No Choice
Topher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had No Choice
I was made for this I had No Choice
Yea I got plans like oh my lord
Days off I can't afford
Anything that's in my way I must destroy
To be the realest in the game I had No Choice
I had No Choice
I'm a kid raised in the south
Dirty dirty in and out
Living what I dreamed about
Believe what came out of my mouth
Hit a road block and I found a new route
Give me the money don't need any clout
Living by faith with no room for the doubt
Planted my seeds now I'm watching them sprout
Big trees, big leaves, hanging with the big league
Talking Dixie to DC, superman Chris Reeve
I'm motivated, know you waited for me to cultivate it
No debating everything's correlated
Proud to say I didn't have to sale my soul to make it
Oh lord
Days off I can't afford
Anything that's in my way I must destroy
To be the realest in the game I had No Choice
I had No Choice
I got plans like oh my lord
Days off I can't afford
Anything that's in my way I must destroy
To be the realest in the game I had No Choice
I had No Choice
I ain't have too many options
Somehow I knew I'd make a way
I got 99 problems
But they ain't stopping me today
Nah
I just took a chance and it worked out
From standing in the back I'm on first now
When it come to my dreams I can't turn down
One I start that flame it can't burn out
Yeah
Been had dreams I'mma chase
What made you think I'mma pace
Tunnel vision I ain't even seen all the hate
Ain't even gotta think I'm going in all the way
Yeah yeah
I'm just tryna be great
I just gotta stay focused
So I think about my motivation
Even when I'm at my lowest
Oh lord
Days off I can't afford
Anything that's in my way I must destroy
To be the realest in the game I had No Choice
I had No Choice
I got plans like oh my lord
Days off I can't afford
Anything that's in my way I must destroy
To be the realest in the game I had No Choice
I had No Choice
Yea
I got shooters waitin' for me just to hear the say so
Off top nonstop oh they know
That I didn't come here to play
I Can't let shit slide yea
I talk real talk only
Pour it slow and listen closely
I'm really here a model with but ain't no one posing
Winter coming game of thrones and my crown is frozen
I'm wavy dawg like Poseidon I can drip the ocean
I was made for this
Days off I can't afford
Anything that's in my way I must destroy
To be the realest in the game I had No Choice
