[Verse 1]

Chased the rainbow to the end, I thought I followed all the signs

Read my horoscope this morning, told me all my stars align

So my world starts to collapse, I threw the book out for the lies

This what happens when a faint heart and weak mind collide

Thought of giving up tryin', my mother call declined

I can't stand to face my loved ones while I'm fighting what's inside

I got talent but without the execution, nigga die

Wish we knew why we was here and the role we was assigned

I would do my job right instead of going through the trials

I would know my place in time, no more crying, asking why

We got lost souls traveling the plane tryna decide if

Life's worth living or should they wither up and die?

We got too many options

Should I be a doctor or focus on getting poppin'?

Should I cop the four-door or maybe just get the cockpit?

Should I change my habits or keep on being the problem?

Can't choose, just being honest


[Chorus]

Questioning this life, should I stay or should I go

World on fire, tryna breathe through the smoke

Living like water, tryna go with the flow

As I lay on the current, ride the waves to the shores

Questioning this life, should I stay or should I go

World on fire, tryna breathe through the smoke

Living like water, tryna go with the flow

As I lay on the current, ride the waves to the shores


[Verse 2]

Strugglin' to pick up all the pieces of a broken dream that never got to surface out the evil that a man did

Playin' the cards that I was handed

Maybe we will stop if God had reprimanded

Make our own decisions, never need permission

You could rob, cheat and steal, and still continue livin'

You could fuck over your friends and still continue winnin'

What's the proper way to live when this life awards sinnin'

Tryna hold together all the remnants of our past

Thought I had your help but I knew it couldn't last

Point of even fightin' when you threw us in the trash

Know you got your own thing, that don't mean we gotta clash

Stressed out with it, been stressed out with it

Niggas say they here in the end don't get it

Fighting through the fear like a bear when I'm hittin'

We could make it there shining clear nigga glisten


[Chorus]

(Questioning this life, should I stay or should I go)

Questioning this life, should I stay or should I go

World on fire, tryna breathe through the smoke

Living like water, tryna go with the flow

As I lay on the current, ride the waves to the shores

Questioning this life, should I stay or should I go

World on fire, tryna breathe through the smoke

Living like water, tryna go with the flow

As I lay on the current, ride the waves to the shores
