No Choices

[Part I][Sample: The Alan Parsons Project] If it's getting harder to face every day Don't let it show, don't let it show Though it's getting harder to take what they say Just let it go, just let it go And if it hurts when they mention my name Say you don't know me And if it helps when they say I'm to blame Say you don't owe me [Intro] Yo, check it out, Jon Murdock, 2005 This shit right here's real serious Love can stop your fear, fear can stop your love Check it out, yo, yo [Verse 1] People love the fear that I bring until they feel everything that I create, I can't yield anything Life's a long process, too short to talk nonsense I write with strong concepts and strike at all objects People use the shortcut, I take the long way So I pay more attention to what I saw today The system's washing your mind, don't be drawn away Because that life you lead, could be gone today Hat low, new car, letting your chain swing I ain't putting no one down, I do the same thing And if the cops kick the door I wouldn't change a thing Because I know the consequence of what the game brings I been stressed to the point where I can't think Deep depression, and didn't have a damn thing To call my own until I came up with a plan and shit Screw my head on tight, ten thousand grams I flip You I know flip that, cell phone to chit chat Your girl I hit that, I'm slipping, where's my sense at? This all material, Murdock's imperial But you know I couldn’t sit back and wait for a miracle Long road to glory, short road to shame Saw people fall, saw people gain The plans fell apart so I had to rearrange I'ma let my words direct you to the path I'm meant to take Forever [Hook] Nobody has a choice Used to think we did We can always use our voice Thought this to be true We can live in fear Stand [?] now We can follow the light [?] Fear can stop you now then Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you now then It’s not always that clear [Verse 2] You ain't filthy rich before, dirty poor, you need to journey more Discipline yourself to never lose and you’ll convert to old You ever wanted to be, instead of running on streets Thinking you thug with a gun and a T I give the greatest message, I live and take in lessons Learn by the trials and tribulations I was raised in, stressin' Never tooken out by numbers, you ain't brave in weapons Then show a millimeter, that you aim and threaten My life with, you don't even know what life is You look at me like I'm just another white kid Trying to be who you are, I know you're tight kid You can live a thousand lives and never write this I'm at a higher caliber, sayonara challenger Slide inside the lines, I provide the silent silencers Roam around the place where love, fear and violence live Happiness is that within yourself if you acknowledge it A blind man can see more than most of y’all, over all Hip-Hop is more than what you shoot and what you smoking on Originality's something, y'all don’t focus on A tight grip to this shit, is what I'm holdin' strong Like a man hanging from a cliff who’s just holdin' on With every ounce of his strength, until his hold is gone People see what they cause, and they know it's wrong Changing the outlook for worse because the dough is long [Hook] Nobody has a choice Used to think we did We can always use our voice Thought this to be true We can live in fear Stand [?] now We can follow the light [?] Fear can stop you now then Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you now then It’s not always that clear [Sample: Ian Richardson & Richard O’Brien] Is it, done?
