Lyrics

Yeah I wish someone told me to choose wisely I wish someone told me to choose wisely Who knew the path was two-sided? Nowadays I'm letting the truth guide me I wish someone told me to choose wisely I wish someone told me to choose wisely Who knew the path was two-sided? So now I'm telling my brothers to choose wisely I keep on my high beams Chase new paper, high speed Faith, that's all that I seen Faith, that's all that I need The rage behind they eyelids Hate, that's all the pride feed Change, that's all that I bring Love is what this life need I wish I had somebody to tell me better Oldest of five, but I wasn't the best example Learned from my moments that made me Now I live the daydream, I work every night, B I do it for the students who is feeling just like me Like, "I'ma skip this class for a pass at these mic dreams" I hope they like me, I followed my light beams But that ain't what I fiend, I'm choosing more wisely And time's still 'bout the hustle And I'm still shaped by the struggle I put my mind to the muscle, I got nine hours 'til the sun up We gon' grind hard for the come-up, but that still don't mean nothin' If you got everything you wished for But still don't give nothin' back Pray for peace Peace to my homies, peace to my OGs Peace to the lonely, peace to the phonies Peace to the teacher, peace to the deacon Peace to my demons, they creepin', they want my light Want a piece of the beacon, they want a piece of the pie Petty pete, I ate a piece of the green and turned to Popeye Pick apart, puzzle people's minds and rearrange they partides Particles, atoms, neurons and neutrons, my Jimmy got her on futon Break the eighth on the coupon and roll the Grey Poupon Yeah I wish someone told me to choose wisely I wish someone told me to choose wisely Who knew the path was two-sided? Nowadays I'm letting the truth guide me I wish someone told me to choose wisely I wish someone told me to choose wisely Who knew the path was two-sided? So now I'm telling my brothers to choose wisely Is it my place to guide the way up, would he even follow? I seen darkness, hope in space, life's been more than borrowed I feel him pushing against the currents, these rivers are shallow He say, "If I don't die today, I'm dying tomorrow" Spirits is hollow, measure my youth in empty bottles We lacking guidance, absent fathers, got no role models Neglect the culture, pero quiere ser Mexicano Pelo y idioma, rezo, son parte de quien es mi hermano Seeking connection, love unprotected Knowledge I wish had been present During so many moments of adolescence I know I'm still trippin', learnin', bridges burnin' on my path Ignorant to my selfish ways, abusing power I have Tryna lead by example, break generational patterns Trippin' over my ego, heart's broken, taken advantage Askin' for more forgiveness, watchin' regrets gettin' washed away Put my mind to this movement, let go of fireflies I've chased (Fly, fly, fly, fly, yeah) (Fly, fly)
