I Do What I Do

Landon McNamara's song 'I Do What I Do' is a powerful anthem of individuality and social justice. The repetitive chorus, 'I do what I do, oh oh oh,' serves as a declaration of self-acceptance and resilience. McNamara emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself despite societal pressures and judgments. The line 'You can be you no matter what' reinforces the message that everyone should embrace their unique identity without fear of criticism or rejection.

The song delves into themes of social inequality and activism. McNamara likens himself to Robin Hood, 'Stealing from the rich and giving back to the hood,' highlighting his commitment to fighting for equality and justice. He criticizes the disparity between the wealthy and the underprivileged, expressing a desire to use resources to help those in need, such as 'feeding all the children' and supporting 'crack babies going crazy.' This reflects a deep sense of empathy and a call to action for societal change.

McNamara also addresses the misconceptions and stereotypes he faces. He rejects labels like 'hippie,' 'Rasta,' 'OG,' and 'junkie,' asserting that his lifestyle choices and beliefs do not define his character. He stands up for his right to live authentically, even if it means going against the grain. The lyrics 'I’m a little a rebel but I ain’t the devil' and 'Just cause I got some good words to preach doesn’t mean to follow me' underscore his desire for personal freedom and his rejection of being placed on a pedestal. The song ultimately champions the idea that everyone should be free to live their truth and fight for what they believe in, without being judged or pigeonholed by others.
