Do Right Man

Man, I remember like it was just yesterday bro

Everything seemed so clear to me... you know Worlds would align and everything seemed so fine

And I could find my own peace of mind Do you remember the rejection?

That left you stranded, with no direction But like a phoenix we rise from the ashes, resurrected

I'm done doin' wrong babe (said I'm done)

Here we go!

She's staring up inside, looking 'round with no fate.

This love takes a ride so we fight all the hate

These people held me down, chained me up to their fear(s)

(To their fears)

So now it seems the only thing left, is my dream Chorus/Refrain:

Why did you lie? Go on and try... to fix me up

I had to bleed, to set free... the grip of your love Let me go and dance... and make that romance Cause I'm do right man.

I'm a do, do... lord knows I'm a do right man

The calm set wind comes around to blow my face

Tribulating trials, throw them out, leave no trace Looking back in retrospect, I gather what is done

Now, if only fair complexion justice hadn't been so dumb.

Chorus/Refrain:

Why did you lie? Go on and try... to fix me up

I had to bleed, to set free... the grip of your love Let me go and dance... and make that romance Cause I'm do right man

I'm a do, do... lord knows I'm a do right man Rap:

Leave for a day so we come out to play

We (are) left on the street, like a fucking disgrace

Scared of my hood, wish you would understood all the pain in the gain of a reverent fool, head of a state of a nation of tools.

Born out of greatness, I hope you are keen

To look to the sights that we never have seen

This our heritage, we don't neglect it, stay copacetic. I hope you are ready for steady inventions of all our dreams.

I'm just lookin' around with a frown

Hoping to find the messiah once promised, we lost it, now found in the ground, what have we done?

You just don't want to see me and my people rise up to the evils that be

Scared of my hood, wish you would understood, all the beauty and pride that we locked up inside.

Why did you lie? Go on and try... to fix me up

I had to bleed, to set free... the grip of your love Let me go and dance... and make that romance

Cause I'm do right man

I'm a do, do... lord knows I'm a do right man.
