Natural Elements (ft. Charlemagne, Dante Pacino, and Mr. Voodoo) - “Do Your Thing”


[Emcee(s): Charlemagne, Dante Pacino, and Mr. Voodoo]


[Producer(s): Charlemagne]


[Verse 1: Charlemagne]

Life is tough, so I gotta be tougher. Give me

The Visa, Gold MasterCard, and the Discover. I want

My brothers with low jeans and Timbs, Armani

Suits and rims. Big TIM breaks limbs. Do it

Legal to avoid the scars and pain

Maintain to listen to beats by Charlemagne

Mack, pay tax, make loot in stacks. Me and

Kosi charging thirty G’s a track, in fact

Call it a lecture, a visual picture

Sipping on a milk-and-Kahlua type mixture

It’s the brother whose soul’s on the road

Living on Earth on the land, they stole my gold

Itch to get anything I lack, and, on my wall

I want a gold and a platinum plaque

Honey-coated honeys begging for the math, grabbing

The staff, chilling in my private bath

Tommy Hill, wear fly gear, sport the best

‘Cause no one on this Earth could put the Fort to rest—don’t test

Give me the dollar, keep the dream

And watch how this one-man team keeps the cream

[Hook: Dante Pacino, Mr. Voodoo, and Charlemagne] (x2)


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Give me

The nickel-plated Glock and honey up the block


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Give me

The Rolex watch and the ring with the rocks


[Verse 2: Dante Pacino]

No more

Heartaches hustling tapes. Searching for the break got me

Flipping eggs in the plates filled with mignon steaks

All clichés, “Forever” on the pinky tag

On the wrist. Martini twist kind that keeps the notes crisp

For nickel toe-tagger. Duck, spin, shells scatter

Rhymes with a bloody dagger. My thoughts grab ya

Pacino calls all the shots. Got cover girls calling

Dante Daddy, getting head in the Allanté Caddy

Or stretch Lincoln. My mansion’s worth millions

From milking stocks and bonds like Mike Milken, never

Go broke. My full street’s paved with gold. Maintain

A whole platinum soul, story is told. Pacino

Keeps it low-pro’, stolen Jag is dark-tinted

Contact the spirit, live the life for a hot minute


[Hook: Dante Pacino, Mr. Voodoo, and Charlemagne]


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Give me

The nickel-plated Glock and honey up the block


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Give me

The Rolex watch and the ring with the rocks


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

And I won’t stop until I reach the top


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

And I’ll plant seeds so I can reap cash crops


[Verse 3: Mr. Voodoo]

Yeah, yeah, now as the

World turn, I churn rum on my tongue ‘til it burn

My only concern’s to learn new ways to earn the cream, I yearn like

Fiends do coke, to invest in West Indian smoke

Debit c-notes on Lebanese dope. See, I promote

Terrorism like Libya, sponsor cocoa farms like

Bolivia, mountain recliners with my insignias

Suites in the Waldorf surrounded by thugs with sawed-offs

Pay the D.A. to lay off, The Beast to keep the law off

My tail, wait and yell, using justice as scales

‘Cause in these last days, senseless crime prevails, so I’m

Relentless, my defense is my sixth senses. Sometimes, I roll

With hoods who get loot for stolen goods from fences


[Hook: Dante Pacino, Mr. Voodoo, and Charlemagne]


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Give me

The nickel-plated Glock and honey up the block


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Give me

The Rolex watch and the ring with the rocks


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

And I won’t stop until I reach the top


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

And I’ll plant seeds so I can reap cash crops


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Dante Pacino]

To my niggas on the run, shooting slugs at cops


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Mr. Voodoo]

Fat knots, fat dots, and Black Talon shots


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Charlemagne]

Get the foreign drop-tops for props and helicops


[Dante Pacino and Mr. Voodoo]

Do your

Thing, son. Do your thing, and it don’t stop


[Dante Pacino]
