Mobb Deep - What Can I Do? Lyrics

[Havoc]
Yeah, uh-huh ("What can I do?")
Yeah yeah (What's goin on man?)
(The fuck is goin on man?)
Yo {"What can I do?"}

To make that paper was the trait that I received at birth
Niggas jealous and hatin' on me ("What can I do?")
When they plottin' and schemin' on me, the hammer just keep it on me
Fuck the fame and glory ("What can I do?")
When your shorty gets nasty and horny, she all over me kid
You locked down, doin' a bid ("What can I do?")
With a nigga, tryin' to take food off of my plate
And you know I got a kid ("What can I do?")
When my stomach touchin', ribs showin'
You off in the corner glowin' ("What can I do?")
Nothin' else, but to take what's yours, convert it to mines
From the cash to the shine ("What can I do?")
When shit is so fucked up, can't tell wrong from right
Right from wrong ("What can I do?")
When they say, life is short, to you it's the cash
Today it's seemin' long ("What can I do?")
Now I try to keep a positive look, my motto to jux
But can't seem to stay focused ("What can I do?")
They say, an unoccupied mind's the devil's playground
So I sat and wrote this, to kill time ("What can I do?")

[Prodigy]
Yeah yeah that's that gangsta shit son
I feel you my nigga (that's right that's right) ("What can I do?")
(Infamous baby you ain't know?) We goin' do it like this
(That Mobb shit nigga) ("What can I do?")

But send niggas to hell
They try and stop me from cashin' in man ("What can I do?")
But squeeze without thinkin', flip without warnin'
I got the drop on 'em ("What can I do?")
You know, give it my best, empty this clip
And if live and happen to snitch ("What can I do?")
Except, find his home, bring it to his family
Should I shoot his moms? ("What can I do?")
Fuck it, send him a warnin', lick that bitch
Let him know the shit is on ("What can I do?")
It's not my fault, it's just the game we in
And when you violate codes ("What can I do?")
But punish niggas for they actions
My shit jam when I start blastin', no ("What can I do?")
Just relax, take out the clip, fix that shit
Put the clip back and keep goin' ("What can I do?")
Man you gotta keep your thug showin'
People take kindness for weakness and so ("What can I do?")
But be a cold-hearted bastard
This world is fucked up, and that's how it go ("What can I do?")

(Fuck that son, Infamous nigga) ("What can I do?")
(For two-thousands baby, why yall niggas got your own) ("What can I do?")
(Your little run, your little five year run ten year run)
(Y'all niggas small time baby) ("What can I do?")
(Small time baby, beneath us baby)

[Repeats]
"What can I do?"
