Do The Right Thing

歌詞

'Check this out' ... 'Check this out' 'Ah yeah' 'Ah yeah' 'Ah yeah' 'Ah, ah yeah' 'Ah, Ah yeah) Do the right thing, not talking about a black or white thing 'Cause that will cause conflict to make this thing legit But your definition of legit and illegitimate Is confusion now the redhead one has said To make things clearer, 'cause in about a year or two What you do is take a look up in the mirror And what you see is the image of hate That you shed upon the others of sisters and the brothers Now in my opinion you need someone to teach The whole world is acting like a giant Howard Beach I asked my man victor, what he used to do for fun He said, he learned to shoot a gun before the age of 21 Crime and abortion, all kinds of mind distortion This is very important but just a little caution Of what you can do, here's a clue and it's true, yo Don't wanna burn your sweater, make your life better, do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' Do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' Brothers are stealin' and dealin' and big wheelin' And to a younger mind that stuff is appealin' So what do they do, they gather up a crew Go out and steal and rob instead of gettin' a job Now your mother tried to bring you up better than that The same way she loved you you loved her right back But now you think you're grown and you argue a lot Over money you got from dealin' stuff on the block Now you're not the only one in the world that has problems Keep your head straight and you can surely solve them Be a fly guy and reach sky high And like the Jeffersons you get a piece of the pie I hope you take heed to the message I brought In other words: the lesson I taught The Redhead kick a lyric but I won't sing And the FBI Crew wants you, and you and you to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' Do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' Right about now we're gonna start using our own words now Gonna be counted off as we go on something like this One, two, three And Manhattan, you got to do the right thing Brooklyn, you got to do the right thing And the Bronx you got to do the right thing Bruise Island, you got to do the right thing Long Island, you got to do the right thing Staten Island, you got to do the right thing On the West Coast, you got to do the right thing Everybody, everybody in the world, you got to do the right thing Do the right thing 'Check this out' 'Ah yeah' Do the right thing 'Ah yeah' Do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' Do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' The Redhead One sendin' out a message on a positive note Try to make you all see the light when we're supposed to be in the dark Y'know, this is goin' out to my mother, to my brother To the rest of the FBI tribe And you know what I'm sayin' Everybody else in the world I just want y'all to do one thing And that's the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' Do the right thing 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing 'Do the right thing' 'Do the right thing' You got to do the right thing
