[Verse One]

As I rightly divide, between truth and lies

I can present with proof how He knew these guys

Were goin' to cry on Him, spit on Him and gonna lie on Him

Third day from layin' away was gonna rise on them

Took His righteousness purged my sin

Blood drippin' from the cross as He urges men

Some servin' Him, puttin' 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 settin' me

Straight from all angles, givin' charge to all angels the star spangled

Banner doesn't have anything on Hosanna

Cause the manner, in which He does things for His offspring

As awesome as it seems, it's right and good

Cause I'm flossin' the King tonight in 'hoods


[Chorus]

Brothers in the front we don't stunt cause we livin' righteous

Homies on my left ain't no death cause we livin' righteous

Shorties in the back we don't slack cause we livin' righteous

Righteous livin' righteous livin'

Homies on my right we alright cause we livin' righteous

Brothers in the front we don't stunt cause we livin' righteous

Shorties on my left ain't no death cause we livin' righteous

Righteous livin' righteous livin'


[Verse Two]

First I was unclean, it was so dark I was unseen

Now my light beams, runnin' 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, castin' in my cares cause my hurt is His

Writin' 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 lies

Or kingdom livin' all of us Christians are forgiven for that awful livin'

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 goin' higher in Christ so now I book flight


[Chorus]


[Verse Three]

All of a sudden His righteousness is like a lifestyle

Callin' my brothers come outta strugglin' to Christ now

All of you cluckers put down the drugs and throw the pipe down

Get rid of the sinful livin' 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 bru I stay saved

My wave praise, we set free from them slave days

Fightin' with givin', when you can be ignited and get righteous livin'

And right with God I take a look back into history

I'm seein' the death no longer a mystery

Seein' 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
