[Intro]

Ye-ye-ye-yeah, yeah, ye-ye-yeah

Don't let 'em tell you what you think is cool

Don't let 'em tell you what you think is right

Don't let 'em tell you what you think you should do

Then I'mma sleep at night, (Yeah!)

Which is easy y'all

[Hook]

Do you recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

They don't choose for you, don't let 'em choose

Recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

Don't let 'em choose for you, that's on you

[Verse 1]

Yeah, another day, another dime, another state

Another mind, forty-eight moves to choose

But no matter the coast, we all toast the same PBR

So much settling for ours (what you drinking on)

There's so many lives and so many lines waiting

There's only so much time, so many die patient

So many skate only where the ice is thin

We too nice to not dive in right after them

We too right to not sway a little, wiggle from the path

Middle up, foot upon the gas, like the past

Is the rear view, last laugh lands on the man

With the plan to do all that he can to do, all that he can

And we all save face in the face of our friends

And we all bend backwards to make amends

And we all take chances that change us

Civil with the self-hate just won't do

[Hook]

Do you recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

They don't choose for you, don't let 'em choose

Recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

Don't let 'em choose for you, that's on you

[Verse 2]

All right, a lot of my friends shake when they don't drink

All my friends wheeze in they sleep, all my friends think green

But can't afford to live it, can't ignore the cynics

Can't explore the gimmicks, can't report the dividends

Limited only by the need to stay fed

And giving up is like Latin, it's dead

It don't happen, don't even cross the head

Lost in our own web but it's our bed, sleep sucks

I mean, or least until I try, but at least until I'm right

But at least until I'm fly, let me get it on tight

But at least until it's mine, but at least until it's time

Let me set 'em up and knock 'em down, come on

But at least until I'm fine, but at least until I'm wrong

But at least until I got a piece to call my own

But at least until I'm grown, but at least until I'm gone

Say ("Goodbye, goodbye")

[Hook]

Do you recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

They don't choose for you, don't let 'em choose

Recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

Don't let 'em choose for you, that's on you

[Bridge]

And we all save face in the face of our friends

And we all bend backwards to make amends

And we all take chances that change us

Civil with the self-hate just won't do

[Hook]

Do you recognize when the world won't stop for you

Or when your days don't care what you got to do

Or when your weight's too tough to lift up, what do you do?

Don't let 'em choose for you, that's on you
