You Decide

[Chorus:] You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now [First Verse:] Making a name for myself with some help From the books on the shelf It’s a Catch-22, Give ‘Em Hell Catch another fool Talkin’ shit ‘bout the crew No, you gotta choose now Let ‘em loose or be yourself I can see it in your eyes in the conversation No patience, seeming a little blatant How many lines you gotta spit to get the compensation? Why you wanna ask me if I thought I saw you in a feature film? Can’t make your decisions Bright-made decisions to end your life Fresh with it on a mission, right? I’m really trying to get this tonight And do something wrong, ‘cause I’ll travel South No answer, I questioned how Ancestors are less than proud? If so, I’ll detest them now And tell them what I can accomplish Know the look, you astonished and I barely started Take a little but I give a little somethin’ Back to it like I made it out of nothin’ Bad music ain’t the same, sayin’ one thing ‘cause everybody sayin’ they be eatin’ And they hungry for somethin’ I’m feastin’ on meals that they paid for And they think I’m fake like a dummy? I think it’s funny How I get up on my grind Like I’m bored, and with time I get smarter with money In my head, in my head, instrumental No time for your fucked-up arpeggios Who will make it? I can’t take it I’m tryna save it, I’m tryna save it I’m runnin’ races - fast Know it’s bad when I can’t think of verses Know it’s bad when it’s fucked-up after rehearsal Know it’s bad when we argue about shit that ain’t certain Yet you want to change, well is it worth a little pain? You decide [Chorus:] You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now [Second Verse:] That’s black on the market, red on the carpet Dead when they mess with the artists and star shit Heartless Heard the 808s in the projects Creatin’ all the concepts, feelin’ like an object Singin’ all the songs, stringin’ me along Leavin’ it alone, breathin’ ‘til you’re gone Made another choice, played another pawn Meet me in the dust, stay until the dawn I’m a Contra, listen, contradict addiction Winnin’ by decision, no innings but the ninth cloud Not enough strife for the pride, you decide Whether I should oblige all the lies? You can die Pink skies, motherfucker, dark nights, and I’m shining so bright ‘til the wrongs turn right, shed light on the cause-and-effect All the pauses, it ends when the song is recorded And I’m just doing me Young dream with a beat Young lean on that whip Lookin’ real real cool Got a brand-new hit Gonna get this shit On a whole new sound In a whole new ground And I’m making these rounds Standing on a new platform Stand up, understand what I stand for Understand, not a grand that I ask for I’m a man, I’m advanced, shit I’m bearfore Give it time, do it right, when you plan for You just ruined my life with your plans though How could you stop with it when you just promised it? I’m just an optimist, you’re such a pessimist I was a narcissist, you lost all interest In making my confidence Boost, like a mobile phone “Fucking hate you,” text you sent me Let’s be honest, done with venting Said that you care but that shit was a fallacy You can be simple, I’m Complex like magazines Practiced at modesty, look at the prophecy You could be leaving behind Shit’s so hard to find I really know that I was out of line But you could save me so much time If you made up your mind I know it [Chorus:] You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now (right now, right now, oh) You decide, you decide right now You decide, you decide right now (you decide right now) You decide, you decide right now (oh, you decide, you decide, right now) [Vocalizing]
