What Can I Do

Lyrics

Swim in the ocean and thoughts remain to sail on the sea, yeah
 What 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, 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 wanna veer
 Better yet the Queen of Sheba, Aretha, Queen Latifah
 I'm the boss like Aneisha Reefa
 Boss? You ain't my boss? Baby
 You don't run shit up in here
 I don't know who the hell you think talkin' 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 pullin' 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 will upset me
 Tell 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'
 Back in the days I had dreads like Lil Jon
 And got numbers armed with nothin' 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 losing your mind
 I don't know who told you that shit
 She tried to tie me up but she can't tie me down
 She ain't never cried a tear but she cryin' 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 will upset me
 Tell me what can I do, but what can I do
 Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
 (What can I do but what can I do)
 Uh, uh, uh, yeah
 Let's, let's go, uh
 Let's, let's go, uh
