Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I said ****, pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I told him, **** pick a side
Yeah, he was chillin' with 'em **** from the other side
Came and told 'em other guys
He was blind
He ain't seen the gang wanna divide
Tryna take away his brother's life
It was too late when they told him, ****, pick a side (pick a side)
Ain't no way out, ain't no place to hide
He knew he ain't gotta choose non
Coz if he does, he gon' die
Tryna survive a street life
God is good, God is wise
Tried to troll a pastor
With some gang vibes
He told him, "My son, we only live once
So be careful what you do
Coz once you in, ain't no turnin' back"
After those words
He never slept at night
Prayin' to the Lord for a sign
He ain't wanna die and go to the other side
Didn't wanna be a lost soul, stuck between 'em lines
I be lookin' from a distance
I don't wanna be a part of 'em ****
I don't wanna carry straps
Even though I ain't livin' the life I see on social media
And wish sometimes I had
But I'll never lie, I'll never whine
My mama did her best to provide
I don't like violence now
I'm a businessman
Violence is a big expense
Put me last, put 'em rich kids first
I was talkin' after silence, walkin' behind
But that was never a sign
Nah, I ain't weak
I was tryna be humble, had to stay discreet. (had to stay discreet)
Told em **** if they want a battle
I'm available
I ain't afraid of you
Sometimes I rap like I ain't normal
I go insane, I might need medical
Voices in my head like a symphony
Demons in the dark tryna visit me
Ain't no peace when you live like a criminal
All these memories turn digital
Tryna numb the pain, but it never fade (never fade)
All this war in my mind, got my soul decayed (soul decayed)
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I said ****, pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I told him, **** pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I said ****, pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I told him, **** pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I said ****, pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
Pick a side
I told him, **** pick a side
