Lyrics
Don't lose your eye, man, to spite your face
I don't want you to lose your eye, man, to spite your face
Because if people started snitchin' on you
Can't hide at no place
If you do wrong, the world gonna find you out
If you do wrong to any person, the world gon' find you out
You know you can't do wrong and get by
Ain't no need in tryin' to dodge that doubt
If I was you, I'd play fair in anything I do
If I was you, I would play fair in anything I do
Any time the people find out that you're crooked, man
They're not gon' do nothin' in the world for you
My daddy taught me ever since I was a child
My daddy taught me ever since I was a child
Always treat your neighbors right
Be fair with your friends likewise
