I'm always trying to be the best that I can

But I don't understand

I'm just doin' 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

I'm just doing what I can

Saadiq would be the only child born in Oakland

I'm just doing what I can

Where an unfortunate string of mishaps

That 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 got to go

Go

Go

I just doing what I can

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

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

I'm just doing what I can

Oh, why? Why?

I'm just doing what I can

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

I'm just doin' it

Oh, why? Why?

I'm just doing what I can

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

I'm just doing what I can

I'm just doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

I'm just doin' it

Oh, why? Why?

Oh, why? Why?

I'm just doing what I can

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

I'm just doing what I can

I'm just doin' it

I'm just doing what I can

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

Why? Why?

Raphael Saadiq's an ancient future brother

Unconventional, doing it his way

And doing it well
