(Dillan made a hit)
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
So fucked up, cloud nine, in the sky
Do it right
Do it right
Never felt like this in my whole life
Swinging at me, throwing lefts and rights
Please take a seat, I don't want a fight
I've been trying my hardest to be nice
Staying on track, I'm moving in line
I'm still raking in the racks ho
Laughing at 'em, they're so agro
Why you gotta act so shallow
I stay like a bank with the cash flow
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
So fucked up, cloud nine, in the sky
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
Never felt like this in my whole life
Never felt like this before
Got some drugs, I need some more
She broke my heart, she started a war
What do I even do this for
I just want to do it correctly
Sending shots, bullets hitting heavy
Haunting her dreams, call me Freddy
Words cut deep, like machetes
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
So fucked up, cloud nine, in the sky
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
Never felt like this in my whole life
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
Cloud nine, in the sky
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
The N.E.C's song "It's Right" is about the struggle to stay on track and do things correctly in one's life, despite the obstacles and distractions that may come along the way. The lyrics describe being on cloud nine, feeling euphoric and high, but also feeling the pressure to do things properly and not get sidetracked. The lines "Swinging at me, throwing lefts and rights / Please take a seat, I don't want a fight" illustrate the conflict between wanting to stay focused and the external pressures that can arise.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Do it right," emphasizes the importance of staying on track and doing things correctly. The lyrics also touch on heartbreak and the frustration that can come from failed relationships. The line "What do I even do this for" expresses a sense of futility that can come from not understanding one's own motivations and desires.
The song's overall message seems to be that although life can be difficult and confusing, it's important to stay true to oneself and strive to do things the right way, even in the face of adversity.
