Lyrics
Straight is the way
I wanna be straight
Let me get to work early not late
I wanna be straight
Walking the narrow road not the wide gate
God didn't make me gay
I know you didn't make me this way
Kindness and happiness I could not find
So I shut down the straight part of my mind
You gotta get straight and
Let your light shine before men
Don't steal grapes from the grocery store
You don't need to be a thief no more
Be fruitful and multiply, just walk away from sin
All of our righteousness is as filthy rags
Treat people like you waana be treated, don't call gay folks fags
Hold on to the word of God with all your might
Don't beat people on the head with the bible, just shine your light
We were born in sin and shaped in iniquity
And we don't have a heaven or hell to put anybody in, you see
These words apply to both you and me
We gotta get straight, Jesus can set the captive free
Straight is the way for you and me
Speeding in your car
With the bible on your dash
Your witness can't go far when you're the cause of the crash
You scream hallelujah, jump & shout
When I don't do what you like you cuss me out
It's not too late to quit
Being a double-minded hypocrite
I gotta get straight
Jesus can set the captive free
Straight is the way
To happiness and freedom
Lord knows we all need "um
Stand up and walk right
Jesus already won the fight
You don't need no pipe
Juggle something legit
Beat down the devil, make him quit
Clean it up and get a new smell
You don't want to wake up in hell
The price is right, walk in the light
Hear what I say straight is the way (repeat 2x's)
