Life I Chose - Intellectual

Verse 1 [Top Flight]

They tell me I should rap like Mac if I wanna’ live the high life

But even if your name's the game, you ain't changing my life

See there's reasons I do what I do

And none of them reasons are to please you

So why bother tryna’ father what I write?

Telling me "I’m wrong for what I put on the mic."

Since when did I need your approval

If I wanted an opinion then I would of went to Google

And I'm sorry if I sound pretty stubborn

I just hate the fact, that when I rap, they think I need to be governed

Cause like a rug burn, they won't get past my surface

How you gonna’ judge me when you don't see past the curtains?

Is rap my purpose? I'm more then positive!

So imma’ keep believing and writing like I'm a novelist

You can honor this, or you can question this

But it's rare if I care what your suggestion is!

Chorus [Top Flight]

I know life will never be perfect

Everyday has it’s highs and lows

People tell me to keep searching

But this is the life I chose

This’ the life I chose I don't care if you appose (x4)

Verse 2 [Top Flight]

Woah, sometimes I feel froze

But only for a second then I’m back up on my toes

I noticed when you grind people change as much as clothes

And overtime you find even friends turn to foes

But this’ the life I chose, so I gotta’ get accommodated

If I want shows, full of fans that I've congregated

I don't think you know, or understand, how long I've waited

For the day that I can say, “Hey, Mom I made it!."

But if I'm never nominated as an artist

I know I dominated and I always worked my hardest

Every song that I’ve created came from where my heart is

But still a lot have hated so its hard disregard it

Yeah, but I always find a way to

I wouldn't change my lane if I was paid to!
