[Intro]

Alright, 

This one 

Sorta kinda 

Goes a little 

Something like this

[Hook]

"Do what I do" (4x)

Smoke a little smoke

Drink a little drink

That's all you'll ever be

That's how you'll always think

"Do what I do" (4x)

Put that weed in a bong

And smoke it all day long

Don't listen to your mentors

Even if they tell you it's wrong

[Verse 1]

Now imagine your kid as a sponge and this sponge goes to school

He absorbs all that knowledge like a car uses fuel

But in the future he learns fast and treats it like a tool

He obeys all the rules but the kids tell him he ain't cool

So he goes in their direction, tryin' to be like them

So they'll see him as a friend and not as a wimp

They tell him to inhale these leafs they're not playin'

They'll shoot him in the back if he tries to leave

He don't need parental clearance, they do this in a locked room

So theres no interference

He just wants respect  and possibly admission

He don't give a shit  bout' his parents permission

They say that he'll feel better but ironically feels worse

They also told him that it's cool to skip church and curse

And they say

[Hook]

"Do what I do" (4x)

Smoke a little smoke

Drink a little drink

That's all you'll ever be

That's how you'll always think

"Do what I do" (4x)

Put that weed in a bong

And smoke it all day long

Don't listen to your mentors

Even if they tell you it's wrong

[Verse 2]

Now as the sponge grows older his mind is now bolder

He's now sellin' the leafs himself watchin' them go from green to smoldered

Like from spring to winter, he can't stop

Even though the pain hurts worse than a splinter

But remember like a tree  he'll eventually timber

Cause what goes up must come down

Like Chris Brown with a temper he'll have to hit his girlfriend

Before he finally remebers

Why he feels so lost like a pupil with no mentor

He sold everything he got

Money, wallet and watch

So busy tryin' to not get caught that he forgot what he was taught

He thought that he was safe but apparently was not

Spends awhile in the slammer cause his demons were not fought

His glory was not sought, his freedom is now through

All because he did what they told them to do

And they say

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Now as the sponge leaves prison

He meets his son for the first time and finally sees what he's been missin'

Just a young boy caught in the same situation

How could all these mistakes carry onto the next generation?

And they ask him "How could you take care of a son after what you've done"

But he proved them wrong took care of him all summer long

This sponge has grown older but he ain't a sponge no more no, this sponge is a plunger

He cleans out the lies of his son as he gets older

He shows him the right ways to live his life even bolder

He shows no rebellion cause he knows his father is a felon

But even he's got mistake repellant he sits him down and tells 'em

[Hook]

"Don't do what I did

Or do what they did" (2x)

Don't smoke any smoke

Don't drink any drink

Cause that's all you'll ever be

And that's how you'll always think

"Don't do what I did

Or do what they did" (2x)

Don't put that weed in a bong

You'll have to smoke it all day long

Listen to your mentors

Especially when they tell you it's wrong
