Do Your Best Songtext
von Mos Def

You can but only do your best
Do, do your best
Then you will have to leave the rest
Leave, leave the rest
You can but only do your best
Do, do your best
Then you will have to leave the rest
Leave, leave the rest

Remember
The problems wey dey today
No just start today
And many don try to change
But things still remain the same
So you see my brothers

You can but only do your best
Do, do your best
Then you will have to leave the rest
Leave, leave the rest


Ask your mama
She self go tell you
If you ask your papa
Himself go tell you
Na serious problems
De Africa
To solve the problems
Na wahala

My people in the street holla out
I know you want more
I hear you
Ghetto people all across the world
And you struggle to get more

I hear you
I heard somebody′s mama holla at me
You can't suffer no more
I hear you
She say she couldn′t understand
What the youth dem suffering for
Say I hear you

No be today politicians dey lie
No be today
The reason be say them no care if we die
No be today
No be today fella dey try


No be today
To teaching people make them come wise
No be today
No be today
No be today I say

No be today
No be today
No be today
No be today

Ask your mama
She self go tell you
If you ask your papa
Himself go tell you
Na serious problems
De Africa
To solve the problems
Na wahala

Na so so problems
De Africa
To solve the problems
Na wahala

Ghetto people with the struggle in mind
You get
Heart steppin' got the hustle and grind
You get
Try to stay alive every time
You get
No place to hide you get
Front and behind you get
Since you watch if you don't know what time it is
It′s half past got to get up and run with this

Ah ha ha ha ha

You can but only do your best
Do, do your best
Then you will have to leave the rest
Leave, leave the rest
You can but only do your best
Do, do your best
Then you will have to leave the rest
Leave, leave the rest

You can but only do your best
Do, do your best
Then you will have to leave the rest
Leave, leave the rest
