[Verse 1]
Money, fame, power, numbers
God damn society getting dumber
Wealth, help, need it, ego
Faith in my phone but I don’t trust people
Need to get a hundred million
They tell me I ain’t shit unless I make a killing
Black people dying daily
Saying yes sir just please do not kill me
Money running the world and power killing our dreams
It’s taking the boys and girls and turning them into feins
We forcing them outta kids before they even a teen
We showing em how to live destroying they self esteem
Fuck they life fucking right
Fuck a nigga you ain’t white
Pull a trigger take a life
Pay check looking nice
Everybody crooked right?
You wanna live you better fight
God might say we all die tonight
[Hook]
Choices
Choices (choices, choices)
[Verse 2]
Celebrities all that matter they idols and Gods alike
We're focused on entertainment forget about living life
They say that this life a game I’m learning it as I go
I’m out-running my fears that’s dying and being broke
I’m analyzing my peers and noticing that they cope
I notice that they ain’t here they living within they phone
I’m watching them disappear like niggas them black folk
They saying it’s gotta change that niggas can’t lose hope
We dancing away the pain and laughing at true jokes
What’s the chances I get fame before the noose close
But ain’t nobody care cause we're busy with new clothes
And clicking on the camera perfecting the cool pose
Stunting on our friends and flexing on our foes
Worthy of attention it’s crucial the world knows
The only thing important that money and clout grows
Cause we know that we can’t never be nothing without those
Social feeds give me clout
How to handle pain 101 no doubt
Drugs, drink, sex yes
Give me everything to alleviate stress
Family work choose your life
Better pick it proper or you finna pay the price
Present future life death
Tryna live now but focused on what’s next
