Lyrics

Man, failure to make a decision, is a decision
And I decided man
I decided
I’ma live ‘fore I go home to God
I’ma build before I circle the block
I’m goin’ higher before I get the job
No excuses, just refuse to never not give my all
I decided
That they don’t love me and they never will
Aye
No matter how much you give or help
Aye
But I decided that that was God’s will just to keep me rollin’ to the point where I can love myself
I decided
I gotta give you this grown man
Uh
And oh boy, I’m ‘bout to get it baby
I decided that social media was just a bird box to me
And these God wings is what’s got me escapin’
I decided
Yeah that my Black is gorgeous
And I decided that my thought was genius
No award from MacArthur and nem, but still ahead of my time words bust from this cunning linguist
That I’m the first person who deserves cursin’ when my personal plans divert and become worse and
I decided opening for rappers who dying behind curtains feeding me nightmares of dreams of my pockets burstin’
I decided rhymin’ for Common never made me common
Common sense should have told me, the truth is in that Fankie Lymon
Why this fool fall in love, they fools gold covered by diamonds
But my alignment is in the face of God’s Rolex, perfect timin’
I decided that as a lion, I’m a talk to ‘em
I hunt and eat when I want, them dogs wait to have it brought to ‘em
I house shoe ‘em, heard me
I’m comfortable living’ here
In them headlights ain’t livin’ dear, that’s false evidence givin’ fear

Said I do this for you Black child
Just to see your Black smile
Black miles walked them trail of tears
And Left a Black Nile running through the valley of the shadow death, til that Black sun rise and touch that Black dial, yeah that’s just my black style,
Black while living seem like crime look at prison
We do time for decisions they making to make they living
Tell me ask forgiveness, I ask how you forgivin’
When you still commit the sin that you condemning
This ain’t your decision
Freedom of the people is God givin’
That’s human right
They violate, that’s why the people fight
No time to be polite
The cost of your overseers oversight
Could be a folding chair across your over bite
Or get it right and save a life
