  • [Intro: Pharrell Williams]
    It makes no difference in this life
    Up and ups just fine
    Gonna up and up this life
    Til' we go down on our luck
    It makes no difference in this life
    Up and ups just fine
    Gonna up and up this life
    Til' the lift gets stuck
    Lifting up, lifting up
    Lifting up, lifting up
    Coming down, coming down
    Coming down, coming down
    Wake them up, wake them up
    To the sound

    [Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
    They tell you pull over, tell you get out the car
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    They wanna see your hands, tell you hold up your arms
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it

    [Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
    We were going home
    Waiting for the kids
    Schoolbus to arrive
    They're gonna do it anway
    Reaching for your keys
    Wait, is that your phone?
    Got a TBI
    Wait, is that police?
    Get out for what?
    I'm not your guy
    They're gonna do it anway
    Wife behind the trees
    Tryna to tell you don't
    They're about to fire

    [Refrain: Pharrell Williams]
    They're gonna do it anyway
    They're gonna do it anyway
    They're gonna do it anyway
    They're gonna do it anyway

    [Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
    They tell you pull over, tell you get out the car
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    They wanna see your hands, tell you hold up you arms
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it

    [Verse 2: Pharrell Williams]
    Whoa Ferguson, Oh Baltimore
    Raleigh, North Carolina
    They're gonna do it anway
    Wisconsin, Tulsa, Oklahoma
    Cleveland, Ohio
    Montgomery, Baton Rouge, Cincinnati car
    Dayton, Ohio
    They're gonna do it anyway
    New York, New Jersey, Phoenix, Minnesota
    South Carolina
    They gonna do it anway

    [Refrain: Pharrell Williams]
    They are gonna do it anyway
    They are gonna do it anyway
    They are gonna do it anyway
    They are gonna do it anyway

    [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
    You better duck, run fast from the mania
    Don't stare, don't laugh at the media
    Brake free, press gas when it enter ya'
    Don't let it go bad when he ante up
    Highway, get out the way
    Black man do your great escape
    Pac-man wanna prosecute you, raise your hand up, and they'll shoot ya'
    Face off, face off Adolf Hitler
    Grandkids slayed off
    Niggas, same rules, same chalk
    Different decade, same law
    Keep focus, you wanna get caught with your eyes open
    You wanna stay clear of the prognosis
    Pride provoked him, watch demotion
    Watch em' close enough
    Don't let the holster break or roast ya'
    Roller coast ride that bitch
    Soon the lady's eyes gon' switch
    You know Johnny got that itch
    How many more of us gotta see the coroner?
    Slain by the same badge, stop, wait, brake, fast!

    [Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it
    Don't do it, don't don't do it Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
