It’s Yours
[Intro]
(Ayy, Bob Lee, where'd you find this?)
Uh, uh
Uh
[Verse 1]
A product of what the government caused (Uh-huh)
Exposed to shoe box money and guns in the drawers (Uh-huh)
From where you can't show your weakness is one of the laws (Nah)
Sleeping with no mattress taught me to cover my flaws (Yo)
We was poor, so my mother was budgeting by our means (Means)
But these Ecko Tees ain't helping my self esteem ('Steem)
Niggas in class wore throw backs, Rocawear jeans and Jordans
Compared to fashion, education didn't seem important (Right?)
My peers had drug priors (Right?)
Mask and glove, dictating bass like they umpires (Right?)
Whether you was using the drugs or wеre the suppliers (Right?)
Last pеrson that you wanna see in court was judge Myers
Niggas hate judge Myers
Moms prayed to God, he gave me some options (Uh)
I could indulge in what I seen on Brabant and Lockman (Uh)
Or I can go pursue my dreams, doing this rhyme shit (Right?)
Me and Flu had the potential with no one to guide it (Nah)
Older niggas knew we was gifted (Gifted)
But we didn't have somebody to help us with our vision (Vision)
Brook took us to Dee and hit up Neight and it was written (Written)
Neight drove me through the hood
Told me that the life I want is based on my decisions
He said
[Chorus]
You want the life that's predicted? Then it's yours
Twenty three hours in prison, then it's yours
Become another statistic, then it's yours
(This type of shit that happens every day, I—)
You want the fame and the riches? Then it's yours
Cars with the bad of bitches, then it's yours
Mansions, white picket fences, then it's yours
I'm in pursuit
Mom's prayed to God, he gave me some options
[Verse 2]
My side of SI's treacherous grounds
People tried to gentrify it and got swept out the town
Where they more out of bounds than geometric (Right?)
You better shape up
'Cause if a square try angles, dudes'll let off a round
My rich white friends came to school in drop-top Benzes
And if they dropped out, they go work for they father's business
Type of opportunities wasn't aligned for niggas
Either a bullshit job or did a crime to get it, so
Shout out my bro's, Blaze, Greedy and Pugie
Got knocked for how we built economy in this country
Went inside for bids (What else?)
Did they time as men
Changed they lives for they kids and now they getting clean money
Just the prime examples
In this life, I'm not given anything I can't handle
Try to make the right choice when I get the chance to
Don't ever overthrow your vision
The life that you wanna make is based on your decision (It's yours)
[Outro]
Word up, it's like, boom, man, like
If I could teach somebody somethin'
Y'know what I'm sayin', whether it's from my achievements
My successes and all that
Or my failures, man
Like, I, I hope that somebody could learn from it, you know what I'm sayin'? Like
As I went through a lot, we all goin' through a lot
You already gotta know that it's based on your decisions, man
It's yours
In the sunshine
Everybody loves the sunshine
