Everyone listen what I'm 'bout to speak, singin'
Do what david did and saul didn't do
Saul was the king first but he stumbled in defeat, sinkin'
Do what david did and saul didn't do
He looked good (looked good)
He looked fine (looked fine)
Yet he really lost his mind

Before I knew him dave was watchin' jesse's sheep, slingin'
Do what david did and saul didn't do
Told them god's plan, "jesse, that child's meant to be king and"
Do what david did and saul didn't do
He knocked on (he knocked on)
Goliath's door (goliath's door)
He knocked on goliath's door
And helped israel win the war

Oh whoa!
I knew he was valiant enough
Yes, I did, and so I told him, you're a king god can really love

Now read together nearly everything that they did and
Do what david did and saul didn't do
'Cept for bathsheba 'cause that was a mistake, sinning
Do what david did and saul didn't do
Now I've heard (I've heard)
He's fine (he's fine)
I've heard he's fine
Let me tell you one more time

Oh whoa! I knew it was gonna be rough
Yes, I did, and so I told him, you'll be king, just believe and trust

Now read together first and second samuel's pages and
Do what david did and saul didn't do
I'm in half of it, that's how it got my name, dig it?
Do what david did and saul didn't do
Now I've heard (I've heard)
He's fine (he's fine)
I've heard he's fine
Let me tell you one more time
