[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 n***as, 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 n***as, 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
