[Hook]
We always have a choice
At least I think we do
Always tried so hard
I thought this to be true
[Verse 1: Havoc]
Ashes to ashes, I'm in love with a**es
How you chasing p**y but don't see that money pa**ing?
Pa**, shoot, pow. Would you answer if I asked you?
How long you think that silly living gonna last you?
And where you see yourself in like five years?
Time fly - you ain't dealing with light years
Need a bright idea that'll take me outa here
But misery brought my company
And I ask it what it want from me
My focus
It'll eat up any ambition like locusts
I could never see myself bein' on that broke sh**
Pry way down thinking "how'd I ever blow this?"
And them OGs know this
But we laugh when they approach us
Experience is the best coaches
So I'mma listen
Mouth shut and ears open
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Havoc]
I'm doin things I did in nine-five in the Youtube era
I'm bent on camera, catchin all of my errors
Drunk sayin' things that I wouldn't say normally
Disrespecting rappers that I adored enormously
It was me, but then it wasn't me
A certain reason why these hoes only wanted me
Looking for the truth but it was right in front of me
Pound one-love but I wasn't even loving me
Living like my head was on backwards
Good for me, now your a** is on back taxes
No role models
No practice
n***as wiling out around me got your boy on the black list
Consider this verse like a soundtrack to my life
Down 3-1, can I bounce back?
No question, faith will lead you
People make mistakes
But mistakes make people
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Havoc]
Yeah, I love hip-hop cause it gave me that outlet
To express things about me I ain't figured out yet
Me and it got an unbreakable bond
Even when it's down south, that's my mothaf**in dawg
Brought me through the storm
Past all the hate
And no matter what it may, sure negate
Been through a lot on the grind together
Not just a president of the struggle
I'm a member
