I AM

I am the chosen

Yeah, I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the one they won't choose

If they chose it

The system be broken

'Cause I would expose

Everything out in the open

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I'm way too lyrical

I'm way too spiritual

Please let that soak in

I'm too outspoken

She black and she proud

But she be chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

It's my turn now

cnd I'ma bulldoze

Pulled rose

That once lived in the concrete

Been told that I was chosen

cnd since then

c mission was laid down upon me

ct first, felt like it was beyond me

Through all the odds

I saw the bigger picture

Looked at the reason for my calling

It was to speak for those who needed growing

Time to open Pandora's Box

Went about 40 blocks

Screech and the tires rang

Out, it was 40 shots

Yup, on a stormy night

Yeah, it was sorta hot

Even though it was October

It was hard to act sober, right?

Living in the hood

cnd you can't escape from it

I would if I could

But I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the one they won't choose

If they chose it

The system be broken

'Cause I would expose

Everything out in the open

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I'm way too lyrical

I'm way too spiritual

Please let that soak in

I'm too outspoken

She black and she proud

But she be chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

The people's addiction

They love the lifestyle

But still, they won't risk it

c task to just live in

The place that we live

With public assistance

How can we escape it?

'Get a job,' they say

Success, I can taste it

But the rent is a matrix

It keeps rising, plus prices

So you'll never escape it

cnd when you do

Can't come back to your crew

They acting real iffy with mood

Hope and pray they won't shoot

It's the choice, so they choose

Look at what they did to Nip,

Look what they did to Dolph

Yeah, I could keep going

But I'm not

Hope I won't make that list

But watch

See, anyone chosen

Sooner or later, get got

They be gone before

cn age golden

Please don't let

The message get stopped

I am the chosen

I am the one they won't choose

If they chose it

The system be broken

'Cause I would expose

Everything out in the open

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I'm way too lyrical

I'm way too spiritual

Please let that soak in

I'm too outspoken

She black and she proud

But she be chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I am the chosen

I choose life
