Choices

[Verse 1: Oddisee] Right about now it’s about that time For me to say on record what I think off line I made a choice to be a man if you ain’t, that’s fine How you identify your biz I don’t make that mine First thing I ever planned was a pregnancy Before I had a child never I thought about destiny Was cheffing up a beat it wasn’t off of no recipe When labels came to peep it I would offer a specialty 95 north I’m in the office who checking me Could have went south like New Orleans or Tennessee Nothing meant to be еven a calling collect fee Cause ain’t еffecting me, involved in what’s stressing me Was brought up by enemies that were off in their energy It was often my guardians that would part on me misery Their heart was in place where jobs wouldn’t let them be I made a choice to never let the toxins into me, eventually [Chorus: BeMyFiasco] I keep hearing voice drowning out the sounds La, lala, lala La, lala, lala, la la I keep making choices trying not to drown Ooo I need you now La, lala, lala, la la [Verse 2: Phonte] I’m thinking back on my block Way before I knew if this rapping would happen or not I used to stand and just watch my OG’s say shit like If this don’t pan out, we going back to the pots Let’s exam in the plot And just imagine that you standing at a crossroads To overcome or overkill You could choose to politic it or choose to keep it real And still get your whole family shot like olan mills All for the benjamins tell me, what’s the benefit Wait too long and you choose wrong dog I will never hear the end of it Stress on my chest it’s a need I feed with weed and acetaminophen Just so I can roll with the punches and the upper cuts Under the pressure I feel it When choosing a life that is neither ideal nor idyllic My friends in low places, keep me in high spirits So I’m out [Chorus: BeMyFiasco] I keep hearing voice drowning out the sounds La, lala, lala La, lala, lala, la la I keep making choices trying not to drown Ooo I need you now La, lala, lala, la la [Verse 3: Kay Young] Yeah, I’m proud, I ain’t ever quit I’d be lying if I said, I didn’t think it From a young child, God gave me a vision And ever since I’ve been about my business But when the road gets tough and life gets hard Hit you in the face not once but twice or more Don’t throw in the towel, oh baby don’t oh baby no Don’t worry joy's on the other side Cause when I hit the stage and I get blinded by the lights Crowd singing my lyrics is a different kind of high Sold a bag of merch, floating on a cloud Take a few pics with the fans so wild Oh! I’ma do it I’ma do it Aye! In my DNA so fluid Oh! Made a promise to myself just own it Aye! And show the young Kay I’m still going Im still going [Chorus: BeMyFiasco] I keep hearing voice drowning out the sounds La, lala, lala La, lala, lala, la la I keep making choices trying not to drown Ooo I need you now La, lala, lala, la la
