What They Do (feat. B.G.) - T.I.

They know how to tell you, "That loaded up Tacoma It ain't gonna take you anywhere" They know how to make you feel a little bit guilty 'Bout trying to get out of there They know a guy that'll take you part time Twelve fifty just starting out They know it won't be very long 'Til you're turnin' that truck around And they know how to say you'll never make it on your own Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin' For the day your fadin' red tail lights are headin' back home And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong How to tell you that road's too long, too far Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go But what do they know? They know how to tell you my shotgun seat's no place for a girl like you Know who to think I am, that I ain't the kind of man You should tie your tomorrows to And they know that we're settling because we ain't settling Moving on don't mean moving up Know that we're going too fast, never gonna last But baby, they don't know us They know how to say you'll never make it on your own Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin' For the day your fadin' red tail lights are headin' back home And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong How to tell you that road's too long, too far Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go But what do they know? But what do they know? Well, they know my voice when they hear it on the radio station That they're playing back home And they know all the words to the songs I'm singing And they know they wanna sing along And they know how to say you'll never make it on your own Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin' For the day your fadin' red tail lights are headed back home And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong How to tell you that road's too long, too far Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go But what do they know? What do they know?
