[Hook]
I like what you’re doing
Don’t stop it baby, keep it popping baby
Don’t, don’t, don’t
I like what you’re doing
Don’t stop it baby, I watch it baby
Cause I love it
I like what you’re doing, I said I like what you’re doing
I said I like what you’re doing, I like what you’re doing

[Verse 1]
Ok babe come here, come pick up [?] slack for me
Lose your attitude, you might get a slap from me
No gravity, I dress casually
She said she bored so I let her sip this Act with me
And now she acting, butt attractive, and Imma smash her
Then Imma kick her out of this castle
And let my lil niggas smash and grab her
Cause she’s a naughty nothing, they come a dime a dozen
I think her old man mad like a [?]
Big chest [?], back the fuck up off me
Blowing on dank, got your bitch at the office
Oops I meant the loft with a whole lot of bosses
I run around with paper, call my money equator

[Hook]
I like what you’re doing
Don’t stop it baby, keep it popping baby
Don’t, don’t, don’t
I like what you’re doing
Don’t stop it baby, I watch it baby
Cause I love it
I like what you’re doing, I said I like what you’re doing
I said I like what you’re doing, I like what you’re doing

[Verse 2]
Yeah, come here
Not you, your friend
Come here
We don’t drink beer
I got lean for days
Come over to my section
And join the Js
We got party parades
We drink lean and rave
For real, no play
Make you tell your old man what did I say
Rock, rock, rockstar baby
Drop the spike off your shoe and rock the star baby
Them bitches you got on is the latest
Cause I get more green than the Navy, yeah

[Hook]
I like what you’re doing
Don’t stop it baby, keep it popping baby
Don’t, don’t, don’t
I like what you’re doing
Don’t stop it baby, I watch it baby
Cause I love it
I like what you’re doing, I said I like what you’re doing
I said I like what you’re doing, I like what you’re doing

Jeffery Lamar Williams (b. August 16, 1991), popularly known as Young Thug, is an innovative trap artist from Atlanta known for his experimental vocal styles on versatile production ranging from hard trap beats to experimental pop records. Thug is known as a pioneer for much of the 2010s generation of rap, and his constant cosigns, features, and chart presence cement his status as a leader in the streaming era and current rap scene.

While Young Thug released his first mixtape in 2011, it wasn’t until fellow ATL trap artist Gucci Mane took Thug under his wing in 2013 that he began to see great success as an artist. That year, Thug released his first major hit, “Stoner,” which quickly gained viral traction on social media, then “Danny Glover,” which propelled him to an even larger scale of success. After Gucci Mane went to prison in 2013, Thug saw success by re-aligning himself with Cash Money Records’s own Birdman and his newly-formed Rich Gang collective with the hit single “Lifestyle” and a collaborative mixtape before officially signing to 300 Ent. in 2015. Under 300, Thug continued to release many more singles, mixtapes, and features, gradually boosting his popularity before releasing his debut album, So Much Fun, which topped the Billboard 200 on August 31, 2019.

After 2015’s “Best Friend” became Thug’s first platinum single, his 2016 collaboration with Travis Scott, “pick up the phone,” became his new highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100. This would later be succeeded by “Havana” with Camila Cabello, the best-selling single of 2018. However, his current highest-charting song as lead artist is “Hot,” which topped the Rolling Stone 100 and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing his previous biggest hit, “The London,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
