Do Right Lyrics
What have I missed living like this?
Who'd think I'd get this far, fancy house and my fancy car
While you're living like this? Together as kids
You were my best of friend, all the trouble you got up in
See I've been there and I've been scared
I been discriminated against and compared
To you who's my brother, thanks to you I discovered
There's only one way to go in life and that's be right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
See me, I ain't always done right, right, right, right
That's why I'm here to help you fight, fight to do right
You were the queen in my future, I was the one you was used to
It was like we were one up under the sun
Then narcotics in your system, the love I should have I missed it
Now look what we've become, but I shouldn't judge
See I been there and I've been scared
I've been discriminated against and compared
To you who's my mother, now through you I discovered
There's only one way to go through life and that's be right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
See me, I ain't always done right, right, right, right
That's why I'm here to help you fight, fight to do right
'Cause in life there are decisions to make but it's your choice
But I chose to walk away rather than wildin' out and get locked away
See my friends all chose the fast money but I chose my voice
'Cause I knew He'd come for me and would cover me on rainy days
See what I'm trying to say is that I'm trying to be the best man I could be
And wanna see you to struggle to do the best you can do
You may run into a block but you can't let it stop what's planned for you
So make the right choice
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
See me, I ain't always done right, right, right, right
That's why I'm here to help you fight, fight to do right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
There's only one way to do right, right, right, right
See me, I ain't always done right, right, right, right
That's why I'm here to help you fight, fight to do right
