What We Do

Do you, do I, do we
Ever stop to question why we do
What we do
For there are so many why's on this quest for truth
But you see the truth never lies
And they say that family cannot hide
And the honest truth is that
I see myself within you

So I ask, why the divides
Whether it's between shade or hue
Island pride, class, religion
Where one resides
For these post codes
We're ready to die
Die over bonds and ties
That are not as strong as the bond
That connects me to you

I can relate to your struggle
I overstand the hustle
But it's the music that moves
Your sixteen bars are more powerful
Than the pull-up

We document the times and
Enlighten the confused
Unified to rhyme, the future is ours
As long as it's a future that we produce
Remember, we are still brothers
Whatever path we choose
We're still brothers so respect due
It's what we do

That's what we do
I used to roll in a gang
Begging it with open hands
Got a grip on life
Looking at building plans
Gotta make a home for the fam
She wants to go out
She wants to roll with her man
She wants to hold his hands

Walk to the cinema everyone knows who I am
You ain't gotta cue up fam
Back in the day I was looking at Cripps like
Bra, that's too much beef
Then my little brother walks in my room like
Bra, you got all that free?
Shared all my money with family
'Cos they was there for me when I never had music beats

I thank those that saw me and wrote and said
Don't stop your music please
They already know
That's what we do
My occupation on the road
That's what we do
I'm coming through the radio
That's what we do
Sitting in the studio, yo
