Macklemore - Do It Themselves lyrics

[Verse 1: Illmaculate] When what you want and what you can't have come in a conflict, that could cause a couple of problems Well, I guess these ladies and labels Have something in common If they have it they own way they be f**ing the artist But, that's why I'm ducking your offers No contracts or rings, see, I'm trying to hustle my hardest, ma No distractions, it's k**ing me, she's feeling me though She's so attractive plus she knows I'm the total package Got the pounding stimulation she needs, right? Plus with escalation what a famous emcee likes She like to know, squeeze tight in them clothes Thinking she'll get the green-light to go It don't seem right... Right, you love the attention Most the time it don't matter how s*utty she's dressin' All too often we act with ugly intentions And they're selfishly defended when they come into question [Hook: Illmaculate] I see you doin' your thing I ain't trying to hate on ya Nah I ain't trying to ruin a thing A lot of women though I ain't pouring salt in your game But if you'd listen close Then you could probly relate, it goes... *OnlyOne sample* Now I ain't dissing women, now now I ain't dissing women Now I ain't dissing women, that'd be foolish as hell Now I ain't dissing women, that'd be foolish as hell I just wish they wouldn't do it themselves [Verse 2: Dain] Chicks scoping me, I got a look from left to right ‘cause Anything might just happen I happen to be in a position where I got to see If I'ma go home to the wife or [...] Seems like some of the girls this age That approach you would've boned you in anyway Tried to tell one that I'm gay, but she was like "Nah n***a, you'll just need me to go straight" Papa told me play the cards that they deal to ya Mama told me just remember how it feels to ya So my consious is playing a role Even if I'm away on the road I stay at home ‘Cause I don't want nonsense "He say, she say" – cliché high school type gossip About me going out with a mistress Damn, mind your bitnezz, can I get a witness? [Hook] [Verse 3: Macklemore]
