Pickin’

[Intro]
You know... I mean
I really got no time for these haters and all
If they're gonna hate, let them hate
Cause I just really wanna live my life... Now bring it in!

[Verse 1]
Yeah for sure I'll open that door
Picture how I'm doing this, settling the score
Maybe this is what I'm here for
To break the hardcore
That's why I’m out here Picking
Influence the youth on some streets, what should I be kicking
Wouldn’t be so controversial but it's intercontinental
Steady dancing and I’m humble on a different level
Wherever I go the dogs wanna bark with me
Like DMX I’m telling cats don’t meow with me
My umph, umph is real, slinging the truth
Running through this opposition like a tiger with a saber-tooth
I've gotta let it blow through the roof
I knew exactly what I want for my life
That’s why I've never been affected by the pain in the strife

[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life and do what I wanna do
I can make it do what it do, just like I’m supposed to
The dark, living in the dark
I just wanna live my life right now
The dark, living in the dark
I just wanna live my life it's what I'm picking

[Verse 2]
Be a man without a gun in my hand
In complacent, criminal-minded with the songs I sang
My situations brought excuses but I knew I was wrong
Had to choose what was right though I knew all along
Was I born to be a soldier in the crystal light
Couldn’t believe that I was trained to be an angel right
I'm backslidden seeing signs of the anti-Christ
Good or evil, whatever I possess
Know I'm weak in the flesh for the Mamie in the pretty dress
I'm on a Hiphop Kruzade and I ain’t about to lose
They should have told me 'bout the fame in this life I choose
Products I sold 'em had me smothered in gold
How I wish I ain’t never gone sell my soul
Just told the truth about West Africa
The tribes and the Empires

[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life and do what I wanna do
I can make it do what it do, just like I’m supposed to
The dark, living in the dark
I just wanna live my life right now
The dark, living in the dark
I just wanna live my life it's what I'm picking

[Bridge]
Eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh

[Verse 3]
Three scores and ten
After that, then it’s time to go see if I pleased Elohim
But I stumbled with a bottle of gin
Fantasies of sexy models from Vancouver while we do it again
Pretty bitches say they love me, I don't even touch 'em
Fly their ass to Dublin, Gabriel Union in the cut huh
Sometimes I wonder if the Goddess gonna let me in
I feel so empty on this earth I'm doing backspins
Gotta win ‘cause where I’m from only a few ever been
Close enough to see the victories my eyes have seen
That’s why I live it to the fullest
Make it do whatever it do, follow through to the closest
I knew exactly what I want from my life
That’s why I've never been affected by the pain in the strife

[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life and do what I wanna do
I can make it do what it do, just like I’m supposed to
The dark, living in the dark
I just wanna live my life right now
The dark, living in the dark
I just wanna live my life it's what I'm picking

[Bridge]
Eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh
