"What Can I Do" lyrics
Talib Kweli & Madlib Lyrics
"What Can I Do"
Swim in the ocean
And boats were made to sail on the sea, yeah
(What can I do?) What-what can I do?
(Yeah)
Yo, I try to get it here, get it there, everywhere
(What can I do?) What-what can I do?
So I spit it clear, persevere, interfere
With the status quo the baddest flow throughout the hemisphere
There ain't no pretenders here, only real men is here
If you see a chick she down to ride like she Guinevere
Better yet the Queen of Sheba, Aretha, Queen Latifah
I'm the boss like I need Shareefa
Boss? You ain't my boss. You don't run shit up in here. I don't know who the hell you think talking to. I'm gonna take that shit and bounce. I don't know who the hell you think you are. I ain't got no boss
See I call her baby like she 3 years old
When she fully grown so these dudes is pulling on
She in the club like a stone cover, fully blown
Speaking in the girly tone even though you got a attitude
I can't stay mad at you
We'll have our quarrels (Word)
And you'll upset me
(Tell me what can I do) What-what can I do
Nothing, 'cause if I said that I don't need you I was fronting so
(What can I do?) What-what can I do?
Nothing, every time you said you leaving you was bluffing
Back in the days I had dreads like Lil' Jon
And got numbers armed with nothing but a pen and a little charm
Everything I'm saying be littered with observation
So I stand up for the dudes with limited conversation
You looking at a star, it's all in the constellation
Ha-ha, you ain't no star. Ha-ha, you know you really losing your mind. I don't know who told you that shit. You really feeling yourself
She tried to tie me up but she can't tie me down
She ain't never cried a tear but she crying now
She tried to leave me, coming back 'cause she can't forget me
I gotta be strong so she can't disrespect me
We'll have our quarrels (Word)
And you'll upset me
(Tell me what can I do) What-what can I do
Uh uh uh uh yeah
(What can I do?) What-what can I do?
Uh uh uh yeah
Let's, let's go, uh
Let's, let's go, uh
