(Chorus): We always have a choice At least I think we do Always tried so hard I thought this to be true Ashes to ashes, I'm in love with a**es How you chasin' p**y but don't see that money pa**in'? Pa**, shoot, pow. Would you answer if I asked you? How long you think that silly livin' gonna last you? And where you see yourself in like five years? Time fly - you ain't dealin' with light years Need a bright idea that'll take me outa here But misery brought my company And I ask it what it want from me My focus It'll eat up any ambition like locusts I could never see myself bein' on that broke sh** Pry way down thinkin' "how'd I ever blow this?" And them OGs know this But we laugh when they approach us Experience is the best coaches So Imma listen Mouth shut and ears open (Chorus) I'm doin things I did in nine-five in the youtube era I'm bent on camera, catchin all of my errors Drunk sayin' things that I wouldn't say normally Disrespectin' rappers that I adored enormously It was me, but then it wasn't me A certain reason why these hoes only wanted me Lookin' for the truth but it was right in front of me Pound one-love but I wasn't even lovin' me Livin' like my head was on backwards ______ now your a** is on back taxes No role models No practice n***as wilin' out around me got your boy on the black list Consider this verse like a soundtrack to my life Down 3-1, can I bounce back? No question, faith will lead you People make mistakes But mistakes make people (Chorus) Yeah, I love hip-hop cause it gave me that outlet To express things about me I ain't figured out yet Me and it got an unbreakable bond Even when it's down south, that's my mothaf**in dawg Brought me through the storm Past all the hate And no matter what it may (surely negate?) Been through a lot on the grind together Not just a president of the struggle I'm a member (Chorus) x 3
