Should I Go
°×À¼µØ(Brandy) Lyrics

I'm standing on the edge of the industry,
I'm at a crossroads in my music career, contemplating the importance of the industry to me.

Wondering if it's all that important to me,
I'm questioning the significance of the industry in relation to my personal goals and desires.

To get my records back out there on the street,
I'm considering the idea of releasing new music and if it's necessary for me to do so.

It aint like I'm hurting or anything
I'm financially stable and don't necessarily need to release new music to support myself.

I'm to the point right now where money aint an issue,
I have enough financial stability to potentially make the decision to not release new music.

I can roll where I want and what I wanna do,
I have the freedom to make choices about my music career without being constricted by financial issues.

Tempted to leave it in my rear-view, because this game aint what I'm used to
I'm considering leaving the industry behind because the current state of the music business doesn't align with my previous experiences and expectations.

There used to be a few artists at a time,
The industry used to be less saturated with musicians.

Now even the veterans are waiting in line,
Even established musicians have to compete for attention and recognition due to the oversaturation of the industry.

Premature release of these albums online,
Music is often leaked online before it's officially released, which impacts the success of an album.

Making it hard for real entertainers to shine,
The music industry's current state makes it difficult for genuine and talented musicians to receive recognition and success.

If you manage to defeat these odds against you, keep doing your thing 'cause I'm not mad at you-ooh ooh,
If an artist is able to succeed in spite of the industry's challenges, they should continue pursuing their passion and Brandy supports them.

Just tryna figure out where I fit in to,
Brandy is trying to decide where her place is in the current music industry.

All Of This Now Or If I Do
This line is unclear, but it may suggest that Brandy is either questioning whether or not to release new music now, or if she should continue to make music at all.

This industry was more like a different world,
The industry has changed so much that it feels like a completely different entity than it did in the past.

When it was just me, monica and babygirl.
Brandy reminisces about a time when the music industry felt more tight-knit and featured fewer artists like herself, Monica, and the late Aaliyah.

(Aaliyah) I never got to tell you how much you meant.
Brandy reflects on the loss of Aaliyah and expresses her regret for not being able to tell her how much she impacted her life.

I wish you and me both were sitting here working with Tim.
Brandy laments the missed opportunity to collaborate in the studio with Aaliyah and producer Timbaland.

Just to be in the presence of people that you affected,
Being in the same vicinity as those who were impacted by Aaliyah's music is enough to give Brandy pause and reflect on her own experiences and connections to the industry.

On a personal level just makes me stop for a second... (enhales),... (exhales)
Brandy takes a moment to reflect on the personal impact of the music industry on her own life and experiences.

You were such a blessing,
Aaliyah's influence in the music industry was profound and positive.

You only answered one of my questions.
Brandy expresses regret that she was never able to fully communicate and connect with Aaliyah before her untimely death.

Well I gave it some time,
After much consideration, Brandy has made a decision about her music career.

And I made up my mind, move over this is my time,
Brandy is determined to take control of her music career and make the most out of the opportunities available to her.

B-rocka is back on the grind.
Brandy is ready to return to the music industry and invest time and effort into her artistry once again.
