what can i do? - talib kweli & madlib lyrics

[intro: sample & talib kweli]
swim in the ocean
and boats were made to sail on the sea, yeah
(what can i do?) what-what can i do?
(yeah)

[verse 1: talib kweli & samples]
yo, i try to get it here, get it there, everywhere
(what can i do?) what-what can i do?
so i spit it clear, persevere, interfere
with the status quo the baddest flow throughout the hemisphere
there ain’t no pretenders here, only real men is here
if you see a chick she down to ride like she guinevere
better yet the queen of sheba, aretha, queen latifah
i’m the boss like i need shareefa

[interlude: female]
boss? you ain’t my boss. you don’t run sh-t up in here. i don’t know who the h-ll you think talkin’ to. i’m gonna take that sh-t and bounce. i don’t know who the h-ll you think you are. i ain’t got no boss

[verse 2: talib kweli]
see i call her baby like she 3 years old
when she fully grown so these dudes is pullin’ on
she in the club like a stone cover, fully blown
speaking in the girly tone even though you got a att-tude
i can’t stay mad at you

[chorus: sample, talib kweli & both]
we’ll have our quarrels (word)
and you’ll upset me
(tell me what can i do) what-what can i do
nothing, cause if i said that i don’t need you i was frontin’ so
(what can i do?) what-what can i do?
nothing, every time you said you leavin’ you was bluffin’

[verse 3: talib kweli]
back in the days i had dreads like lil’ jon
and got numbers armed with nothin’ but a pen and a little charm
everything i’m saying be littered with observation
so i stand up for the dudes with limited conversation
you looking at a star, it’s all in the constellation

[interlude: female]
haha, you ain’t no star. haha, you know you really losing your mind. i don’t know who told you that sh-t. you really feeling yourself

[verse 4: talib kweli]
she tried to tie me up but she can’t tie me down
she ain’t never cried a tear but she cryin’ now
she tried to leave me, coming back cause she can’t forget me
i gotta be strong so she can’t disrespect me

[chorus: sample, talib kweli & both]
we’ll have our quarrels (word)
and you’ll upset me
(tell me what can i do) what-what can i do
uh uh uh uh yeah
(what can i do?) what-what can i do?
uh uh uh yeah
let’s, let’s go, uh
let’s, let’s go, uh
