Madlib & Talib Kweli - What Can I Do Lyrics
(Sample) [Talib Kweli][Verse 1](Swim in the oceanAnd thoughts remain to sail on the sea, yeahWhat can I do, but what can I do)Yo, I try to get it here, get it there, everywhere(What can I do, but what can I do)So I spit it clear, persevere, interfereWith the status quo the baddest flow throughout the hemisphereThere ain't no pretenders here, only real men is hereIf you see a chick she down to ride like she wanna veerBetter yet the Queen of Sheba, Aretha, Queen LatifahI'm the boss like Aneisha Reefa(female)Boss? You ain't my boss? BabyYou don't run shit up in hereI don't know who the hell you think talkin toI'm gonna take that shit and bounceI don't know who the hell you think you areI ain't got no bossSee I call her baby like she 3 years oldWhen she fully grown so these dudes is pullin' onShe in the club like a stone cover, fully blownSpeaking in the girly tone even though you got a attitudeI can't stay mad at you[Hook](We'll have our quarrels,) word (and you will upset meTell me what can I do, but what can I do)Nothin', cause if I said that I don't need you I was frontin' so(What can I do, but what can I do)Nothing, every time you said you leavin' you was bluffin'[Verse 2]Back in the days I had dreads like Lil JonAnd got numbers armed with nothin' but a pen and a little charmEverything I'm saying be littered with observationSo I stand up for the dudes with limited conversationYou looking at a star, it's all in the constellation(female)Haha. You ain't no starHaha you losing your mindI don't know who told you that shitShe tried to tie me up but she can't tie me downShe ain't never cried a tear but she cryin' nowShe tried to leave me, coming back cause she can't forget meI gotta be strong so she can't disrespect me[Hook 2](We'll have our quarrels), word(and you will upset me, tell me what can I do, but what can I do)Uh uh uh uh yea(What can I do, but what can I do)Uh uh uh yeaLet's, let's go uhLet's, let's go uh
