The Right Way

Sometimes I go out driving, most of the time I got nowhere to go
 I'm 33 years old still running for my life, maybe it's time to go back home
 Safe and easy sounds so good sometimes, maybe it won't leave that much of a hole
 And then there's a spark of salvation and it testifies through the speakers on the radio
 Easy don't work with integrity, that's why the righteous road is barren and hard
 I left some of my friends dead on the shoulder, but they went out fighting and with a broken heart
 Doin' things the right way
 The only way to look back on your life is to make sure you have no regrets
 Never take the easy way out, never compromise, mind your heart, forget your head
 Never sell out your brothers and sisters, never sell yourself out or short
 And if anyone attacks part of the family, go to the mattresses, cause it's time for the war
 Many will think that they're part of the family - but they're not, you gotta stay on guard
 But always let in your brothers and sisters in with the common blood and share an uncommon heart
 Doin' things the right way
 The harder it gets - the more that it's worth it
 The more ferocious the fight - your blood boils purer
 The more you kicked your resolve gets tougher
 Remember to behold the night - be a fighter and a lover
 There aren't many of us left - we got to take our chances
 Hearts on the wire - sweet souls dancing
 When all bets are off and judgment day comes
 You're still standing - you fuckin won
 Doin' things the right way
