Super Tight Sessions
Mr. Phelps × Super Tight Woody
The Episode
"My whole approach is if I show my story, somebody's going to believe that they could do it, too."
Mr. Phelps walked into the studio as an encourager and walked out with a song that proves it. "You Can Do It Too" was built from scratch in one session — starting from a soul-gospel sample, layered with live drums, and fueled by a message that came straight from his life story.
From Watts, California to acres of land in upstate New York — this song is the soundtrack to that journey and an invitation for anyone who needs to hear it.

The Journey
Growing up in Watts, there are a lot of people who don't believe they can get out, make it, and build something of their own. Mr. Phelps is living proof that they can.
His philosophy is simple: show your story. If one person sees your journey and believes they can do it too, you've already won. That's not a marketing strategy — that's a way of life.
The move from Watts to upstate New York wasn't about leaving his story behind. It was about writing the next chapter — one with land, family, peace, and purpose. And still making beats every single day.
Watts, California
Where the story starts. Growing up in one of LA's toughest neighborhoods, surrounded by people who didn't believe getting out was possible.
Music as the Way Out
Leaning into his craft, believing in the work when nobody else did. Making music not just for himself but to show others it could be done.
Major Placements
McDonald's. Toyota. ESPN. Fortnite. The music started landing in places that proved the grind was real.
Content as Encouragement
Sharing the process on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok. Not for clout — to show people that if he can do it, they can do it too.
Upstate New York
Acres of land. Family. Peace. Purpose. Growth doesn't mean leaving your story behind — it means building the life you actually want.
Don't live through me, man. You can do it, too.
— Mr. Phelps · You Can Do It Too · Super Tight Sessions
Lyrics
Intro
Don't live through me Man you can do it too Yeah
Hook
Made it out the hood, you could do it too I just cop 20 acres, you could do it too Made my dreams come true, you could do it too You could do it too, you could do it too I'm a hero to my kids, you can do it too Lady feel like a queen, you can do it too Recognize I'm a king, you could do it too You could do it too, you could do it too
Verse
Ever since I was a young'n I would dream big Make it out the hood, buy my mama crib Seeing is believing, you see what I did They try to say it wasn't possible But I hurdled every obstacle It was hard to bounce back when my brother died Look up in that mirror, devil is a lie Heard your voice from the sky said, you better rise Even when it's dark, keep spreading light Even when you knocked, you going be all right A little spark can start a forest fire I can't lose, it's a fixed fight Dust clears never settle Never settle Push the pedal to the metal To the metal Go for gold, new levels New levels Cut the strings, I'm Geppetto Yeah
Outro
If you just focus your energy you can do it too Then anything is possible Literally anything. You can do it too
The Production
Built from soul-gospel samples and live drums. Super Tight Woody dug through his sample collection, found something that felt like Sunday morning, and built the beat in real time while Mr. Phelps caught the vibe and started writing.
The Message
This isn't a song about bragging. It's a song about showing. Every line is an invitation — made it out the hood, you can do it too. Hero to my kids, you can do it too. The repetition isn't a hook. It's a mantra.
The Philosophy
Mr. Phelps believes that showing your process is more powerful than showing your results. His content isn't about flexing — it's about encouraging. If one person sees his journey and believes they can build the life they want, the mission is accomplished.
