  • You do the right thing, you know you inspire me
    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me
    Can't go wrong, can't go wrong
    Wrong (this one's for you, you, you)
    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me (you, you, you)

    Look, you tried to keep me away from temptation
    Introduced me to The Temptations
    Marvin Gaye and Isley Brothers
    Dancing so hard the living room shaking
    Yeah we dance in the house
    My mama's the man of the house
    Mama you too good for them men
    Even dad, you too good for him
    Mama you know you inspire me
    You deserve early retirement
    You text me, tell me to take my vitamins
    When I got a new love you invite 'em in
    When we break up, you don't like 'em then (no)
    Loyal, loyal, swear you super loyal
    Worth more to me than striking oil
    You deserve the life I'm tryna show ya
    I remember all of the sacrifices
    Growing up in debt, but never hungry
    Rich in everything except money
    That's that faith that you can't buy
    But I buy that crib, you look right in it
    I buy that new car in the color that you like it in
    And play my song every single time you drive in it
    That's 'cause you inspired it (yeah)

    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me
    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me
    Can't go wrong, can't go wrong
    Wrong
    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me

    I know it's hard to get me on the line
    I'm busy like every other time
    Since I got a house in that other town
    You wonder when I'ma come around
    I know you worry about me
    I give you attitude like, "Don't worry 'bout it"
    Don't hit ya up like I don't care about you
    But I hold you down, man I swear I got you
    I know I got problems communicating
    I probably should've went to school
    And got that degree in communications
    I should be with you on vacation
    I should take you where you should be taken
    Asia, Africa, Dubai, anything you want, I do buy
    Just want you to know I do try
    To take care of ya, mama
    You the one, you the one, you the one
    You the moon, you the stars, you the sun
    I'm so happy I'm your son
    I'm so happy I'm your son
    You love me since day one
    Since before day one
    So before the day's done
    I gotta, gotta let you know

    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me
    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me
    Can't go wrong, can't go wrong
    Wrong
    You do the right thing, you know you inspire me

    Look, mama, you know you inspire me
    If I ever made you not feel like it, then this is my apology
    So sorry, look, dear mama you know your son shine for ya
    I'm Sean for ya, my lady
    Don't you ever let 'em talk to you crazy
    Anything for the fam, how you raise me
    I'm yo baby but you still my baby
