[Intro]

This is my life (Right, wrong)

[Hook]

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

[Verse 1]

You made me a leader before I was ready to lead

Took away my hunger but didn't give me greed

Made me successful when I just wanted to be heard

Give me the light, 'cause all I need is the word

Give me a life that I'm responsible for

I'll give Him what's right, 'cause I'm responsible for him

And into the night, I'm gonna be there with him

Mention a fight, I be right there with him

I'm ready for Heaven, 'cause I done been through the Hell

And since I was seven, I've had a story to tell

See, God is great, and that's why I'm still livin'

He gave to me, so I'ma keep on givin'

The bravery of a man's mind in slavery

Is makin' me the man I was made to be

I hate to see when cats know but don't spit it

Right is wrong, when it's on you gon' get it (C' mon)

[Hook]

(Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

[Verse 2]

I wake up frustrated, dawg, I'm hurtin' inside

Thinkin' about the brothers that put in work and then died

But certain have tried, a certain have cried

When it didn't go right, you hit me like—

You see, things ain't always what they seem to be

And the reason I dream of thee is he's with me

And the reason I get through things so easily

Is by the grace of God 'cause He sees the need to guide me

Walk right beside me

Because He knows what's goin' on inside me, He tried me (What?)

Knew where my heart was at, knew what I was thinkin' (Uh)

Knew when I was down and out, left dead and stinkin' (Uh, uh)

Knew when to pick me up 'cause it got too hard (Woo)

Knew when I was gonna scream out: "Please God!" (God)

And I already knew that You would be there for me

That's why I bring You together to give you the glory

[Hook]

(Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

[Verse 3]

Everyday of life is a new chapter

And it's already been foretold, so it's up to the soul to capture

The essence of it all, the meek shall inherit the Earth

Destined to rise with the call from birth

The true worth of a man is not measured by what he does for himself, but what he does for someone else

And if you help another, without concern for a reward or gold

What you give, you shall recieve tenfold (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)

And I put that on my soul, and put that on my life

And everything I own, and everything I know

And everything I show is what I was meant to do

Everything I told you is what I've been through

And everywhere I been, I was for a reason

Walked through the desert, ended up freezin'

Start there, end up where? And now they know

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

[Hook]

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever which way they go (Right, wrong)

[Outro]

Whatever which way they go

They know they gonna owe

They soul to the road they choose

It don't matter if you win or lose

You still gotta pay them dues

You still gotta pay them dues

You still gotta pay them dues
