Do The Right Thing

'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 out of reach
 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
