John Reuben - Doin' lyrics

Yeah, People been like "Yo Reuben
Where you been?
Where you been the last couple years?"
I'm like, "Hey man, I ain't gone nowhere
I just been marinating, serenading
Percolating in the lab"
So they're like "Hey yo
Man, you know, where
Where's hip hop going?"
I'm like "I don't know
But I'm here to take the game back
The game is officially mine
It's officially mine"
Hold on, everybody sing along

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

This ego was quick to say he was better
Better be correct before you step and try to
Sever my integrity please


You MC’s need to quit it
I mean do you really think that you’re
The only ones who get it
And what is it we don’t get huh?
Maybe that empty book bag that
You sport as a gimmick
To the Timberland boots that
Have never been scuffed
All the while you’re still
Hollering rugged and rough
I call your bluff you’re just
Like the rest of them
The only difference is you follow
A less popular trend, friend
Tell me how you going to dog the mainstream
Then turn around the underground and do the
Exact same thing that you’re dissing
You get what I’m putting down
I said a gimmick can be found
Above as well as underground
And since what’s real can’t be defined
By a culture or men
I’m curious as to what makes
You think that you can (Sing along)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(And all the fellas sing)
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(All the ladies sing)
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

Ideas start occurring and
Words start stirring
Never would I suggest this to be the best
It’s just I like putting words on mics
It’s something I like to do
Something I find nice
Don’t need to dominate or
Inflate my confidence
Got no problem giving emcees complements
But some get mad at me like
They want to battle me
Upset because I made the hip hop happy
Actually, I think you tough guys are corny
And my LP comes with a foolproof warranty
If you buy it and don’t like
It feel free not to listen
I’m not sure about a refund but
You’re welcome to diss it
Because I don’t, will not
And won’t ask you to
React to the beat if you ain't feeling it
But perhaps maybe you are in that case
It goes one for the treble two for the bass
Arrogance mixed with ignorance will and
Can bring forth a man
That don’t really understand but
Claims he does
And you know what? that’s not good
(No that's not good)

(And all the fellas say)
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(Hey, hey ladies)
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(And all the fellas say)
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(Now, hey ladies)
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(Don't analyze this)

Y'know what? Y'all got to be kidding
Man, some of y'all treat art like
It was some sort of religion
Following the rules one two and on through
To the point you don’t create art
Art created you y'all got to be kidding man
Some of y'all treat hip hop like
It was some sort of religion
Following the rules one two and on through
To the point you don’t create hip hop
Hip hop created you

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?
(Hit it maestro)
(I know you're gonna dig this)

As you can see
There are two kinds of people in life:
There are them that do
And there are them that dippity do
Which one are you?
As for me, I'm a dippity do-er peace
