Do Dat Lyrics

[ HOOK ]

Can I be a doctor? Can I be a lawyer? Can I be a leader?
Can I be an astronaut? Engineer, Teacher, Preacher, in the moVIES the main feature?
Can I be like Venus, Serena, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, maybe Derek Jeter?
Can I be a counselor, therapist, evangelist, political activist or computer analyst?

[ VERSE ]

Y’ know how dey count you out
how dey spreadin doubt
And Say you can’t (pause)
do somethin they know nothin ‘bout?
People run day mouth
In the North and the South
Mackin' like dey got a whole LOT a clout
They might be close to you
It'slike they opposin you
That’s what they chose to do
Not what they supposed to do
Do stuff that foes would do
Won’t let you be chosen few
Laugh at your goals

(drag)

have no clue of what your going through…

[ VERSE ]

What if I told you that
I, can be all that
With a little help from Christ?
And I could show you that
I, could do all that
Would you admit that I was right?
Whether you like it or not
I’m headed for the top…
My pull is stronger than a raging bull or ox
I’m clever like a fox
I’m a Let the Wisdom Drop
The mighty will of God CAN NOT BE STOPPED!!!

They say you not a man
they tell you “no you can’t”
they tell you take yo plans
an’ tho’ em in the garbage can
Their opinion's whack
They jus talkin smack - They call you a fool jack
an’that aint cool black

you under attack ! cause-I-know you on the rise
like black quarterbacks
you aint got to take dat
when you get yo kool back
look in his grill and say “I CAN DO DAT”
