Lyrics to You Better Mind

Chorus (2x):
You better mind, children,
You better mind, my Lord,
Lord knows you got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.

You better mind how you backbite,
You better mind what you backbiting 'bout,
You got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.

You talk about suin,
You talk about jail,
(Watch your mouth)
You said brother don't you mention my name,
You got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.

(Chorus)

You better mind how you lie,
You better mind what you're lying about.
You got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.

You meet that liar coming down the street,
(Look out brother)
Next thing he'll do he'll show his teeth,
You got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.

(Chorus)

You keep on running to your neighbor's house,
Early in the morning before you get out,
You got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.

You say I haven't got long to stay,
But you'll take a seat, you'll stay all day.
You got to give an account in the judgement,
You better mind.
