Public Enemy - Gotta Do What I Gotta Do Lyrics
Ridenhour - gary g-wiz - h. shockleeI gotta do what I gotta do (uh)So who the hell is youTo tell me how my song is wrongYou dont knowLayout & let the drummer goYou think my raps about stealinBut its about feelinSometimes drug dealinBut few know how my flowDont get the proper reviewI gotta do what I gotta doDo whatcha gotta do firstOohHere go da verseI gotta do what I do best (uh)Kick da nitti & nessThe danger zoneThey better leave me aloneI got posseLus the feds had better watch meI picked a bone wit arizonaDroppin kickin a missionWit no permissionI let em know why I did what I didI got dialogueGot em to even sing along& got the semiautomaticTongue to da youngWhen theres staticThey come & try to get someThey had the nerve to call the presidentAn I wasnt hesitantTo scream I was a residentSo-called power of the peopleLookin for the truthLike guessin my vest was never bulletproofIm edgin close to the line& its fine time to knowWhy the hell & da f---I try to battle soMuch to touch never feedinA crutch to lean on meExcuses is weakThats why my look is meanTo the devils bout godAnother reason why its comin hardMy intellect doin wreckin effecttill its throughGotta do what I gotta doI gotta do what dey dont likecause I got a mikeThe more I push& the more you learn& dey burn, you get another turnTo take the helm recreateThe realm of leadersNot to say you never need usBut in da mirrorYou can do it, its so easy to startYeah baby you can see it onA flow chartAnd just in caseThey ever get me in da middleOf things before I goYou know Im gonna take a swangUntil dey give what dey neverGave I refuse to beA slave I hijackedThe airwavesLet ya know the dirtSwept under the rugGive the brothers a poundMy sisters a lil bigger hugsMy rat a tat comin right& exact cause its trueI gotta do what I gotta do
