| Yeah
|
| I wonder why I ain’t take the easy way out 'cause, it was all mapped out for me
|
| before I was even born
|
| People hitting me for inside on they lives kept me from making obtuse choices
|
| They ask me «what pushed you to be a alternate breed?»
|
| I tell 'em just because I fit the description, doesn’t mean the description
|
| fits me
|
| Yeah, look
|
| I wonder why I ain’t take the easy way out
|
| Pressure to the cool, I could’ve went the street route down the street from it
|
| My first job I pocketed daily 300 illegally, and a paycheck weekly
|
| Green paper, made it human nature, to need more of it off of bad behavior
|
| Freedom endangered, still go through mom jackets for dollars inside receipts
|
| Only thing about needing more of it, needing it makes you weak
|
| You bought clothes for the fellas that notice your wardrobe to get jumped at a
|
| road
|
| Heart rate replicated out for morse code
|
| Could be going towards the light when you walking towards home
|
| The records award show demon
|
| Impossible to pressure on eternal bleeding
|
| You could put a price on product but not a price on freedom
|
| Same bricks, same concrete, different people in the hospital
|
| Same ventilator we breathe through
|
| to advice
|
| Being accepted by nobody that’s doing nothing with they life does nothing for
|
| your life
|
| That gangster shit ain’t cool no more, the tough guy ain’t popular in school no
|
| more
|
| After graduating they was deleting in each way
|
| I was friends with people 'cause I seen them every weekday, right
|
| I made a choice and peer pressure couldn’t hold me
|
| I just wanna be the proof, the street path ain’t the only for us
|
| I wanna serve my purpose
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| I’m still
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| I wanna serve my purpose
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| I’m still
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| It’s obvious why I took the difficult way, the non-statistical way
|
| 'Cause, people look at me as the hope to get out this place
|
| I was blessed more when I took more minutes to pray throughout the day
|
| Haven’t become a father 'cause I got a little brother and sis to raised
|
| No killing people 'cause I got more lives to save, not take
|
| I make peace with my broken pieces
|
| Loving parts of myself people don’t solely agree with
|
| Wish my grandma could see this, I know you could still look
|
| Kids putting my raps as they quote in the yearbook
|
| And a brother tellin' me that I helped him escape cancer
|
| Because I DMed him back and he thought I wouldn’t answer
|
| Sent him a paragraph to push hard and pray through
|
| And months go by, he say «I'm free 'cause of you»
|
| Wait, look
|
| Had to let that line breathe since God gave me the keys
|
| I believe, I truly am a alternate breed
|
| Never waited for circumstances, to change my scene
|
| That’s like waiting for God to bless you with no work in between, uh
|
| No waiting for consent, know that’s your inner being, uh
|
| In paths that I’ve chose made, paths for my bros
|
| Made a, ass out my foes being
|
| I hate shortcuts, the journey shouldn’t be rushed
|
| I wanna mentally be there before my body show up, yeah
|
| I wanna serve my purpose
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| I’m still
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| I wanna serve my purpose
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made
|
| I’m still
|
| Thankful for the choices that I made |
