A whole ton of hip hop songs do this but the main one for me is Real Gone Kid by Deacon Blue (god I love this song): "I'll do what I should have did". Love that line so much, gonna get it on a t-shirt.
There's also Missy Elliot "get my hair did" (Work It) and Drake: "nails done hair done everything did" (Fancy).
What others are there? Bonus points for non-rap stuff. And were the big DB the first to do this?

cpl suggested by chums:
not quite the same thing but The Smiths have that bit in Cemetry Gates that goes "You say : "'Ere long done do does did".
What's bin did and what's bin hid by Donovan in 1965
don't like the donovan one though, too trippy dippy zany drug rubbish and not just fucking with words for the hell of it, like ricky ross and co
