Decisions, Decisions

*Lilian Gatounes on the live commentary of Sadio Mané's winning penalty for Senegal during the 2021 AFCON Final*

When I was five my daddy would take me with him on the road
R12 color white, with the black stripes, celebrating goals
Let me touch that steering wheel, made me believe that I'm in control
To me that is parenting goals, I guess I was lucky he was great his role (God rest his soul)
Yeah, fast forwards 18 years later, now I just hit that goat number
My vision blurry but I know that I'm on level 23 in the elevator
Straight edge but I don't feel sober, got no idea what to expect
Maybe I'm all about that paper check but I won't sell my soul for respect, no!
Thought I was ready to do it, be my own man first try was a fail, life is like a game when you die and you hit the retry option with a whole 'nother plan, feeling the pressure cuz I been in the dark whole and I'd rather die than have to go back, my ego and my pride are talking back to me, now I got no choice but to make
Decisions decisions, what am I to do?
Man I got no clue
Time is now gotta make my move
Should I take one road or can I take 2?
No game plan for the rest of my life
Clock is ticking gotta shoot right now
Came this far I can't go back
Almost gave up hope but I had to take it back.

Things done changed man, nothing was ever the same
Page is blanc up to me to write my name
Red or blue pill? gotta make a choice of my own
Mama and pops won't help me now because I'm grown
Things done changed man, nothing was ever the same
Page is blanc up to me to write my name
Red or blue pill? gotta make a choice of my own
Mama and pops won't help me now because I'm grown

All I'm praying for is money and health and peace
Gotta love music, it's therapeutic, this is one life I have to live
Tryna figure out my purpose, part time rapping is not gonna last for long
Got a good job and making good money, but when I'm at work I'm writing songs
P wanna live 2 lives, P wanna wear a bandana with a shirt & tie
P wanna live 2 lives, P want a 9 to 5 and perform at night
P wanna live 2 lives, P want a promotion while growing fans
P wanna them streaming bands, P wanna rap and still work at the U.N.

I'm going with red, like I'm on RAW
Homies over hoes, come on, bro
Like Eren Yeager when I see my opps
Kyrie in the clutch, I'm hitting the shot

Things done changed man, nothing was ever the same
Page is blanc up to me to write my name
Red or blue pill? gotta make a choice of my own
Mama and pops won't help me now because I'm grown
Things done changed man, nothing was ever the same
Page is blanc up to me to write my name
Red or blue pill? gotta make a choice of my own
Mama and pops won't help me now because I'm grown
