Sittin' 'round thinkin', everybody's drinkin'
Dirty mouth jokin', somebody's smokin'
What is this world coming to
They sit around and gossip, how can you stop it
Laughin' at others' expense
Couples in the bedroom, ya know what they doin'
And you're just ridin' the fence

Chorus:

Gotta do the right thang, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta do the right thang- stand up for the truth
Gotta do the right thang, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta do the right thang- there's people watchin' you

Someone is stealin', another is dealin'
Ignore it or follow your gut
Girl takes a beatin', boy is a cheatin'
Speak up or keep your mouth shut
Friends are a lyin', others are dyin'
It's easy to join the ranks
Friend is a racist, time that you faced it
Stand up and make a change

(Repeat Chorus)

Ev'rywhere I look and ev'rywhere I go
People say "just do it" but I just say, "No"
I can stand up for myself, don't tell me what to do
I wanna be like Jesus, I don't need to be like you

Rap:

Don't wanna be a druggie, don't need to be a boozer
Fill yourself with all that junk, you're nothin' but a loser
Those homeboys are a family, devoted like a brother
Graffiti, guns, and prison cells, defending one another
You know inside what's right and wrong- don't fool yourself my friend
You call it fun, you say it's cool- the Bible calls it sin
