What have I missed living like this?
00:09
Who'd think I'd get this far
00:14
Fancy house and my fancy car
00:17
Why you living like this
00:19
Together as kids?
00:22
You were my best of friend
00:25
All the trouble you got up in
00:27
See, I been there
00:30
And I been scared
00:33
I been discriminated against and compared
00:35
To you who's my brother
00:40
Thanks to you I discovered
00:43
There's only one way to go in life
00:45
And that's be right
00:48
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
00:50
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
00:56
See me, I ain't always done right (right, right, right)
01:01
That's why I'm here to help you fight (fight)
01:06
To do right
01:10
You were the queen in my future
01:13
I was the one you was used to
01:15
It was like we were one
01:18
Up under the sun
01:21
And narcotics in your system
01:23
The love I should have I missed it
01:25
Now look what we've become
01:28
But I shouldn't judge
01:31
See, I been there
01:33
And I been scared
01:35
I been discriminated against and compared
01:38
To you who's my mother
01:43
Now through you I've discovered
01:46
There's only one way to go through life
01:48
And that's be right
01:51
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
01:53
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
01:58
See me, I ain't always done right (right, right, right)
02:04
That's why I'm here to help you fight (fight)
02:08
To do right
02:12
'Cause in life there are decisions to make
02:17
But it's your choice
02:20
But I chose to walk away rather than wilding out
02:23
And get locked away
02:25
See my friends all chose the fast money
02:27
But I chose my Father
02:30
'Cause I knew he'd come for me
02:33
And recover me, already dead
02:34
See what I'm trying to say is
02:37
That I'm trying to be the best man I can be
02:39
And when I see you too
02:43
Struggling to do the best you can do
02:45
You may run into a rock
02:47
But you can't let it stop what's planned for you
02:50
So make the right choice
02:53
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
02:55
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
03:01
See me, I ain't always done right (right, right, right)
03:06
That's why I'm here to help you fight (fight)
03:11
To do right
03:17
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
03:19
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
03:22
See me, I ain't always done right (right, right, right)
03:27
That's why I'm here to help you fight (fight)
03:32
To do right
03:37
There's only one way to do right (right, right, right)
