I Choose to Live

Uh, never thought I'd be alive in a time like this The country that I come to know and love has gone amiss Can't seem to figure out the equation of separation They beguile us with persuasion, the coins they makin' Little man became a hustler just to get the bacon He's super bright but no father in sight, his soul is aching Taught to survive, momma provides, but her heart is breaking The things done to that black queen will leave your spirits shakin' War is on the rise, we've forgotten how to win it Tears in my sister's eyes, racism is so systemic Begging mercy from God as we traverse this pandemic Them rosy Gucci glasses got all of our eyes tinted To all the frontline workers who witnessed it all To the families who suffered loss and had no one to call I urge you not to quit because this is the time to stand So if you with me, lift your hands I choose to live, I choose to live I choose to live and not die I choose to live, I never quit I'mma give it all that I got I choose to live, I choose to live I choose to live and not die I choose to live, I never quit I'mma give it all that I got Yeah, I know it's been hard and everybody's goin' through We've been sacrificing doing things we thought we'd never do Working from home, wearing masks, doin' online school Shout out to class of 2020, I'm so proud of you My whole heart goes out to countries who suffer harder I send up all of my prayers for your sons and your daughters To my Asian brothers and sisters, I extend my heart 'Cause I refuse to let the past keep us torn apart Goddamn, what more does it take now For mankind to see the world as it break down? We may be a fallen race, but we in the desperate state now I'm so sick from eating lies my food won't stay down We just gotta pray now, 'cause the politicians wanna play now Look at your neighbor and say "We gotta do better" The only way to conquer is to fight this shit together Numbers ain't never lied, they can't hold us back forever I choose to live, I choose to live I choose to live and not die I choose to live, I never quit I'mma give it all that I got I choose to live, I choose to live I choose to live and not die I choose to live, I never quit I'mma give it all that I got I choose to live, I choose to live I choose to live and not die I choose to live, I never quit I'mma give it all that I got I choose to live, I choose to live I choose to live and not die I choose to live, I never quit I'mma give it all that I got I choose to live
