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

I'm asked to speak but not to tell the truth
Anonymously in the credits you can check the proof
In the camera, innovators and creators real
In the mirror imitators and the takers steal
That's a practice put in action that could win awards
Yeah we love the frauds
But hate the ones that really come with cause
Moment of silence for me, I don't really need applause

I was never one to let things go easy believe me, I wish I could let it all fly/
I know it’s not classy but when life pass me I stare, & I whistle as the girl walks by/
My mother taught me better, she learned it from the hood/
Don’t bother chasing gold be complacent with the wood/
But I was like what ever, I’m never one to listen, I ventured into woods other people wouldn’t dare/
Entitled like I’m rich so I always thought I could/
In the world not a care when you’re full of ambition/
Following the trails to the cities made of myths/

Sorry I called, too many times/
The way you left me earlier left plenty on my mind/
So henny on the grind/
Saying I ain’t deserving you, blaming me for the fall/
Or the decline, I ain’t involved in us/
My heart of ice left you salty, dissolving trust/
I know I’m faulty but, that’s not a crime/
In forty eight hours we’ll be fine like Nolte/

I never asked to be born, and death's no question
The sun's still shining off the same old lessons
Then why does life feel like an educated guess and
My thoughts are like meals I'm a sucker for the seconds.
Impressions got a lot of us stressing,
But how we are perceived is more about a reflection
The reception warm that I receive
Which leads to believe these hoes like what I heave.

[Chorus]
Everything that happens is from now on
This is pouring rain
This is paralyzed

[Verse 1]
When the hairs on the back of my neck are raise up & my heart is pumping
usually that means, it's the start of something same feeling when you come across what you're afraid of

When you told me the truth, even if it really hurt
'Cause you knew a lie was worse (that's love)
When you let me borrow money, that you didn't really have
'Cause you knew what I was worth (that's love)
When I was at my worst, you would tell me I would blow
When I thought that I would burst (that's love)
You taught me how to help others, and through that discovered
How to put myself first

[Chorus]
So get yourself fixed up,
I'll take you out round town,
I swear you'll never witness anything quite as fine,
Thank God the gold is mine,
Thank God the gold is mine,
Thank God the gold is mine,

Hot damn son where should I start/
on my sleeves I was wearing my heart/
My beliefs I was tearing apart/
cause she was my religion I declared as an art/
Idolized her, itemized her/
fiend for the esteem I secrete & supplied her/
for I too am to blame for I used her/
to view her's a living proclaim I'm not a loser/

I'm feeling so good right now/
as if everything I'm saying's understood right now/
usually I'm all biz, preoccupied with should/
but now a brother playing with could right now/
see I could just dial up this smile/
I ain't seen in a while f*ck or just have a night on town/
shucks, I love options, good life now/

One mans trash is another man's treasure/
but most men treasure what other men have/
so little thrown away to the many that will never/
grasp what few view as pennies in the grass/
& underneath the grass are the roots of inequality/
creating all the bumps we come across on the path/
& I don't have a green thumb & neither niggas/
& having a money tree is a luxury of class/

You were there from the start/
taught me to be aware of the sharks & prepare for the dark/
you kept a secret you practiced what you were preaching against/
your inner demons were praying I would tear apart/
you won't admit but you competed just a little a bit/
I could tell cause you'd be heated over little sh*t/
telling me to quit trying & get real/
I got a little shine you was like big deal/
