Lyrics for Right Place Wrong Time

I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing But must have used the wrong line I been on the right trip But I must have used the wrong car Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time My head is in a bad place But I'm having such a good time I've been running trying to get hung up in my mind Really got to give myself a good talking to this time Just need a little brain salad surgery I got to que my insecurity But I've been in the wrong place But it must have been the right time I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong song I been in the right vein But it seems like a wrong arm I been in the right world But it seems like wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong Slipping, dodging, sneaking, creeping, hiding out down the street See my life shaking with every who I meet Refried confusion is making itself clear Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here But I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line I took the right road But I must have took a wrong turn I took a right move But I made it at the wrong time I was in the right trip But I made it in the wrong car Head is in a good place, and I wonder what it's bad for
