Decisions
thestand4rd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not too happy with
But shit I'm cool now
I said I'm cool now
(I said I'm cool now)
Got put in positions
Realized I was slippin'
And then made it out
(Ohh and then made it out)
I couldn't speak my own language
Only how they wanted me to talk
Had to take all the blamin', I accepted it all
Now I'm sick of all the lame ones
Steady runnin' they mouths
(Baby)
Had a early awakening, had what it takes to breakin' on
Now why we even trippin'
I told you that I'm strange
That's what makes us different
The love around my space
I don't need no obligation
I don't need no wedding neither
I'm tryna be so hard on myself
But I know that it won't be easy
Yeah, yeah
I made some decisions
I'm not too happy with
But shit I'm cool now
Got put in positions
Realized I was slippin'
And then made it out
(Then made it out)
(Then made it out)
