Oh you saw that?
Yea I mean, you know I always wanted to do this, so
I'm not young anymore, so I might as well try, right?
If I fail, I fail
Used to be the safe one
Now I don't want to break noth'n
I know it's going to ache some,
'Cuz I don't want to fake noth'n
'Cuz every time, when I walk by
You want to fold, and I want to fight
So get something right, got to earn my stripes
I can't live twice, so I choose life
Used to be the safe one
Now I don't want to break noth'n
I know it's going to ache some
'Cuz I don't want to fake noth'n
'Cuz every time, when I walk by
You want to fold, and I want to fight
So get something right, got to earn my stripes
I can't live twice, so I choose life
I choose life, I choose life, I choose life
I know I play around but it's alright
Staring into space, think I might take flight
I been around the way, but it's in tonight
I'm praying up to God, wonder if this right
I feel there's something more to my story, know like
Being on TV, entertaining no type
Only one life, and I got a couple strikes
Paying in time, I just want to know the price
'Cuz every time, I see where I am
Don't know what's the plan but I know where to go
And I see signs that I'll be the man
But without a plan, I feel there's no hope
But every line I write, when I dream at night
Feel it's mine and it might be so close
I don't know why, but I built up inside
Now I see that I'm great, don't explain it away
'Cuz every time, when I walk by
You want to fold, and I want to fight
So get something right, got to earn my stripes
I can't live twice, so I choose life
Used to be the safe one
Now I don't want to break noth'n
I know it's going to ache some
'Cuz I don't want to fake noth'n
'Cuz every time, when I walk by
You want to fold, and I want to fight
So get something right, I got to earn my stripes
I can't live twice, so I choose life
I choose life, I choose life, I choose life
I been up, and I been down
What they don't tell you, you go round and round
I'm on my way, I own my fate
Working so hard 'cuz I know I'm late
I'm just trying to catch up to my dreams
All I really needed was a shot of self esteem
Used to only go on what I see
Now I feel I'm moving close to who I want to be
'Cuz if this ain't exciting, then what the hell am I fighting for
I'm dead when I stop trying
So I can take a break when I take it all the way
So till that day, I decided
That looking good ain't worth lying for
So when you see my diamonds
Know that I stayed the same when you take it all away
'Cuz every time, when I walk by
You want to fold, and I want to fight
So get something right, got to earn my stripes
I can't live twice, so I choose life
Used to be the safe one
Now I don't want to break noth'n
I know it's going to ache some,
'Cuz I don't want to fake noth'n
'Cuz every time, when I walk by
You want to fold, and I want to fight
So get something right, I got to earn my stripes
I can't live twice, so I choose life
I choose life, I choose life, I choose life
