"Do What I Gotta Do" lyrics

It seems like every time I come around
You say, "Jay, where have you been?"
'Cause you can't get your mind off all
The things you hear from your friends, whoa

Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause they don't understand
The things that we do, whoa
They don't even know me
How they gonna know what's best for you?

So I do what I gotta do
I'm gonna get through to you, I'm yours no doubt
I do what I gotta do
I'm trying to get through to you, right here, right now

Living in the city, it can be so hard to stay on your feet
Girl, that's why it's good to know that I'm there for you and you're there for me
While we're trying to get that paper, it's a struggle just for us to get by
But if we stick together, we gon' make it, baby, we'll be alright

I do what I gotta do
I'm gonna get through to you, I'm yours no doubt
I do what I gotta do
I'm trying to get through to you, right here, right now
I do what I gotta do
I'm gonna get through to you, I'm yours no doubt
I do what I gotta do
I'm trying to get through to you, right here, right now

I've got you, babe
I've got you, baby
I hold you down

And I do what I gotta do
I'm yours right now
I've got you, baby
I've got you, baby
I hold you down, yeah
I do what I gotta do, hey-yeah
I'm yours right now
