Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)

[Verse 2]
I wake up frustrated, dawg, I'm hurtin'✦ inside✦
Thinkin'✦ about✦ the brothers that put in work and then died
But certain✦ have tried, a certain✦ have cried
When it didn't go right, you hit me like—
You see, things ain't always what they seem to be
And the reason✦ I dream of thee is he's with me
And the reason✦ I get through things so easily✦
Is by the grace of God 'cause He sees the need to guide me
Walk right beside✦ me
Because He knows what's goin' on inside✦ me, He tried me (What?)
Knew where my heart was at, knew what I was thinkin'✦ (Uh)
Knew when I was down and out, left dead and stinkin'✦ (Uh, uh)
Knew when to pick me up 'cause it got too hard (Woo)
Knew when I was gonna✦ scream out: "Please God!" (God)
And I already✦ knew that You would be there for me
That's why I bring You together to give you the glory✦
[Hook]

Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)

Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
[Verse 3]
Everyday of life is a new chapter
And it's already✦ been foretold, so it's up to the soul to capture
The essence of it all, the meek shall inherit the Earth
Destined to rise with the call from birth
The true worth of a man is not measured by what he does for himself, but what he does for someone else
And if you help another, without concern for a reward✦ or gold
What you give, you shall recieve tenfold (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
And I put that on my soul, and put that on my life
And everything✦ I own, and everything✦ I know
And everything✦ I show is what I was meant to do
Everything✦ I told you is what I've been through
And everywhere I been, I was for a reason✦
Walked✦ through the desert, ended✦ up freezin'
Start there, end up where? And now they know
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
[Hook]
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
Whatever✦ which way they go (Right, wrong)
[Outro]
Whatever✦ which way they go
They know they gonna✦ owe
They soul to the road they choose
It don't matter if you win or lose
You still gotta✦ pay them dues
You still gotta✦ pay them dues
You still gotta✦ pay them dues
