Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I made a choice
I'm rolling with Royce
Yeah, yeah
We are
Yeah, oh, woo
Everything is everything, but I need a better ring
I'm married to the game so I got both of us wedding rings
On every finger
T-Pizzle the wedding singer
We only make head bangers
I'm leaving 'em dead and I ain't scared
[Verse 2]
It's the first of the month
I got my bag in the mail
I was panicking yesterday
Now I'm happy as hell
We on
I just do what I do
We on, yeah
Do what I do
[Verse 3]
It's the first of the month
I got my bag in the mail
I'm turning back up my radio
I hope I never be alone
I just do what I do
Be alone, yeah
Do what I do
[Verse 4]
Said, it's the first of the month
Got bitches callin' my phone
Just paid a couple of bills
Just got some shit cut back on
I gave my mama some money so she could go out and gamble
God only put on me what he know that I can handle
[Verse 5]
But it's the first of the month
I'm puttin' some rims on my car
My lady said it's a waste, bullshit, I'm a star
Leave me alone
I just do what I do
She jealous anytime I'm gon' shine
Do what I do
[Verse 6]
She said, if you so talented why nobody ain't ever heard of you?
She dumps me on the twentieth
It takes me back by the thirtieth
She's wrong
But we been together such a long time (I just do what I do)
Do what I do
[Verse 7]
It's the first of the month
I got my bag in the mail
I was panicking yesterday
Now I'm happy as hell
We on
I just do what I do
We on, yeah
Do what I do
[Verse 8]
It's the first of the month
I got my bag in the mail
I'm turning back up my radio
I hope I never be alone
I just do what I do
Be alone, yeah
Do what I do
[Verse 9]
Hey, my life's like Heaven
That's from the first of the month until the seventh
And from the seventeenth to the end, it's like Heaven
We go from buying back to selling
Hey, I live like a king
By way of delivery of a mailman
Oh no, no, hello
[Verse 10]
I'm tryna be loyal to never going broke again
The money, the power, respect is my only three friends
So I put a ring on the game
I'ma put a chain on it later
Now I got the hang of the game
I'ma make it rain for you, baby, now
I put the work in
So if anybody ask about me just tell 'em I'm workin'
If you ain't talking 'bout money then you get that do not disturb then
Talk down on the game, get one of them nerves in
[Verse 11]
Uh, if I ever fucked up a friendship, I'm sorry
Money don't buy happiness, I go and cry in a Ferrari
We get kicked out the room
I'ma move the shit down to the lobby
'Cause I got my bag in the mail, I'm happy as hell
Bitches tryna party and it's
[Verse 12]
The first of the month
I got my bag in the mail
I was panicking yesterday
Now I'm happy as hell
We on
I just do what I do
Say we on
Do what I do
[Verse 13]
It's the first of the month
I got my bag in the mail
I'm turning back up my radio
I hope I never be alone
I just do what I do
Say we on
Do what I do
[Verse 14]
Hey, my life's like Heaven
That's from the first of the month until the seventh
And from the seventeenth to the end it's like Heaven
We go from buying back to selling
Hey, I live like a king
By way of delivery of a mailman
I just do what I do
And we on, yeah
Do what I do
[Verse 15]
It's the first of the month
So cash your checks and come on
It's the first of the month
So cash your checks and come on
It's the first of the month
So cash your checks and come on
It's the first of the month
Cash your checks and come on
