Decision

[Chorus: Jamie Foxx]

I made a decision

Despite all the things that we go through

I'm going to take more time with you

And be a friend indeed

I made a decision

That everything's gon' be alright

Going to stay strong and keep it tight

I'll be there indeed

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]

Yes, let me talk to you

See when it feels like the sun ain't shining bright enough

It's like the devil's trying to work to give an idol up

And though I'm blessed, I still got to handle the things I go through

It's good to have a friend, with another perspective to show you

Someone you know that knows you and gives you motivation

Someone that you can go to and vent your frustrations

We always talk about our peeps, how we be everywhere

When you need them the most are they really ever there?

See, every thing be all good when we be having fun

The difference is really needing a friend than having one

It's good when your peoples are there to help your problems

And help you smile about it while finding a way to solve them

Look at here, let me keep it 100 and let me tell you

How you hold me down is something I genuinely value

I got a clearer view

And being that you're always here for me I'm there for you

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

I made a decision

Despite all the things that we go through

I'm going to take my time with you

And be a friend indeed

I made a decision

That everything's gon' be alright

Going to stay strong and keep it tight

I'll be there indeed

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]

Well, how you been baby? But I'm sayin'

Even though we probably link up every now and then

With minimal convo, look it's really good to see you friend

Something I realize is I don't even have to mention

Is whether or not you got me, that's something I never question

Sometimes I feel that the people that I love don't appreciate me

And some hate to see the shit I've been going through lately

See you was here, when it started to haywire

You're still here, walking with me going through the fire

And I really love you for it, I know you all relate to

On everything that I believe and I appreciate you

And just for that, it don't matter you can put that on my name

The way you rep me, let me be there just for you the same

Sometimes the pressure and the pain, it be wearing me out

But I thank you just for being there and for hearing me out

I got a clearer view

I thank God that you've been there for me, I'm here for you

[Chorus: John Legend]

I made a decision

Despite all the things that we go through

I'm gon' to take my time with you

And be a friend indeed

I made a decision

Everything's gon' be alright

Going to stay strong and keep it tight

I'll be there indeed

I made a decision

[Verse 3: Common]

I look in your eye and I see the pain in it

Life's a game, huh, maybe the game did it

I know I changed, they say the fame did it

Life has changed, huh, maybe the game did it

Two friends, now in two different places

And the mister catching planes, and you catching cases

Friendship, we never based it on position

No matter the game, we both shared the same vision

Decisions to split us in the place that life seemed to hit us

I would come to town and never get up, with you

Around then, things weren't so simple

I had my own issues that I was trying to get through

Outside chatter, messing with our mental

On the chase of funds, to trust, you can't forget to

It's the real friends, that you've got to tend to

No matter how far, just know that I'm with you

[Outro: John Legend & Jamie Foxx]

I made a decision

Despite all the things that we go through

I'm going to take my time with you

And be a friend indeed

I made a decision

That everything will be alright

Going to stay strong and keep it tight

I'll be there indeed

I made a decision...
