that hate you
Cuz theyâ?™re the ones who make you
Go and do your thing
[Verse: 2]
Yo, yo, yo
Now just imagine how the worldâ?™ll be witchu cruisinâ?™
Sacked down, popped the blouse, get girls aroused
Popped out, shot the brows
Knocked the clothes and copped the house
Could it be that you feel you need me?
Huh, you love the way I flow cuz it comes to easy
When life imitate artex where the hatinâ?™ start
You gotta love dat, try to stay good at
Who knew Iâ?™d come this far
Who is this woman, a movie star?
My moms always told me I come from God
And the stress that come from yâ?™all keep taking
You be there keep waiting
Keep trying be patient
Yâ?™all wish I can stand united
And really fall in love in hearts provided
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
Go and do your thing
Cuz people will talk
Baby itâ?™s the way
The way that you are
Keep your head up to the sky
Confidence high
Theyâ?™re the ones that hate you
Cuz theyâ?™re the ones who make you
Go and do your thing
[Verse: 3]
Lately, it seems to me
That people ainâ?™t what they seem to be
They all want me torn up
I know thereâ?™s snakes in the grass
So I pay my staff, to keep the lawns cut
I see all the drama you bringinâ?™
I combine that with posit thinking
Iâ?™m me till Iâ?™m old and grey
When that day comes
Iâ?™ma teach my daughters do be the same way
I am the way I am, Iâ?™m from the hood
So crème de le crème
And specially when, ya pray for my downfall
Thatâ?™s why I try to stay from round yâ?™all (thatâ?™s why_
You never keep me down
So Iâ?™ll always be around, forget about it
Still doinâ?™ it, (still doin me)
So beautifully I ainâ?™t brushinâ?™ off haters nothinâ?™ true to me
[Chorus: Mario Winans X2]
Go and do your thing
Cuz people will talk
Baby itâ?™s the way
The way that you are
Keep your head up to the sky
Confidence high
Theyâ?™re the ones that hate you
Cuz theyâ?™re the ones who make you
Go and do your thing
[Ending: Mario Winans]
Just do your thing
Cuz people gonâ?™ hate you anyway uh
Just do your thing
Cuz people gonna hate you anyway uh
Just do your thing yâ?™all câ?™mon
Can nobody stop me yâ?™all câ?™mon
We Yellow City yâ?™all
We gonâ?™ keep doinâ?™ our thing, keep doinâ?™ our thing
