Choices Lyrics by Tarik

Here to Stay

2014

[Chorus: Kaylah]
I can't seem to find my way back to something that I know
These are unfamiliar roads, unfamiliar roads
Time is never there when you need it
Learn that it's a lie once you believe it

[Verse 1: Tarik]
Would you rather be the future or the present
Would you rather be a King or a peasant
Would rather be an answer or a question
With no direction, you rather come in first
Or come in second... place
Would you rather be a planet or a star
Would you rather have your legs or a car
Would you rather be a bruise or a scar
Somebody else or
Would you rather be who you are
Would you rather die or live forever
Would you rather be apart or be together
Would you rather be the trash or the treasure
Live without pain or
Would you rather live without pleasure
A disadvantage or to take advantage
Unappreciated or taken for granted
Would you rather wait or make a move
If that decision determined whether you win or you lose

[Chorus: Kaylah]
I can't seem to find my way back to something that I know
These are unfamiliar roads, unfamiliar roads
Time is never there when you need it
Learn that it's a lie once you believe it

[Verse 2: Tarik]
Would you rather be a burden or be a regret
Living in pain or living in debt
Living a lie or living upset
Someone they love or
Someone that they never accept
Would you rather be a blessing or lesson
Someone that's stressing or
Someone in a state of depression
A nuclear bomb or maybe just a deadly infection
Would you rather be a reflection of beauty or imperfection
Would rather sit on the side lines
Learn on your own or someone lay out the guidelines
Fall down and get up like five times
Or never deal with struggle for a lifetime
Rather greatness or mediocrity
Want me to say what you wanna hear or do you want honesty
Cause honestly I'm sick of refraining what lies inside of me
The best is what I gotta be...

[Chorus: Kaylah]
I can't seem to find my way back to something that I know
These are unfamiliar roads, unfamiliar roads
Time is never there when you need it
Learn that it's a lie once you believe it

[Bridge: Tarik]
I'm at the corner of destiny and integrity
Trying to choose in between
What's in front of me or what's best for me
Especially, 'cuz deep down
I'm scared of what lies ahead of me
Whether that be my failure or legacy
But in this moment
I will rise above my opponent
The biggest being myself
The smallest being your opinion
I just pray that my decisions
Stay in line with my intentions
This is only the beginning… the beginning…

[Chorus: Kaylah]
I can't seem to find my way back to something that I know
These are unfamiliar roads, unfamiliar roads
Time is never there when you need it
Learn that it's a lie once you believe it
