Doin' What's Right

The only thing that he feared was God

He was tough as nails, he didn't spare the rod

'Cause he loved us kids

Yeah, he did

Raised us up straight and strong

Said be your own man, don't you tag along

With the wrong crowd

He said, listen now

Don't you let nobody tell you what you need to do

Just listen to that voice that's talkin' deep inside of you, sayin'

Don't sell out

Don't you compromise

If it's something you believe in

Son, you may have to fight

But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right

Well, things have changed in the world today

No black and white, just shades of grey

And we know it ain't right

Taking pills to sleep at night

My old man still lives in me

And I'm seeing things that he said I'd see

But I won't give in

'Cause I remember when

He told me not to live my life for anybody else

Son, the only thing you have to do is answer to yourself, sayin'

Don't sell out

Don't you compromise

If it's something you believe in

Son, you may have to fight

But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right

He said, it may be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do

And if anybody's got your back it'll be a precious few, sayin'

Don't sell out

Don't you compromise

If it's something you believe in

Son, you may have to fight

But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right
