[Verse 1: Zi] I don't drink much but homie pop a bottle Toast to the things we chose to ride for See I need to live for something I can die for No matter what the feeling is the only thing I follow See I can take a little bit from Koran and the Bible A free spirit f** a limit sh**ting on role models 'Cause it's your life live it how you want it You won't get it twice and 'till God takes it back you own it So don't be afraid to make up your own rules As long as they don't harm anyone you're cool See I'd rather be a lost shepherd than a sheep on the right path And in my mind anything I want turns into something I might have Pessimistic mother f**ers telling me it's not like that I tell 'em hold that thought let me prove you wrong and I'll be right back [Chorus: Zi] I'd rather have fear of an insecure future than regrets in a secure present I'd rather follow my heart and feel like a loser than to follow somebody else's I'd rather have fear of an insecure future than regrets in a secure present I'd rather follow my heart and feel like a loser than to follow somebody else's [Verse 2: Zi] It's funny how to make ends meet we gotta do a full split They say shoot for the stars I walk around with a full clip And put so many bullets into orbit Always got time for people but got no time for people's bullsh** My heart will guide me in the right direction that's my strong belief My biggest goal in life is to be free and even if it's hard to be At least I won't die as a victim of this social authority All trying to fit in that one box then wonder why they have a hard time to breath See knowledge is a weapon and everybody's packing their guns But when you think about it there's a thin line between happy and dumb You say you ain't a slave but you're acting like one Who is it best to be the saddest king or the happiest bum
I look down take a couple steps back and I jump [Chorus: Zi] I'd rather have fear of an insecure future than regrets in a secure present I'd rather follow my heart and feel like a loser than to follow somebody else's I'd rather have fear of an insecure future than regrets in a secure present I'd rather follow my heart and feel like a loser than to follow somebody else's [Verse 3: Zi] See we gon' rise hopefully And maybe not socially And locally or globally only God knows it B But either way I won't let nobody tell me what I'm supposed me See we gon' rise hopefully And maybe not socially And locally or globally only God knows it B But either way I won't let nobody tell me what I'm supposed me 'Cause I'm a F.R.E.E.thinker And if you feel me put your mother f**ing drink up If you're tired of living only on the weekends See you can fight for anything but are you fighting for the right reasons Fate and luck man the f** afraid of what? To make mistakes and maybe never make enough To pay the cost and maybe never make a buck Man the only sure thing in life is d**h you ain't safe I'd rather fall for something I love than fall for something I hate [Chorus: Zi] I'd rather have fear of an insecure future than regrets in a secure present I'd rather follow my heart and feel like a loser than to follow somebody else's I'd rather have fear of an insecure future than regrets in a secure present I'd rather follow my heart and feel like a loser than to follow somebody else's [Outro: Zi] See we gon' rise hopefully And maybe not socially And locally or globally only God knows it B But either way I won't let nobody tell me what I'm supposed me See we gon' rise hopefully And maybe not socially And locally or globally only God knows it B But either way I won't let nobody tell me what I'm supposed me
