Lyrics for August Alsina ft. Lil’ Wayne – ‘Why I Do It’

Verse 1: Lil Wayne
Get off my d***, let me do me
That’s a million bucks, every two weeks
I’m f*****’ on an actress, we makin’ movies
I’m pullin’ out my camera, we shootin’ new scenes
I’m flexin’ stupid on these n*****, pukin’ on these n*****
Sippin’ all this drank, Lord I’m juicin’ on these n*****
Got my b**** ballin’ hard, Sheryl Swoopin’ on these n*****
Mind your f*****’ business and stop googlin’ on me, n****
I do Tunechi on these n*****

Verse 2: August Alsina
Ridin’ through the city with a bad b**** with me
She wanna know if she can bring her friends
But my n***** wanna know if they’re pretty
Yeah they can tag along
Bet you I could tag ’em all
With a little love and some alcohol
But I’ma pass ’em off to my n*****
Kick ’em out when I’m done, n****, f*** ’em all
Back to the grind
I work so hard like I get paid overtime
But when I see the check come deep
Run up in the mall, buy the same thing three times
Call this foreplay
Cause when the h*** see me shop, you can see the panties drop
Runnin’ up a check get ’em so wet
Gotta ball out, call it BowFlex
They wanna know how I go so hard but I’m still so young
I’m eating so good, and I’m still not done
No I ain’t stoppin’ ’til I got it all
And I’m winnin’ ’til it ain’t no room for losin’

Chorus: August Alsina
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
Get cash, get cars, go hard
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
N**** I don’t ask why you do your job
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I grind sundown to sunrise
Don’t tell me to prove it, cause I might lose it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
Don’t have to tell you, the plan is relentless
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
N**** that’s my business
Even if you say you don’t f*** with it

Verse 3: August Alsina
Cause you know for my n***** I’ma stay down
Stay down, stay down
We never trust them b******, better lay down
Lay down, lay down
But they never come around when the money out
Money out, money out
I’ve done seen people that ran out
Tryna come around for a handout

Verse 4: Lil Wayne
I woke up this mornin’, d*** rock hard
If you lookin’ for your woman, she just hopped off
If you lookin’ for some trouble, ain’t gotta look far
I put that d*** in her stomach, she holla, “Good Lord”
I put that d*** in her stomach, she holla, “Good God”
These n***** claimin’ they thuggin’, they know they good boys
My n***** call me KG, cause I’m the Kush God
And my coupe don’t need a key, I’m talkin’ push start, push start
Ridin’ and vibin’, ain’t hidin’, come find me
It ain’t hard to find me cause n**** I’m shinin’
I ain’t got to tell these boys, they know I’m shinin’
I ain’t got to tell my goons turn up, they bother you
F*** with me right now, that’s bad timin’
Fatherless children and sad mommies
F*** all this shit they be sayin’ ’bout me
I’m on that sippin’, too damn drowsy for that bullshit

Chorus: August Alsina
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
Get cash, get cars, go hard
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
N**** I don’t ask why you do your job
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I grind sundown to sunrise
Don’t tell me to prove it, cause I might lose it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
Don’t have to tell you, the plan is relentless
I ain’t gotta tell you why I do it
N**** that’s my business
Even if you say you don’t f*** with it
