Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The party just started, ha-ha, ha-ha
Everlast, Kurupt, Fredwreck, Kurupt
Goes somethin' like this
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
Sticker man tryin' to feed his baby
Drug dealer tryin' to raise his son
Every pimp gotta dress his lady
Come on now you ain't the only one
It go one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
It go one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
Now this is the combination of intervention
That just might open up a new dimension
I can tell, the well, just might run dry
Loss some tension of thoughts, modify and simplify
It go one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
It go one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
I said life, blast, present to the past
Hard rapper the war path
War path Kurupt young Gotti
Incredibly clever, mack auther with Everlast it's true
Do what you want to do, one, two
Mary Jane want to run smoke reefer
Little Ricky's out sniffin' rock
Cynthia, she's at the disco coked out
Doesn't matter what drugs you on
It go one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
It go one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
Game, growth, life by oath
The gifted, different toast
Talent, the mellow dramatic
Violent life in silence but this here's mine
Crystal clear ?
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
The good Lord knows just what you've been through
I say one, two, one-two-one-two
Sometimes you're just doing what you've got to do
The song "One Two" by Kurupt featuring Everlast and Fredwreck is a reflection on the struggles and hardships that people go through in life. The lyrics start with the chant "one two one-two-one-two" which is reminiscent of a boxing match - with each round, you have to endure and keep going. The lyrics delve into the lives of people who are doing what they have to do to survive, whether it is a sticker man trying to feed his baby, a drug dealer raising his son, or a pimp dressing his lady.
The chorus conveys the message that no matter what people have gone through, they are not alone. The good Lord knows what they have been through, and they are simply doing what they have to do to get by. The song speaks about the different drugs people use to help them cope with their struggles, and how it doesn't matter what drugs they are on - everyone is just trying to survive.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on how people cope with their struggles differently, with some relying on drugs while others use their talent and creativity to get through it. The song reminds us that life is a constant battle, and while things may seem bleak, we must keep going and doing what we have to do to make it through.

@mattmckeown2324
its "Stick Up man" not sticker, also gonna say he's referencing General MacArthur not Mack Auther? Especially since he mentions war path. Not sure I don't hear that well but both make sense to me so its my best guess
@irishmayo4sam
kurupt is the correct spelling !
