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]
