Better Get It Right the First Time (最好第一次做对) - Rhiannon Giddens[00:00:00]
Written by:Rhiannon Giddens/Dirk Powell/Justin Harrington[00:00:00]
Young man was a good man[00:00:01]
Always went to school[00:00:04]
Young man was a good man[00:00:07]
Never played the fool[00:00:09]
Young man was a good man[00:00:13]
Never had no drama[00:00:15]
Young man was a good man[00:00:18]
Always took care of his mama[00:00:20]
Young man was a good man[00:00:29]
Hanging with his boys[00:00:32]
Young man was a good man[00:00:35]
Didn't know he'd made a choice[00:00:37]
Young man was a good man[00:00:40]
Only did it twice[00:00:43]
Young man was a good man[00:00:46]
But now he's paid the price[00:00:48]
Better get it right the first time[00:00:51]
Better get it right the first time[00:00:54]
Better get it right the first time[00:00:57]
Better get it right the first time[00:01:00]
Young man was a good man[00:01:25]
Did you stand your ground[00:01:28]
Young man was a good man[00:01:31]
Is that why they took you down[00:01:33]
Young man was a good man[00:01:36]
Or did you run that day[00:01:38]
Young man was a good man[00:01:42]
Baby they shot you anyway[00:01:44]
Better get it right the first time[00:01:47]
Better get it right the first time[00:01:50]
Better get it right the first time[00:01:53]
Better get it right the first time[00:01:55]
Oh we done seen it on the daily reposting obituary pages[00:01:58]
Losing beloveds they wanna change the subject[00:02:02]
It's nothing new for the blue[00:02:04]
Is it the who or the hue[00:02:05]
It's kids watching they fathers die when they pull up the tube[00:02:07]
We know enough to be cautious[00:02:10]
But honestly it's not simple[00:02:11]
Told to reach for yo' paper[00:02:12]
They think you strapped with a pistol[00:02:14]
I was chillin' had nothin' but good intentions[00:02:15]
I knew to achieve success had to learn to finesse the system[00:02:17]
It was gpas and test scores[00:02:20]
Had to be the best for[00:02:22]
College my only option[00:02:23]
My mama told me to prep for it[00:02:24]
So it was kinda tiresome stress[00:02:26]
Reddenin' my irises[00:02:28]
I got the invite to another function like finally[00:02:29]
Had to pull up with the homiest only pouring some soda[00:02:31]
I keep a clear head[00:02:34]
Seen enough to know how it goes[00:02:35]
But I noticed they getting louder[00:02:37]
Neighbors complain 'bout the noise[00:02:38]
Before I knew it heard someone yell out[00:02:40]
Run it's the boys[00:02:42]
I didn't know what direction[00:02:42]
I hit the curb and I run[00:02:44]
Everybody loud ain't hear'em[00:02:45]
Tell me put my hands up[00:02:47]
Headed towards the lights[00:02:48]
Someone screamed my name from behind[00:02:49]
I guess you better get it right the first time[00:02:51]
