Righteous Lyrics by Big Star Johnson

Me & Mines

2018

[Verse 1]
Hallelujah
How you feel?
I swear to my mama I'ma always keep it real
To the fake, we just don't relate
We don’ sent so many prayers to be chilling with snakes
Money train to the top with just gears no brakes
'Cause I feel like I don’ popped two years too late
Man, I know niggas from my block with their hands in plates
And man it's great to see dudes emancipated
Who would have thought we’d be the ones to make it (Hahahahahaha)
Because of you I'm a star now, going far now
I'm the type of brother who can drink in any bar now
Black man (Sieo shai’shai'ghud)
Oh man it's on now
They say "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day
Teach him how to fish and show the man a way"
I done learned some things from my cuz I have to say
I just wish she got to see me pop before she passed away, damn

[Chorus]
Mama told me son you gotta pray
Please son never change
Jesus is the way
And don't forget to say your thank you’s when your popping that champagne
Keep it righteous
Just keep it righteous
Through the lessons that you learn keep it righteous
And when you see the bridges burn keep it righteous
And when you watch the tables turn

[Verse 2]
Between comparisons and vibes it's getting harder to speak
I seen niggas going off misinterpreting me
It seems like no one took the time to rewind and repeat
Try to shine a light of praise and you end up with beef
Plus the top is getting closer every time I release
And switching up is not an option when you come from the East
See conversations with my mother helped me handle defeat
She told me "God's word is the lamp to your feet
And though you walk through the valley of the shallow retweets
These streets will always be the battle between
Good and evil and not what is seen
And the truth is we all got a scheme
And the truth is we all got a dream (All got a dream x2)
And we all in this race for a whole lot of cream
Remember nothing stays the same when the Lord intervenes
And your problems ain't as tall as they seem
It's coming
Keep running

[Chorus]
Mama told me son you gotta pray
Please son never change
Jesus is the way
And don't forget to say your thank you’s when your popping that champagne
Keep it righteous
Just keep it righteous
Through the lessons that you learn keep it righteous
And when you see the bridges burn keep it righteous
And when you watch the tables turn

[Vocal breakdown]

[Chorus]
Mama told me son you gotta pray
Please son never change
Jesus is the way
And don't forget to say your thank you’s when your popping that champagne
Keep it righteous
Just keep it righteous
Through the lessons that you learn keep it righteous
And when you see the bridges burn keep it righteous
And when you watch the tables turn
