Choose Wisely (Farewell)

(I've often said that I wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame)
(So that they could see that it's not where you're gonna find your sense of completion)

Always wanted to be recognized
To the things that I've been wishin' for, is now I despise
Can I be honest? My life still catching me by surprise
I ain't used to living good but plot on my own demise

I'm listening, I'm way more used to chaos than to peace
I used to do the drugs to feel the payoff in it, ceased
I'm tired of work, I rather spend my day off in the sheets
With some cheeks, 'cause the rush gonna keep me way off from the weeks ahead

Until it's over, depression over my shoulder
Addicted to the chase so much at times I don't feel sober
I don't understand, look at me, I'ma man's man
But inside I'm just a boy, wondering, "Why I don't feel older?"

I care, I really do, you probably think it never shows
Got love inside my heart been wondering, "Why it never grows?"
I'm startin' to question life, feel my life might never glow
So you can take this money back, and it's life I never chose (it's life I never chose)

Damn, I never made a choice for me 'cause I hate myself
How I let them take my voice from me
Baby, please come in closer, 'cause I need your validation
And I spend hours waitin', not even knowin' my powers fakin'

But it's cool, long as y'all approved then I could never lose
I just keep on dancin', tappin' 'til I need new pair of shoes
While I go insane inside, I might need new pair of screws
'Til I'm almost dead, crazy that nobody's there but you

Hold on, wait, I spend all this time investin' in my impression on
Everyone lookin' at me, now it's, "Fuck your suggestion"
It's hard for you to stomach, I'm sorry, "Fuck your digestion"
Can't accept advice from niggas that even askin' questions like

"What if you had one year to live, what would you do?
Would you be content or is there somethin' you gotta prove?
Would you push yourself harder than ever set better goals
Or would you die full of regrets with life you never chose?"
(Life you never chose)
(Life you never chose)
(Life you never chose)

(Any last words? Sheesh)
(I don't even know what to say right now)
(I will say thank you though)
(You know, tree fall, seasons change and, it's time I do the same)

Big world wanna say, "Congratulations"
'Member when I thought we be fillin' our applications
Really tapped into your activation
Accomplish what most couldn't see with their imagination, dawg

You real got it out the mud, I seen the maturation
Them character red flags, a six round pick
They never gave your ass a chance to even stick 'round shit
Nigga we laughin' now, make a hater sit down quick

Okay, them long days, got me booked for the biggest stages
Know how bright I'm shinin' just look at them nigga's faces
Nothin' magic, hard work, a bit of patience
And bet it on myself only right, I got shipped Vegas

Come on, bro, from a kid that didn't think he even matter
Just seein' different records gettin' shattered, I'm elevated over the chatter
It's ironic, I took the stairwell 'bout my time
I bid you farewell

Last but not least, I wanna thank me, ha-ha
I wanna thank me for believin' in me
I wanna thank me for doin' all this hard work
I wanna thank me for havin' no days off
I wanna thank me for, for never quittin' (yeah)
I wanna thank me for always being a giver
And tryna give more than I recieve
I wanna thank me for tryna do more right than wrong
I wanna thank me for just being me at all times
