Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What have I missed livin' like this?
Who'd think I'd get this far? Fancy house and my fancy car
Why you livin' like this together as kids?
You were my best of friend, all the trouble you got up in
[Verse 2]
See, I've been there, and I been scared
I been discriminated against and compared
To you whose my brother, thanks to you I discovered
There's only one way to go in life, and that's be right
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
See, I've been there, and I been scared
I been discriminated against and compared
To you whose my mother, now through you I discovered
There's only one way to go through life and that's be right
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
'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 boy
'Cause I knew he'd come for me and recover me, already dead
[Verse 8]
See what I'm tryna say is that I'm tryna be the best man I can be
And when I see you too, strugglin' to do the best you can do
You might run into a rock but you can't let it stop what's planned for you
So make the right choice
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
