Verse 1 Aye-Yo, one way of livin’ - two options are given Burned a lot of ‘pot’ so Mommy kick me out the kitchen Hear the words I’m dishin’ – ‘cleaning up my act was mission’ Had to move myself in the right position Surround myself with the right peeps, with the right frame of mind Write rhymes of ‘the One’ right at His feet Yeah, God is ‘righteous’ - not listening to Bob Marley You can’t live with God if you’re not livin’ godly It’s only sense, hardly? Don’t even start me You’re too much into “caffeine” or you’re too much into “party (Par-tea)” (Yo!) The wages of ‘sin’ is the pay for that position Worked too hard to get fired - I got a greater commission People won’t you listen, not asking if you’re ready Your life is the evidence? I thought that was ‘confetti’ I drop it like its heavy if these dudes don’t know… I let loose up in Heaven what I’m bound to show (Fa’ sho) [Chorus] Hey young world… the choice is yours Hey young world… the choice is yours Young world, young world - young wo-ah-huh-huh-huh-urld Hey young world… the choice is yours Hey young world… the choice is yours Young world young world….. [Verse 2] Pride, Lust and Envy – ‘the human wasteland’ It’s just what we live in- I want a better place, man I know of a ‘replacement’ it‘ll put you in a right standing Some say this way of ‘living’ is a little’ too demanding’ You have an understanding? Let’s ‘understand’ then SIN is separation from God - “the Bread of Life, man” I know it seems that different paths reach the same goal You live ‘positive’ and never took a man’s soul You help people on a daily basis, you’re not racist You’re better than a lot of people, face it… But you ain’t got to ‘rape’ to be ‘perverted’ The ‘thought’ of even hurting someone means you’ve already ‘committed murder’ Man, we’re ‘all’ guilty, filthy but at the same time Worthy from ‘the Cross’ all the way down to ‘the Bloodline’ “It’s not by might but My Spirit” says the Lord No noose around your neck homeboy - the choice is yours [Chorus] [Verse 3] Tomorrow’s not promised but the future is See I’m a future kid from my Grand mama, Liz What I’m saying is (take this to meditation) The way you live ‘now’ determines your ‘destination’ So every move I make, I ponder… And make myself accountable cuz I ain’t gonna to be that ‘sheep’ that wanders It’s possible that I could ‘slip’ at any time But I know what I’ve experienced – can’t rob that from my mind “But, he said that she said” – yo nawh, man - yo “He bled”- Dead So you can live and all the time He’s thinking “free dem” I thank God that I can live and tell a testimony Rob, kill and destroy – it can’t be taken from me You can offer me money, it won’t change >LIKE< You can’t tell me, ‘Derek is not my real name’ >LIKE< You can’t tell me that I’m not black – I got eyes >LIKE< When you look at my life - all you’ll see is “Christ” man [Chorus]

about

That Brotha Lokey is back with another single called “Da Chune Up” featuring DIE-REK.

“Da Chune Up” reprises the collaborative producer-emcee relationship between Lokey and DIE-REK that’s been reaching people for over ten years.

When asked about their chemistry on this song, Lokey was very candid.

“First of all, this might go down as one of my favourite beats. Add that with the fact that DIE-REK brought bars to a beat that really hits home with me, and you have a great song.”

Paying homage to the legendary emcee Slick Rick, DIE-REK breaks down his personal story of struggles and growth with his trademark flow.

“We all have choices to make in life. Some are good and bad. I think Rek’s verse shows us that instead of just stumbling through life, we have to make intentional choices to impact our future,” shared Lokey.

“Da Chune Up” is the second single off of That Brotha Lokey’s upcoming project “Urban Revival.”
