(Hook x2)
This is why I do it (do it, do it)
I do it (do it, do it)

They ask me what I do it fo'
Well, I'm bout to let 'em know


(Verse)
To be popular or to be cool
Not aiming for the charts, hitin' hard's where my tool

Do it cause it's in, er'body on the band wagon
I'm where they at(?), I don't even claim rabbit
I don't do it to be like to the deal, no

I do it to be right to the real
So, do it for my friends and the folks
Who I make an end and all of those

I make them known, hoe
Do it for the fake and all of those who wanna fake
Peep inside, ? desire, here to take my place

Do it for the people who consumed by the negative
Speakin' to the lies and they mind break the lottery
I do it for the ones feelin' stuck

Do it for the ones who gave up
Do it for the ones who don't dream and er'thing in between
And I do it for the ones that neva will believe


(Hook x2)
This is why I do it (do it, do it)

I do it (do it, do it)
They ask me what I do it fo'
Well, I'm bout to let 'em know


(Verse 2)
For the lil' girl wreckin' on the street

Call her !@^%, they ignore the fact that she's a queen
Pass her by, actin' like it's somethin' they don't see
I ride the mike, let her know just how much she really means

Do it for the people, addictions gotta hold up
Close to me, certainly, let 'em know they ain't alone
No, it's hard to walk away, no it's hard to tell 'em no

So why I got a mike is to help you let it go
I do it for the people who one time done ran away
From their life everyday, all the trouble on their plate

All the drama that they take, every bill they gotta pay
When they say, make away, God, help me, let them pray
And for those who need encouragement

Do my flow, Lord, help me reach them
And for those that need believin' in
I grab the mike and say it like you're the one I'm believin' in


(Hook x2)
This is why I do it (do it, do it)

I do it (do it, do it)
They ask me what I do it fo'
Well, I'm bout to let 'em know
