Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Agh!

Just do your thing, child

...

Just do your thing, child

Do your thing

Truth be told, I got the ball on a string

Carried the weight of the world, but it came with some handles

I drag it to the basket, Moses with the passage

Safely Lord God, please make an example

I try to break shackles, now they ankles in shambles

I can't expect them to be grateful and thankful

They thought I had a manual like Hansel

Leave your plans in man's hands, and it gets manhandled

Dancin' in the street, but I didn't panhandle

When I finally drop, make a pamphlet

Sell tickets, put that shit on FanDuel, OnlyFans and Fandango

Give me your ear like Van Gogh, and it's candlewick

I mean, I mean, it's lit like a candlestick

When I'm fatigued like a camo fit

I'm rich, man, the size of the needle that the camel fits

Walkin' to Jesus with my sandals wet

This world would make you second-guess your first mind

Remember when it was your first day, the first time?

It couldn't have come at a worst place or worst time

And you remember that lil' voice with that rehearsed line

Just repeatin'

Do your thing, child (do your thing, child)

Do your thing (that shit hit! Hahahaha!)

Just do your thing, child (do your thing, child) (oh, jeez)

Do your thing (do your thing, child)

At every corner, store, bodega, delicatessen

Stands a big head kid learning delicate lessons

Roasted for they clothes, or they emotions or they roaches

Bullied by they friends, or they mamas, or they coaches

Half-size, chastised, dolls with glass eyes

Talk down, tossed down, the world just pass by

Grow up to be saviors, surgeons, rabbis

The world should've capsized when God got baptized

The boat don't sink, the show don't stop

The weapons form, the load don't drop

The boat gon' rock, the foes gon' plot

The rolls don't switch, the photo crop

The motto is "The more those hate, the more doors prop

Open", the Prince of Heaven was tempted

Told that he wasn't who he was, and they meant it

Never was there a path better cemented

So what they gon' say when you at the Olympics or tryna attempt it?

Remember when it was your first day, the first time?

Couldn't have come at a worst place or worst time

And you remember that lil' voice with that rehearsed line

Repeatin', it was sayin'

(Do your thing, child, do your thing)

Do your thing (do your thing, child)

Just do your thing child (do your thing)

Do your thing (child of God!)

Just do your thing, child

...

Just do your thing, child

Do your thing (child of God!)

Do your thing child (do your thing)

Do your thing, child (do your thing)

Just do your thing, child (do your thing)

Just do your thing, child (do your thing)

This world would make you second-guess your first mind

Remember when it was your first day, the first time?

It couldn't have come at a worst place or worst time

And you remember that lil' voice with that rehearsed line

Just repeatin'

Do your thing, child

Do your thing (that shit hit! Hahahaha!)

Just do your thing, child (oh, jeez!)

Do your thing (do your thing)

Do your thing, child, do your thing

Do your thing, child, do your thing

Do your thing, child, do your thing

Do your thing, child, do your thing

Child of God!
