You see you created with this one unique thing that nobody else has
And thats your brain witht this brain it's going to let you decide which way you're going to choose
Choose your paths wisely…

So, the only thing I said to myself

…fight or stay in the house
So I wasn't gon' stay in the house for nobody....
