Text: Mario. Do Right.
(feat. Akon)
[Verse 1:]
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.
[Bridge:]
See I been deaf, 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.
[Chorus:]
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 aint always done right, right, right, right,
That's why I'm here to help you fight, fight, to do right.
[Verse 2:]
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 unlisted,
Now look what we've become,
But I shouldn't judge.
[Bridge:]
See I been deaf, 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 in life and that's be right.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
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 Father.
Cause I knew he'd come for me and recover me, already dead.
See what I'm trying to say, is 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.
[Chorus x2]
