[Verse 1: Kota the Friend]
They tell me who I be
Oh yeah, that's news to me
Cape Town, that’s views to me
Signal Hill, I'm on top for real
Crip walk on the mountain, I'm solo
Thirty deep, we used to run SoHo
Now I go, they tryna get photos
Boy, I got the world at my feet
Do my dance in the crib ’cause the bills all paid off
Do one-ten in the whip when the whole top came off
Got some cash in the bank, I'm straight, I just play it off
Jaw gon' drop with the top and her face gon' say it all
[Pre-Chorus: Kota the Friend]
I'll be straight when it's all said and done
They gon' send me hate, I just send them lovе, yeah
Squidward just gon' watch us having fun
And we gon’ live our lifе
[Chorus: Kota the Friend]
I do my own thing
Ain’t no cars behind me, I'm in my own lane
I ain’t in no rush, I don't got no road rage
They can't bring you down when you got your soul straight
And that's just how it go
[Verse 2: Kota the Friend]
Oh, boy, tryna live my dreams
Cool out, n***a, sip my tea
Twelve-hour flight to a place that we never been
With a view that you won’t believe
Brand-new day, wake up and I get to live
I got shit that you get for free
When you stay in line, this car, I get to drive
This wall, I get to climb
Faux-faux n***as, fuck 'em all
Got ten friends and I trust 'em all
May be rich, but I grew up poor
I stand up and I dust it off
Too strong for the evil eye, we too sharp for the feeble mind
It's too pure for the seed to thrive
Lil' man, it's a marathon, time always defeat the lies, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Kota the Friend]
I'll be straight when it's all said and done
They gon' send me hate, I just send them love, yeah
Squidward just gon' watch us having fun
And we gon' live our life
[Chorus: Kota the Friend]
I do my own thing
Ain't no cars behind me, I'm in my own lane
I ain't in no rush, I don't got no road rage
They can't bring you down when you got your soul straight
And that's just how it go
[Verse 3: Aloe Blacc, Aloe Blacc & Kota the Friend]
Ain't nobody gonna put chains on me
I ain't with it now, now
I got things to do and places to be (Places to be)
I am building the impossible dream (Oh), everlasting
Gonna leave a beautiful legacy
And if you didn't know
Nothing's gonna stop me now, no, no (Nothing's gonna stop me)
I'm telling you, everywhere I go
I'm gonna scream it out loud
We gon' live our life
[Chorus: Kota the Friend & Aloe Blacc]
I do my own thing
Ain't no cars behind me, I'm in my own lane
I ain't in no rush, I don't got no road rage
They can't bring you down when you got your soul straight
And that's just how it go
[Bridge: Kota the Friend]
If you gon' sing, then sing it right
Drive out darkness, be the light
Life gon' life
And with that said, I'll be alright
Live like I might die tomorrow
Shit, I just might die tonight
I just might buy the bar
Struggled all my life, and it's alright
It's alright
Do my dance in the tub with the Bose on loud
Might slip and fall, but it's alright
It's alright
Took my chance on a girl from the UAE
And fell hard for the one for me, I swear it's alright
[Outro: Kota the Friend]
I do my own thing
Ain't no cars behind me, I'm in my own lane
I ain't in no rush, I don't got no road rage
They can't bring you down when you got your soul straight
And that's just how it go
