Decisions
I always lose
But I never chose
My life has no meaning
I have this deep pitted feeling
Life is unfair
Because there is always a dare
You can take a chance
But you step and glance
Should you jump?
Would you spare your life?
Dares and chances cut through you like a knife
You can't take it anymore
Up ahead lies the 'Death Door'
Should you go?
You don't know what to do
But you know you cannot choose two
Which one?
You chose life
Life is as precious as a stone
And as fragile as a bone
You chose the right door
Game over, you don't have to play anymore
You did your best
As your life was put to the test
It's over now
So go ahead and take that bow
Let this be a lesson to you
This game of life can confuse you
Play it well
Then you will tell
How you are going to choose
In this game you always lose
Reality
A strong black brother doesn't shed a tear
A strong black brother never wants to hear
Sorry son, but your moms is dead
They removed her from the hospital bed
They layin' her to rest
She was shot in the chest
You pause for a moment, man that could have been you
While you were out last night with your crew
Hangin' around
While your moms laid dead on the ground
At her funeral you blamed yourself for her death
As she took that last breath
She called your name,
She said you're not to blame,
Even though her death was caused by your friend
You're gonna look back on this all the way until the end
Now you really hopin' this is a dream
Your friends aren't what they seem
Now your boy doin' sixty to life
Your moms was thinkin',
"I should have brought that knife"
This is a reality check, a wake up call
Don't slip up, you'll be the first to fall
Y'all strong black brothers have to stick together
'cause your moms ain't always gonna be there forever
