Decisions
Yung Nugget Lyrics

Wake up in the morning passed out on the floor
Waking up feeling defeated and realizing that I need to make a change in my life.

Look around in my life, realize I want more
Reflecting on my current situation and realizing that I have a desire for greater things.

Tell my Mom "I gotta go, I'll be back in like 20"
Informing my Mom that I need to leave and will return soon, as I embark on a journey for success.

Then I hop up on the road in pursuit of some money
Getting on the road to actively chase after financial stability and success.

'Cause I can't go back, no way, not 'til I succeed
Refusing to go back to my old life until I achieve my goals and find success.

And it ain't really 'bout the cash, I'm just tryna chase my dreams
The pursuit of my dreams isn't solely driven by money, but by my desire to fulfill my aspirations.

And prove other people wrong, who could never f**kin' see
Showing those who doubted me and couldn't see my potential that they were mistaken.

The potential that I had, now it's time to let it free
Releasing and showcasing the untapped potential that resides within me.

And what the future holds? I don't really even know
Uncertain about what lies ahead in my future journey.

I don't wanna lose my way, so I'm following the road
Choosing to stay focused on my path and not get lost along the way.

And as I traveled down the path, I saw a fork up ahead
While progressing on my journey, I encountered a decision point or a crossroads.

A man appeared in the middle, this here's what he said
Encountering a wise individual who proceeded to share his insight.

There's muscles that way, Hugh J, Sugar, André
One path leads to superficial fame and success, influenced by notable figures in the industry.

Big business generals laughing as the pawns play
Higher-ups in the industry manipulating and exploiting artists for their own amusement.

Even if they sign you, tailor and design you
Even if you get signed by a label, they will control and mold you to fit their agenda.

Jewels in the vault, they won't hesitate to mine you
The labels will take advantage of your talent and exploit you for their own financial gain.

I'm a student of these ironies they hire me
I'm aware of these contradictions and hypocrisy in the industry, and they employ me to expose them.

To buy seasons so I'm all over in the rap winery
Using my skills and knowledge to navigate the rap industry and gain influence.

They'll ride your locomotive 'til it grind to a halt
The labels will support and promote you only until you become unsuccessful or irrelevant.

They're brilliant if you make it, if not, it's your fault
The labels take credit for an artist's success but blame the artist if they fail to make it.

Okay, maybe that path ain't the smartest to choose
Acknowledging that the path influenced by the industry may not be the most intelligent decision.

I don't wanna be a puppet for a label to use
Refusing to be controlled and manipulated by a label and used for their gain.

Sure this music sh*t is fun but it's a big risk to take
Recognizing that pursuing music may be enjoyable, but it also entails significant risks.

So please tell me 'bout the other path that seems more safe
Requesting information about an alternative path that appears to be safer and more secure.

And if that were to your bachelors, maybe Master's after
Considering pursuing higher education, completing a bachelor's degree, and then potentially a master's degree.

But now you've got eleven years on Tyler on b*st*rd
Realizing that I already have more experience and knowledge than some successful individuals.

Got the Ph.D. the JD, the MD
Highlighting the various academic qualifications I possess, such as a Ph.D., J.D., and M.D.

But the time stamp flow top half's so empty
Despite my achievements, there is still a sense of emptiness in my life and career.

You fear it, fulfillment being the limit
Feeling scared or anxious about reaching my full potential and finding true fulfillment.

And you hear it, quiet graves with maggots in it
Recognizing the consequences of not pursuing my dreams and settling for a life filled with regrets.

Your stability prevent those rash decisions
Staying in a stable and secure situation can prevent impulsive and risky choices.

But that hole inside, you think cash can fill it?
Questioning whether financial success alone can truly fulfill the void or emptiness in my life.

So I'm damned if I don't, and I'm damned if I do
Feeling trapped and conflicted, no matter which path I choose.

This sh*t don't seem right, I don't f**k with all these rules
Expressing discontent with the current state of affairs and the constraints imposed by societal norms and expectations.

All these stupid regulations tryna hide me from the truth
Feeling oppressed by unnecessary rules and regulations that hinder me from discovering my true potential.

And when it comes to these choices I have way more than two
Realizing that there are numerous choices available to me, beyond just two options.

'Cause I ain't never been one to put myself in a box
Refusing to conform or limit myself to societal expectations or restrictions.

I choose the road less taken like my name is Robert Frost
Opting for the unconventional path, similar to the approach of poet Robert Frost.

I'll keep following my dreams, I don't care about the cost
Continuing to pursue my aspirations, regardless of the sacrifices or challenges involved.

And people think you're wandering and they assume that I'm lost
Others may perceive my journey as aimless or misguided, assuming that I am lost.

'Cause I ain't gon' depend on no man to guide me
Rejecting the notion of relying on someone else to lead or direct my path in life.

It don't matter how many times they deny me
The rejections and denials from others do not deter my determination to succeed.

Even when the times get hard, I'll keep tryin'
Persisting and putting in effort even during challenging times in order to achieve my goals.

I just wanna find the greatness inside
Seeking to discover and unleash the extraordinary qualities and potential within myself.

So now it's done, it's over, this is the end
The old chapter of my life has concluded, marking a new beginning.

Where my old life will finish and my new will begin
The end of my past life and the start of a fresh chapter full of possibilities.

Time to make a new path, time to start a new trend
Embracing the opportunity to forge a new path and set a new direction for myself.

Next time you see me I won't be playing pretend
When people encounter me in the future, I won't be pretending to be someone I'm not anymore.
