Do It For You
Song Meaning
Da' T.R.U.T.H. describes his own change in specifically physical terms rather than vague spiritual language: "breath life from my dry bones, pump red blood in my blue veins." The imagery borrows from a body coming back from something closer to death than mere improvement.
The chorus, sung by featured artist Irving Washington, turns one person's story into an offer rather than just a testimony: "if He did it for me, He can do it for you... you can take my word cause I've been there." The song's whole structure depends on that handoff — personal change becoming evidence for someone else's possibility.
Ezekiel's vision of dry bones given breath and turned into a living army gives the opening line its exact source, and Paul's declaration that anyone in Christ is a new creation backs up the song's confidence that the change wasn't cosmetic. "He's no respecter of persons," borrowed from Peter's own realization that God shows no favoritism, closes the loop on why the offer in the chorus applies to literally anyone listening, not just the two people trading verses.
Put ya top down
Put ya top down
And if you at the show, put your hands up
Put your hands up
Ohhhhh...
Today is a good day
Feel so alive in a new way
Breath life from my dry bones
Pump red blood in my blue veins
Living outta my suitcase
Now I know Him in a new way
Heard about Him in HD
But now I see Him in Blu-ray
Drinking from the living well
Never said I'm rich but I'm living well
Cause I got that [?]
And I got that bread
That's life at the dinner bell
Yeah, tell 'em "welcome to the good life"
Couple days, lot of good nights
Off death row, Suge Knight
Future, look bright
[Chorus - Irving Washington:]
If He did it for me
He can do it for you
If he did it for one
HE can do it for two
You can take my word cause I've been there
I'll tell you the truth
If he did it for me
He can do it for you
Know that he can do it for you...
Tell 'em "welcome to the high life"
God doing big things when he [?]
If you wanna see his highlights...
Just take a look into my life
I'm a walking miracle
Tryna go where the Spirit goes
Got a brand new suit and a fresh black tie
Saying welcome to my burial
Gotta tell 'em my support is high
You part of the reason that I'm mortified
And you part of the reason why I'm fortified
Now I smile when I look into my daughter's eyes
Keep praying that I choose life
Cause I can make a mess like a food fight
But he can turn death into new life
That's why me induced like, ohhh!
[Chorus x2]
Jesus love you so much
And he's no respecter of persons
If he set me free and made me alive
He can do the same for you
Ehhh
I'm just here to tell you
If He did it for my
He can do it for you, ohhhh!
