About This Track

'What It Do' is built on a single phrase repeated until it becomes a kind of verbal tic, a greeting that doubles as a boast. Quavo anchors the track with the refrain, cycling through shout-outs to collaborators and crew members, whilst the production stays minimal enough to let the repetition do its work. The song moves between braggadocio and casual flex, the kind of record that works as introduction and assertion at once. Takeoff's verse shifts the energy slightly, trading Quavo's conversational tone for a sharper delivery that stacks images of wealth and status in quick succession. The track doesn't strain for narrative or depth; it's a showcase built on presence and repetition, the kind of thing that lives in the moment rather than lingering after.

"What It Do" is a track by Quality Control, from the album Quality Control: Control the Streets, Vol. 1, released 8th December 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

I'm buying pints, I ain't drinkin' for the cool (Lean)

Having rank and the bankroll too (Rank)

You ain't never seen the facts on the move (You ain't never)

Called me dumb when we dropped out of school (Called me dumb)

Lake view with Jacuzzi and a pool (Lake view)

All the pain in the game made me lose it (Lost it)

Spikes in the toe with the Loub' (Spike that)

Pipe on a bitch, tell her lose it (Pipe up)

What it do, Take? What it do, Qua'? (What it do?)
