Righteous Lyrics

[Intro]
Two bands that I represent (Right?)
One time for the main event (Right?)
Oh, God, there’s a dawn to break
Right? Right? Right?

[Chorus]
Two bands that I represent (Right?)
One time for the main event (Right?)
Oh, God, there’s a dawn to break
Right? Right? Right?

[Verse 1]
Yeah, two bands I represent but I serve only one God, hol’ up
One thing for sure, I be a man of God
That’s on my mother, 못으로 박아
작정했다고 앨범 거만한 놈들 다 굽힐게 오늘 righteous
겸손하게 eat ’em one 뒤엔 three nine’s
안 바뀌어 이 number, righteous (Brother, how you doing?)
I’ma say it, righteous, righteous, righteous

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, wait, wait
On this red ocean, 위에 탔어 wave, wave (탔어 wave)
Yeah, 다들 물어보네, how you do it?
I took that question like a selfie, 포즈 취해

[Chorus]
Two bands that I represent (Right?)
One time for the main event (Right?)
Oh, God, there’s a dawn to break
Right? Right? Right?

[Verse 2]
Two planes for a victory lap, 지구 두 바퀴 돌아 (Oh)
Switching flights like 바꿔 쓰는 비번 (Yap, yap)
밤과 낮 섞어줘 딜러 총명과 맺었어 인연 (Hold up)
비밀이 돌아 소문에 의하면, we’re all just statues
비밀이 돌아 소문에 의하면, statues gon’ breathe soon
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn
Shining ever brighter than the full light of day
Shining ever brighter than the full light of day

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, wait, wait (Hold up, wait)
On this red ocean, 위에 탔어 wave (위에 탔어 wave, yeah)
Yeah, 다들 물어보네 how you do it?
I took that question like a selfie, 포즈 취해

[Chorus]
Two bands that I represent (Right?)
One time for the main event (Right?)
Oh, God, there’s a dawn to break
Right? Right? Right?

[Bridge]
누군 내게 말해너는 domestic
근데 지금 지구 반대편이야 honestly
이제 차 얘기는 질려 my plane too quick
나는 땅을 흔든다고 I never trick
누군 내게 말해 너는 domestic
근데 지금 지구 반대편이야 honestly
이제 차 얘기는 질려 my plane too quick
나는 땅을 흔든다고 I never trick
누군 내게 말해 너는 domestic
근데 지금 지구 반대편이야 honestly
이제 차 얘기는 질려 my plane too quick
나는 땅을 흔든다고 I never trick

[Outro]
Two bands that I represent (Right?)
One time for the main event (Right?)
Oh, God, there’s a world to wake
Right? Right? Right? Right?

Righteous Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, MARK sets the stage with a rhetorical question, “Right?” emphasizing his assurance in the message he is about to convey. The repeated use of “Right?” introduces a self-assured rhythm, signaling that the following lyrics will assert his purpose and beliefs, preparing listeners for the main theme of the song.

[Chorus]
The chorus reiterates the idea of duality and purpose with the phrase “Two bands that I represent” while hinting at the conflict of balancing multiple roles. By repeatedly asking, “Right?” the chorus highlights a confident affirmation of his identity and mission. The lines suggest that there is a significant event about to unfold, invoking the image of a new beginning or “a dawn to break.”

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, MARK presents himself as someone who represents two forces but ultimately serves one God, setting the tone for his inner conflict and spiritual integrity. The verse touches on humility and the need for perseverance, while also asserting his unshakable commitment to righteousness. The use of numbers like “three nine’s” underscores the certainty and consistency of his choices, portraying a strong sense of purpose.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, MARK reflects on his journey, metaphorically riding the “red ocean” and navigating the waves. The pre-chorus introduces a sense of confidence in his approach to life’s challenges, framing the journey as one of self-expression. His response to those who question his actions is framed as self-assured, almost as if he’s posing for a “selfie”—an image of self-reflection and composure in the face of external scrutiny.

[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces the idea of balancing two identities or paths, asserting that despite these complexities, there is a greater divine purpose guiding MARK’s journey. The rising tension in the melody suggests an imminent breakthrough or realization, echoing the theme of personal transformation and divine purpose.

[Verse 2]
The second verse expands on the theme of victory and global movement, symbolizing his success as he metaphorically travels the world. By referencing switching “flights” and mixing “day and night,” MARK further explores his balancing act between different worlds—personal, professional, and spiritual. The verse also evokes a sense of timelessness, alluding to fate, destiny, and the concept of statues coming to life, which symbolizes how his righteousness will transcend time.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this pre-chorus, the tone of confidence is amplified. By referencing the “red ocean” and the “wave,” it underscores his mastery over the unpredictable nature of his life’s journey. The phrase “how you do it?” further emphasizes the outside world’s curiosity about his success, yet MARK remains unmoved, posing with ease in the face of scrutiny.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus brings forward the duality of representing two forces, but still emphasizes the singularity of his purpose and mission. The repetition reinforces the idea that despite external chaos or confusion, his path is clear and resolute, symbolized by the “dawn to break.”

[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a reflective shift, where MARK addresses the perception of his life as “domestic” while contrasting it with his global lifestyle. The “plane too quick” symbolizes how fast his journey is progressing, hinting at a sense of detachment from mundane matters. He reiterates that he will not be deceived, affirming his commitment to truth and purpose. This section exemplifies his refusal to conform to limitations placed by society, further solidifying his stance on living a righteous and truthful life.

[Outro]
The outro revisits the themes of the intro and chorus, reinforcing the repetition of the “two bands” and the anticipation of a new beginning. The question “Right?” once again echoes, leaving listeners with a sense of lingering confidence and determination as the song draws to a close, suggesting that the journey of righteousness continues to unfold.
