Never Do Lyrics

[Verse: ANTHM]
Good or bad days, I may see those
But I never know which way she goes
Lady luck when she be fuckin' with my ratios
Been quite a year thru my eyes you shoulda scene it
But in hindsight im risin' like a phoenix
I’m brushin' it off, my discussion evolved
Past the ruffled the feathers while im weatherin' nothing but fog
But now I’m seein' evisions on the nights we roam
Like my momma ownin' a nice clean home
And my sister with that ice cream
Care free she in love with such
In the backyard hopscotch
Playin' double dutch
Daydreaming on this late evening
I gotta stay schemin'
Me and my main team remain thievin'
Shyt, until my money is right
Smilin' like them white kids with that sunny delight
But today I woke up feelin' festive
Celebratin' life aggressive
Baby I’m impressed with the wind that caresses
Short skirts on a summer daylet those inhibitions runaway like a free slave
As we rave I’m tryna behave
My feet crave to follow the melody the beat gave
Even in a heat wave I’m coolin' off
The breeze of nostalgia
When the memories surround ya
Shyt’ll astound ya
Loungin', thinking back when I was scroungin'
Syndrome like Münchausen
The analysis
A delicate balance of tryna be a young prince
Wait for heaven to crown us
Nah, build my own palace
You don’t know me but me and my homies
Have royal ceremonies
Good vibrations been droppin' ever since
I was hoppin' from a pauper to prince
As I'm a rapper I'm a raw beast
But deep inside I'm an artiste
So I
[Outro: Raphael Saadiq]
Never do
What they do
What they do
What they do
