"Right About Me" lyrics

They said I wouldn't be nothing, I almost believed him
The devil isn't known to fight fair, he hidin' them people
Cause when God touches your life, He'll be right there tryna deceive you
He might bring me down, bring me down, bring me down
But I'll never fall
Cause I do whatever is needed once I've made my mind
If they don't see the vison, I won't waste my time
How am I supposed to win if I just wait for a sign?
Rather go into it blind

Cause if they right about me
Everybody that's around me should run away, continue life without me
Cause if they right about me
God will never have allowed me to visit Hell and bring me out it
Cause if they right about me, right about me
Then how's my fire burning while they been wishing
They right about me, right about me
Momma told me I should never be listening to nobody but my guts no matter what
Lies in front of me
Cause if they right about me, right about me
Then my whole life and all of this is for nothing

I'd be damned to let 'em close to me, life ain't what it always seems
You bound for disappointment thinking you the one controlling things
You do your best, try to stay to course and he'll do the rest
That you've been holdin' on your shoulders keeps you movin' less
Reflectin' back, imagine if I listen when they try to be
My voice of reason when my dreams were bigger than they eyes can see
Tryna dim the lights, my heart was movin' on
Cause I believed I really could do anything, [?] can not agree

Cause if they right about me
Everybody that's around me should run away, continue life without me
Cause if they right about me
God will never have allowed me to visit Hell and bring me out it
Cause if they right about me, right about me
Then how's my fire burning while they been wishing
They right about me, right about me
Mama told me I should never be listenin' to nobody but my guts no matter what
Lies in front of me
Cause if they right about me, right about me
In my whole life and all of this is for nothin'
