Never thought I’d be alive in a time like this
The country that I come to know and love has gone amiss
Can't seem to figure out the equation, of separation,

they beguile us wit persuasion, the coins they makin’
Little man became a hustler just to get the bacon
He’s super bright but no father in sight, his soul is aching
Taught to survive, momma provides, but her heart is breaking
The things done to that black queen will leave your spirits shakin’
War is on the rise, we’ve forgotten how to win it
Tears in my sisters eyes, racism is so systemic
Begging mercy from God as we traverse this pandemic,
Them rosey Gucci glasses got all of our eyes tinted
To all the frontline workers who witnessed it all
To the families who suffered loss and had no one to call
I urge you not to quit because this is the time to stand
So if you with me lift your hands

I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live, and not die
I choose to live, I never quit, I’mma give it all that I got
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live, and not die
I choose to live, I never quit, I’mma give it all that I got

I know it’s been hard and everybody’s going through
We’ve been sacrificing doing things we thought we’d never do
Working from home, wearing masks, doing online school
Shout out to class of 2020 I’m so proud of you
My whole heart goes out to countries who suffer harder
I send up all of my prayers for your sons and your daughters
To my Asian brothers and sisters i extend my heart
Cuz I refuse to let the past keep us torn apart
God damn, what more does it take now
for mankind to see the world as it breakdown
We may be a fallen race, but we in the desperate state now
I’m so sick from eating lies my food won’t stay down
We just gotta pray now, because the politicians wanna play now
Look at your neighbor and say we gotta do better
The only way to conquer is to fight this shit together
Numbers ain’t never lied, they can’t hold us back forever

I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live, and not die
I choose to live, I never quit, I’mma give it all that I got

I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live, and not die
I choose to live, I never quit, I’mma give it all that I got


I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live, and not die
I choose to live, I never quit, I’mma give it all that I got

I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live, and not die
I choose to live, I never quit, I’mma give it all that I got

I choose To Live
