[Verse 1: Left Eye]

Young woman confused

Young woman abused

You must understand

It's never too late to lose who you are

And choose who you are supposed to be, supposed to become

You've been in and out, up and down

Back and forth, backwards around

Not a friend, not a mother, not a father, just God

And you should make a choice what you ought to do

What matters most who you are to you

Opinions of the old and young shouldn't matter to you

Take advice, think it over twice

Make a choice that helps you sleep at night

It's decent, but recently things have shown us

We have done the wrong things often

Never suicide, that's the easy route

There's always another way out

Think about it (Think about it)

[Chorus: Marie Antoinette]

You can give up or you can get up

Just don't let what you need pass by

Spread your wings to the sky

Let your soul fall in love

You can give up or you can get up

Just don't let what you need pass by

Spread your wings to the sky

Let your soul fall in love

You can fly

[Verse 2: Left Eye]

Now see if you went through life with your eyes closed

You never woulda known there was a high road

Let people get the best of you and get mad at them

Instead of bein' mad at yourself

You're only number one in your life

And you will decide if it goes right

Every time you digress, defeat your progress

Feed you knowledge, but you must digest

The controversy, yo, can get personal

They don't understand 'till the role reversal

Seekin' fame, play their games

Gave a whole lot for a whole little gain

Push comes to shove, do you push or shove?

When the choice is yours, do you leave or you love?

All the tears you cried, you're dyin' inside

When will you decide to survive?

[Chorus: Marie Antoinette]

You can give up or you can get up

Just don't let what you need pass by

Spread your wings to the sky

Let your soul fall in love

You can give up or you can get up

Just don't let what you need pass by

Spread your wings to the sky

Let your soul fall in love

You can fly

[Chorus: Marie Antoinette]

You can give up or you can get up

Just don't let what you need pass by

Spread your wings to the sky

Let your soul fall in love

You can give up or you can get up

Just don't let what you need pass by

Spread your wings to the sky

Let your soul fall in love

You can fly
