Vin Jay - Don’t Do It

Just imagine if I never heard of rap (yeah)

Never heard of Pac, no Biggie, or heard of Mac (nah)

Never made a name or put my city on the map (map)

And never made a record that was dissing mumble tracks, yeah

I bet that I would probably take the safe route (yeah)

Probably work a wack nine to five and

I'd blow my fuckin' brains out (boom)

Never finding no ways out, I'd be posted up in this same town (damn)

Never see these commas that been flowing through my PayPal

We're about to be crazy from emotions I'm concealing (woo)

Stay laid awake while I'm

Contemplating my life, looking at the ceiling

And take some medication just to dull the way I'm feeling (huh?)

Then post it up on that 'Gram to make my life look more appealing

Yeah, I keep my focus, go to college and be straight

Then I live the rest of my life with an occupation that I hate (yeah)

Maxing out like all of my credit with some bills I cannot pay (pay)

Then convince my fucking kids that

They should go and do the same (Woo)

Dear Lord, my kids'll tell me what they wanna be (be)

Then I tell them "Go to college" even if they disagree (-gree)

Let the system beat them down while it

Just proceeds to kill their dreams (yeah)

And I watch, as they all become as miserable as me

Ya'll know ain't no doubt if I never heard Rap, I'd be a mess

I'd be knee deep in that liquor and I'd be drowning in my debt (debt)

Work all day but I get no rest (rest)

Just get by with a minimal check

Tell me what's the point in my life when I'm only living with regret?

Damn, and I been wondering if I ever gave my best yet

Probably be the same until I'm posted on my death bed, huh

If I never heard of rap I know that nothing would be the same (yeah)

But this is who I'm meant to be, this fucking shit is in my veins (go)

I'm ready to kill it, not leaving a witness

I'm coming to level the game

Man I been living with no kind of limits

I body you bitches, don't get in my way (yeah)

Never be dealing with none of you lames

Ain't no comparing us, we not the same

Ya'll have been tripping, the void I been filling

Got better from music, I'm numbing the pain

Man I really wish I had this booth (booth)

When I was a kid locked in my room (room)

Fuckin' with a razor blade 'til I fade away

And I was hopin' that my day comes soon

Wanted to make it but know I never got through

Said "I'd be the best", but I had no proof

But I've got 'em talking now 'cause I'm bossing out

And my dreams about to come true

Now we trippin' overseas

Devil in me, gotta pack the Rosaries

Left fam and they meant the most to me

Had to put 'em in the past, they don't believe

Real quick for the fam and the ones who doubted

Come take a look at all the guap I'm countin'

Living on top, it don't get too crowded (nah)

Know I'm alone but I feel surrounded, damn

Make a name with this filthy grind (grind)

Ya'll can't break what I built this time

Could of died from all the shit I've done

But I beat the odds and I will survive

Still I do what I please (woo)

Putting the profit off of my kings (yeah)

But I gotta take the time to just pray to God

'Cause life had me down on my knees

Yeah, so ain't no question, I'm about to do it right (right)

I be sacrificing everything and

Grinding through the night (let's do this)

While I spill my fucking heart out when I get up on this mic

'Cause I know one day they gon'

Hear me and I'ma change my fucking life
