Righteous Lyrics

VERSE 1: As I / rightly divide / between truth and lies / I can / present with proof / how He knew these guys / were gonna cry on Him / spit on Him / and gonna lie on Him / Third day from laying away / was gonna rise on them / Took His righteousness / purged my sin / Blood's dripping from the cross / as He urges men / Some serving Him / put in position to come and bird with Him / I mean to fly / most definitely want to fly / If I draw nigh to Him / He'll draw nigh to me / I see God through Him / that D-E-A-T /-H / Setting me straight / from all angles / Giving charge to all angels / The star spangled / banner / doesn't have anything on Hosanna /
Cause the manner by which He does things / for His offspring / as awesome as it seems / it's right and good / cause I'm flossing the King / tonight in hoods

CHORUS: Brothers in the front we don't stunt cause we living righteous / Homies on my left ain't no death cause we living righteous / Shorties in the back we don't slack cause we living righteous / Righteous living / Righteous living / Homies on my right we alright cause we living righteous / Brothers in the front we don't stunt cause we living righteous / Shorties on my left ain't no death cause we living righteous / Righteous living / Righteous living

VERSE 2: First I was unclean / It was so dark I was unseen / Now my light beams / Running to Christ or it might seem / that I might cling / to the righteousness of the King / Or I might fiend / for the dream of the bigger things / cause the earth is His / Casting my cares cause my hurt is His / Writing my songs / and my verse is His / The Body of Christ or the Church is His / I search the Scriptures of God to see what my purpose is / to give Him glory / Now I recognize / I testified then I blessed the God / that rectified / my wickedness when I was petrified / Edified the Body of Christ for them kingdom lives / or kingdom living / All of us Christians are forgiven for their awful living / To the beginners don't assemble yourself with the sinners / All of us and Jesus are winners / now I look right / cause of the blood now I look white / I'm going higher in Christ / so now I book flight

VERSE 3: All of a sudden His righteousness is like a lifestyle / Calling my brothers come outta struggling to Christ now / All of you cluckers put down the drugs and throw the pipe down / Get rid of the sinful living and come into life now / Take a look at the bigger picture and see mistakes made / Be a witness for Christians and see Christ has the way made / Way paved / The daybreak bruh I stay saved / My way praise / We set free from them slave days / Fighting with / giving / when you can be ignited and get / righteous living / and right with God / I take a look back into history / I'm seeing the death / No longer a mystery / Seeing Him resurrect / My righteousness / is that of a filthy rag / My righteousness / is that of a filthy rag / My righteousness / is that of a filthy rag / I confess / I was guilty Dad / but then You cleansed me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
