E-Dubble - What It Do lyrics

I've seen some souls be friendly
I've seen some feet get loose
I've had some people in my life
Who know just what it do
I try to look for goodness
Even when I see bad
I've seen some souls be friendly
I've seen some feet get loose
I've had some people in my life
Who know just what it do
I try to look for goodness
Even when I see bad

'98 when I made my first beat tape
I was trippin'
I was thinking I could be great
Four track Tascam in my brief case
Back when I would cop my
Jordan's straight up outta Eastbay
I was just 15 with some big dreams
Big shoes, big heart, no big screen
Big talls, big balls, no fig leaves
Double-X-L well before I spit at 16
I was trippin': I was waiting
For the right time
I was trippin': I was looking
For the right place
I was trippin': I was searching
For the right words took a wrong turn
Now my head is in the right space
I was trippin': I was taking
All the wrong pills
I was trippin': I was righting
All the wrong wrongs
I was trippin': I was writing
All the right songs
Looking for a miracle? You're fucking
With the right one

I've seen some souls be friendly
I've seen some feet get loose
I've had some people in my life
Who know just what it do
I try to look for goodness
Even when I see bad (Yo, yo, yo)

I guess it started with a big bang
Like a gun shot
When the fall came, and we all stop
Never school for the fools when the sun drops
We were having mad fun running
From the young cops
I was on that low brow, thinking too much
Cynicism hit me early like the cold crush
Did the knowledge until college
Then I froze up
Realize I ain't even working on my post up
Had a good shot though, with a big chip
But my shoulders were beholden
To that dope shit
I was thinking 'bout rhymes
I was dreaming 'bout beats
I was biding my time
I was sowing these seeds
I was - too cold to know
That I ain't old enough
Too grown to know that I ain't growing up
Two Tones was home so just throw it up
Black Paisley is back so just pour it up

I've seen some souls be friendly
I've seen some feet get loose
I've had some people in my life
Who know just what it do
I try to look for goodness
Even when I see bad

I am that Two Tone Rebel, Paisley stain
I got some skin so thick I was made for pain
Never change my name, just check my veins
All the Wallace brave hearts
I'm the next to reign
I'm E-Dubble, powers combine when we troubled
I still lose grip and shit I still fumble
Always get it back even when I'm off track
Cause, I'm never off beat and
I'm never on whack
God damn, how the fuck they let me get in
I just showed up with a couple
Records looking to spin and
Lookin' to win, my cup been filled with a gin
I got the juice now too
Still sick with a pen
And sick with the keys, and sick with my PC
My beats be off the meat rack fo' sheezy
You see he - love the early arts
You can't see me
Two Tone Rebel entrusts you still need me

I've seen some souls be friendly
I've seen some feet get loose
I've had some people in my life
Who know just what it do
I try to look for goodness
Even when I see bad
I've seen some souls be friendly
I've seen some feet get loose
I've had some people in my life
Who know just what it do
I try to look for goodness
Even when I see bad
