Navigating Broken Paths: Christopher Paul's 'Right Way' Revelations
Lyrics
You fall apart, You bring it back to me
You experience emotional breakdowns but then come back seeking support from me.
We do it over
We repeat this cycle.
It ain't your fault you leave, it's faulty things
It's not entirely your fault that you leave; it's due to problematic circumstances.
You came broken
You arrived in a state of brokenness.
And I can't bring myself to not give you help
I find it hard not to offer you assistance, though this behavior isn't good for us.
But this ain't healthy
Continuing in this manner isn't good for our well-being.
And they adore you
Others admire you.
But you don't gotta need it
You don't necessarily have to depend on this admiration.
Tellin' you you a vision
Assuring you that you're exceptional.
I wish that you could see it
I hope you could see your own worth.
What's it gonna take from me
What do I need to do for you to trust this?
For you to just believe it
To believe in your value without doubt.
Forget at the top of the world
Forget the idea of being at the peak of success.
You might have trouble breathin'
Success might make it difficult for you to cope.
'Cause I already know you dyin'
I'm aware that you're struggling internally despite external validation.
Even though you still getting a thousand likes
Even with numerous likes, you still feel a void.
Tell me why you feel that empty
Why do you feel this emptiness?
Cause the happy-face ain't satisfied
Pretending to be happy doesn’t fulfill you.
Why's it so hard to feel the
Why is it challenging to find the
Right way, right way
Correct path, the proper way of living?
Right way, right way
Repetition for emphasis on seeking the right path.
Right way, right way
-Nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Vocal sounds for emphasis and rhythm.
Nah nah nah, na nah
-Ohh ahh
More vocal sounds for emphasis and rhythm.
The things you traded out are gaining clout
The things you've exchanged for popularity are gaining attention, but they negatively affect you.
But you're allergic
You're sensitive or negatively reactive to those things.
Cause when you're fadin' out, you're sayin' how
When you're losing prominence, you admit how uncomfortable it is.
You can't stand the surface
You struggle with superficiality.
But how you take the L's and tell yourself
You accept losses but convince yourself it's acceptable when it's actually harmful.
That this was healthy
-When it wasn't healthy
-And they adore you
Reiterating how others admire you and wish you recognized your own value.
But you don't gotta need it
-Tellin' you you a vision
-I wish that you could see it
-What's it gonna take from me
Asking what it takes for you to believe in your inherent worth.
For you to just believe it
-Forget at the top of the world
Reiteration of the struggle to breathe at the top despite outward success and recognition.
You might have trouble breathin'
-'Cause I already know you dyin'
-Even though you still getting a thousand likes
-Tell me why you feel that empty
-Cause the happy-face ain't satisfied
-Why's it so hard to feel the
Continued emphasis on seeking the right path.
Right way, right way
-Right way, right way
-Right way, right way
-Oh
Expressing disappointment or frustration.
You didn't listen
Highlighting the disregard for advice, the intuition ignored, and unfulfilled promises.
Told you to keep your distance
-Out with the intuition
-It came like blurry vision
-Promises left you wishin'
-Promises left you wishin'
-Get your heart out that prison
Encouragement to free oneself from emotional confinement.
'Cause I already know you dyin'
Reiteration of the internal struggle despite external validation, questioning the emptiness despite surface contentment, and the ongoing search for the right way to live.
Even though you still getting a thousand likes
-Tell me why you feel that empty
-Cause the happy-face ain't satisfied
-Why's it so hard to feel the
-Right way, right way
-The right way, right way
-Right way, right way
-Nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Repetition for emphasis and rhythm.
