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… |
