[Verse 1]
Told my friends "eat clean, be strong"
Mouth full of fries when I said it, so wrong
Preachin’ “log off, touch some grass”
Scrollin’ memes in the bathroom, sittin’ on my… pass
"Save your cash, build that wealth"
Cart full of snacks, treatin’ future-me’s health
I say “sleep early, rise and shine”
But I text at 3 a.m. sayin’ “bro, I’m fine”
[Chorus]
Do as I say, not as I do (hallelujah!)
I give advice like it’s all brand new (choir: "brand new!")
Saint on the mic, but my halo’s skewed
I’m a slight hypocrite, but I still sound true
Do as I say, not as I do (sing it now!)
Talkin’ like a saint in a three-piece suit
Walkin’ like a mess in a busted shoe
I’m a slight hypocrite, how ‘bout you? (choir: "how ‘bout you?")
[Verse 2]
Told my cousin “yo, be on time”
Showed up late, blamed “traffic” in rhyme
“Drink more water, that’s the key”
Sippin’ iced coffee number three
"Take the stairs, care for your heart"
I’ll meet you up there, once this elevator starts
I say “be calm, don’t raise your voice”
Then yell at my phone when it autocorrects my choice
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I got rules for every season
But my feet keep slippin’ on my own good reason
[choir, call-and-response]
Lead: I say “do better”
Choir: You first, my friend
Lead: I say “this habit”
Choir: When’s that gonna end?
Lead: I’m tryna live right
Choir: But you love that sin
Lead: Okay, okay, alright, you win [laughs]
[Chorus]
