Doing What I Can
Raphael Saadiq, formerly of Tony! Toni! Toné
Founder of Lucy Pearl
Is setting up to release his first solo album of his career
Instant Vintage
(Very athletic man)
Great musician
He's got this Gospeldelic soul
You think of the word Gospeldelic
You only think of one person

Raphael Saadiq
I'm only trying to be the best that I can
But I don't (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) what I can, yeah
(I'm just doing what I can) what I can
(I'm just doing what I can) I'm just doing what I can
Ooh, I'm just doing (oh my, oh my)
(I'm just doing what I can) what I can)
(Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing what I can
I'm just doing it (oh why, why?)
(I'm just doing what I can) what I can (doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing it (oh why? Oh, why?) Oh, why, why?
Oh why, why? What I can y'all (doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing what-
I'm just doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it-
What I can y'all (doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
I'm just doing (oh my, oh my)
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)
(Oh why? Oh why?)
I'm just doing what I can (doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it)
Why, why?
Raphael's an ancient future brother
Unconventional (I want unconventional)
Doing it his way
And doing it well
