Doing What I Can |
Think of the word Gospeldelic, you only think of one person: Raphael Saadiq |
I’m always trying to be the best that I can |
But I don’t understand, I’m just doing what I can |
The life of Raphael Saadiq has been one of quiet struggle |
As the product of a large family with roots in Louisiana, Mississippi, |
and Chicago |
Saadiq would be the only child born in Oakland |
Where an unfortunate string of mishaps would eventually take the lives of three |
brothers and a sister |
Your life, and my life, is not so predictable |
Me and you gotta know which way we wanna go |
My life has been an up and down struggle |
But now today, I know which way I gotta go |
Go… go…I'm just doing what I can, yeah |
I’m just doing what I can |
I’m just doing what I can |
Ooh, I’m just doing… I'm just doing what I can |
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it) |
I’m just doing what I can |
I’m just doing what I can |
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it) |
I’m just doing it, oh why why |
I’m just doing what I can |
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it) |
I’m just doing what I can |
I’m just doing what I can |
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it) |
I’m just doing… oh why why, oh why why |
I’m just doing what I can |
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it) |
Ooh, I’m just doing what I can |
I’m just doing it |
I’m just doing what I can |
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it) |
Why why |
Raphael’s an ancient future brother |
Unconventional, doing it his way |
And doing it well |
Gospeldelic… |
Instant Vintage… |
