Choices

[Intro] Yeah… Late night, everything was quiet, Then the whole damn block got violent. Sirens in the distance… I knew something wasn't right. [Hook] Raid at the bando, had to disappear, Blue lights flashing, felt the pressure near. Heart beating fast, couldn't think too clear, One thing on my mind — just get the hell outta here. Raid at the bando, everything went black, Friends went separate, ain't nobody looking back. Thought I had it figured, life hit me with the facts, Sometimes one bad night can put your whole life off track. [Verse 1] I remember hearing footsteps, then a heavy knock, Whole room froze when they started pounding on the block. Everybody panicked, nobody knew what to say, All the plans we had disappeared in one day. I wasn't thinking money, wasn't thinking about the pack, I was thinking 'bout my freedom and if I'd make it back. Adrenaline rushing, couldn't hear my own thoughts, One moment you're living, next you're fighting what you got. [Bridge] That night taught me something I can never forget, Fast money comes with a mountain of regret. Looking in the mirror like, "Where am I headed next?" When survival is the reason, it's still a dangerous bet. [Verse 2] Morning finally came, but I barely saw the sun, Thinking 'bout the choices and the damage that was done. Everybody says they're solid till the pressure gets applied, Then you learn who's really with you when there's nowhere left to hide. I came from hard times, had to hustle just to eat, But every road I took kept bringing trouble to my feet. Now I tell the story just to show what it became— A night I won't forget and a lesson from the pain. [Hook] Raid at the bando, had to disappear, Blue lights flashing, felt the pressure near. Heart beating fast, couldn't think too clear, One thing on my mind — just get the hell outta here. Raid at the bando, everything went black, Friends went separate, ain't nobody looking back. Thought I had it figured, life hit me with the facts, Sometimes one bad night can put your whole life off track. [Outro] Yeah… Some nights change you. Some nights follow you forever. That was one of mine.
