Oddisee - First Choice lyrics

[Chorus] All must always, always go, with your first choice– Aye with your first voice–say In your mind's sight, blind by the thirst to make it work Sometimes you gotta lay it in the dirt Let 'em know Let 'em know All must always, always go, with your first choice– Aye With your first voice–say In your mind's sight, blind by the thirst to make it work Sometimes you gotta lay it in the dirt Let 'em know Let 'em know All must always, always go, with your first choice– Aye With your first voice–say In your mind's sight, blind by the thirst to make it work Sometimes you gotta lay it in the dirt to let it shine [Verse 1] Fork in road, one is chose, least i drove Nothing's easy what's a freebie? All is sold we been reaping In the fold, in the creases where I stole Lucky see me, see my lows Only highs I meant to show like all I meant to be is so [?] close to being exposed Can't have that so guard your secrets there the weakness to your foes Catch you slipping on the slope, your positions in their scope Take a hit and keep on ticking quick decision bleed to glow Freeze the gold, no need to know the answer for all reasons seem to go This ain't rocket science just have hardened mind and beat them both Over thinking overboard, soaked and sinking close to shore Could have made a fear of failure sings the forward former port [?] On accord the king to cost the Queen to cost him a loss Hindsight is stronger, believe that if he back at dawn Without the help of warnings your mornings repeat like alarms You know the answer quit dancing around it an get dressed for prom [Chorus] [Verse 2] I feel it more than ever you know The Inevitably inevitable It's better to leave than never to know Who better than me to tell me to go But the best is yet to come, will I regret this after rhyme Leave the next one next to none on a quest to manifest the destined son I don't know but I'm cool with that Foolish perhaps to choose this or that, or nothing at all This could build while that collapse and I stood on stilts now fit to fall So why make a move like, pushes sort of rude like I'm that sort of dude that wants it all to prove that it ain't all a view like Yo, Running in circles and waiting in lines Jumping the hurdles we make in our minds I'ma just go with the flow and I hope when it's over I'm over and made it in time Know in the moment the open and closing the road and roses of war before The battle was held, neglected to tell, went for the second I reckon I failed [Chorus]
