[Verse 1]

I do it for my dad and I do it for my mama

I do it for my shabs and I do it for my sistas

I do it for my city and I don't forget Africa

I do it for my hoes, my thugs, my bitches, my gangstas

I do it for the best, how could I forget my haters?

And I do it for my uncles they told me : "da fuck you doing here?

Better have you degrees, masters!" Thinking that I go nowhere

But I don't wanna be no one, been working like a Trojan, man!

I know, you know, we know, Rilès is not the only one, yay

By myself I don't need your prod

I don't want your beef, your bitch and your buzz, always for my bros, my niggas, my blood

Never for the fuzz, they shootin' my cuz, I wanna bring the peace, but can I be bad?

This shit is for me, for you and for us, I do it for the streets, and for the suburbs

[Bridge]

Plus I do it for the passion and I do it for the patience

No I'll never forget the pain from this fight

I do it for my family, I do it for my family

I do it for my family, that's why

[Chorus]

Why o why? Why o why you ask?

I do it for my mama, why you take aback?

Ohh, why o why? Why o why you ask?

I do it for my baba for his sacrifice

Why o why? Why o why you ask?

I do it for my khey, I know they got my back

Hmm, why o why? Why o why you ask?

As we're about to build and you're about to crack..

[Cut]

.. Ok, ok, ok, ok you do it for your family and shit, that's cool

But don't tell me you don't do it for money bruh

[Verse 2]

I don't fuck with their money and once I got some it's for granny

Buy a plane for my niggas, we leave for Mexico city

For now we ain't rico tony, be wise chico ain't no worry

Time is money so we hurry, akhi bzef I'm too busy

Yay, brother, brother, brother

Don't call 911, I'm about to spread that fire

Halle-halle-lujah, tell me you see me now

We've been hidden too long, you know, we've never seen the sun

[Bridge]

I do it for the passion and I do it for the patience

No I'll never forget the pain from this fight

I do it for my family, I do it for my family

I do it for my family, that's why

[Chorus]

Why o why? Why o why you ask?

I do it for my mama, why you take aback?

Ohh, why o why? Why o why you ask?

I do it for my baba for his sacrifice

Why o why? Why o why you ask?

I do it for my khey, I know they got my back

Hmm, why o why? Why o why you ask?

As we're about to build and you're about to crack
