Let's Do This Right

Yo

Yeah, it's me

Lyfe

With the Y

And I'm dedicating this to all my brothers under lockdown

You know, y'all know who you all be

And I also wanna dedicate this to everybody who

Been something for a long time

Been tricked into believing that they wasn't nothing

Y'all know who you all be

This one's for my peoples locked up

Know we keep you in our prayers

And ain't forgot about you out here, no

Call me whenever you feel

'Cause I know a lot of folks don't keep it real

I know they got their own life, but still

When you love someone, you let them know

You don't let them go

It's hard enough being alone

Missing your family, missing your home

Whether you're right or wrong, I'll be by your side

Keeping your hope alive

I know how it feels to cry

So you ain't alone in your struggle for life

To my people

Hold up, let's do this right

First, blaze one for all my fellas that ain't here with us tonight

Hold up, let's do this right

First, blaze one for all my fellas that ain't here with us tonight

Some of them for life

And your kids are doing just fine

The youngest reminds me of you all the time

He even shoots that ugly jumper from the foul line like you do

And your girl, she's doing okay

But don't concern yourself with if she will or won't wait

You'll just drive yourself crazy with stuff you can't change

There's better ways to occupy your time

Opening up your mind

It's a troubling time out here

Your kids need your guidance even from in there

And no matter when or where, I won't abandon you

'Cause that ain't what friends do

Still got a lot of love

And I pray to God, through my actions, you'll know how much, yeah

Hold up, let's do this right

First blaze, one for all my fellas that ain't here with us tonight

Hold up, let's do this right

First, blaze one for all my fellas that ain't here with us tonight

Some of them for life

For all my people who ain't coming home at all

There's many children who could learn from your experience

Have a heart, get involved

And for all my people who gon' see the streets one more time

You've got another chance at life

Count your blessings every night

Hold up, let's do this right

First, blaze one for all my fellas that ain't here with us tonight

Hold up, let's do this right

First, blaze one for all my fellas that ain't here with us tonight

If don't nobody else love you all

If don't nobody else remember y'all

Y'all ain't even gotta pay for these, these free

That's my word, that's my word, son

For everybody else, I do got mouths to feed

I do got mouths to feed

Lyfe, the soundtrack to your life
