Choices

[Verse]

I sit by the water and reflect on the choices I made

My choice to never get signed and exploited by fame

I took a year off from rappin', got annoyed by the game

Influenced by the wrong people who poisoned my brain

We been forced inside a world and born to beliefs

They told me that the Earth is only rewarded to meeks

Wasted years of my life on the boys I would date

That made it harder trust a man for my choices to stay

Uh-uh, I never choose myself

So my consequences to that is that I lose myself

I was drunk and fell asleep while drivin', I heard a voice

Took a break from drinkin', now I'm here 'cause I made that choice

My choices put me in a position, I lost it all

Tryna get a leg up could potentially cost my arm

Friends startin' problems and never fix what they cause

So they choose to walk away before they admit they was wrong

My choices left me broken, the reason I'm scarred

And my choices left me hopeless, sleepin' in cars

Burnt bridges that left me bleedin', feedin' the sharks

Opportunity never knocked to get the keys to my heart

Wisdom is the gift that's earned by your age

And a fool is a man who never learns from mistakes

Nowadays, it's hard avoiding the stress

When you think about the people that your choices affect

[Chorus]

And that's real (That's real), and that's the reason I'm scarred (That's the reason)

And that's the reason I'm scarred, and that's the reason I'm scarred, uh

And that's the reason I'm scarred (That's the reason)

And that's the reason I'm scarred, and that's the reason it's hard, uh

And that's the reason I'm scarred (That's the reason)

That's the reason it's hard, that's the reason it's hard, shit

And that's the reason I'm scarred, uh (That's the reason)

That's the reason
