[English]

What have I missed living like this?

Who'd think I'd get this far

Fancy house and my fancy car

Why you living like this

Together as kids?

You were my best of friend

All the trouble you got up in

See, I been there

And I 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

And 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 been scared

I been discriminated against and compared

To you who's my mother

Now through you I've 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 wilding out

And get locked away

See my friends all chose the fast money

But I chose my Father

'Cause I knew he'd come for me

And recover me, already dead

See what I'm trying to say is

That I'm trying to be the best man I can be

And when I see you too

Struggling to do the best you can do

You may run into a rock

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

There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
