It’s Yours

Lyrics
[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 Free motherfuckin' samples, nigga
