[Hook] We always have a choice At least I think we do Always tried so hard I thought this to be true [Verse 1: Havoc] Ashes to ashes, I'm in love with a**es How you chasing p**y but don't see that money pa**ing? Pa**, shoot, pow. Would you answer if I asked you? How long you think that silly living gonna last you? And where you see yourself in like five years? Time fly - you ain't dealing 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 thinking "how'd I ever blow this?" And them OGs know this But we laugh when they approach us Experience is the best coaches So I'mma listen Mouth shut and ears open [Hook] [Verse 2: Havoc] 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 Disrespecting rappers that I adored enormously It was me, but then it wasn't me A certain reason why these hoes only wanted me Looking for the truth but it was right in front of me Pound one-love but I wasn't even loving me Living like my head was on backwards Good for me, now your a** is on back taxes No role models No practice n***as wiling 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 [Hook] [Verse 3: Havoc] 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, sure negate Been through a lot on the grind together Not just a president of the struggle I'm a member [Hook] x 3
