1200 Techniques – Fork In The Road lyrics

You and me gotta be
Living life, dignity, integrity, sincerity
Cause honestly, that's how it's gotta be
And when you come to that fork in the road
Which way will you go

Go get your destiny
Yeah, that's what my god advised
Dont be resistantly
Seek someone to help us grow wise
Cause, mentally, spirtual excellence
Is far beyond any physical decadence
Acceptance is great, yeah
But it will be a brittle case
Trying to please all
And find a middle space
Where you belong
As a little kid I dreamt intense dreams
Now as a grown man, these same intense dreams
Are what I'm chasing
Feelin' mad, amazing, right
But I can see how my life
May have fallen by the waste side

Scenario one
Hanging with mates who like to stay high
Fucking up, going out, acting up, getting drunk
Chucking up, acting tough, far too much
Got me copping upper cuts
While dole payments keep me smacked up
Killing my soul while I'm high
Head to toe
But y'know, I'm only talking about a possible scenario

You and me gotta be
Living life, dignity, integrity, sincerity
Cause honestly, that's how it's gotta be
And when you come to that fork in the road
Which way will you go

Scenario two
What would I do
Not amused
Situation I'm facing
Got me feelin' confused
[Rewind selector]
Back to me and my girl in high school
Both sixteen years of age
Doing what lovers do
Confusing independance with ignorance
Having unprotected sex
Now she fallen pregnant
Now we stressing bout how we think our parents gonna act
Will they kick us out the house
Will they have our backs
To bring a child into this messy world
Could be no more goin' out
No money for me or my girl

Scenario three
Either we get rid of the child
Before we get to hear it laugh
Or see it smile
Live with the grief and keep the pain underneath
Like six feet deep, may it rest in peace
What's to become of us
God only knows
But y'know, I'm only talking bout a possible scenario

You and me gotta be
Living life, dignity, integrity, sincerity
Cause honestly, that's how it's gotta be
And when you come to that fork in the road
Which way will you go

Life moves on, life flies by
A lifetime can flash by
At the blink of an eye
You and I had best be aware
You and I had best be prepared

Confucius said
Only a benevolent man
Can live a full life and
Draw an accurate plan
So understand
Why I choose scenario four
That be the life I'm living now
The life I'd die for
Maybe I might score (score), make the top of the list
Maybe I might fall (fall), but I'm ready for this
Like being offered bullshit
This steams the cream
A million dollars for my soul
Or a priceless dream

Faith is a red rose (is a red rose)
Almost a thought
But it will grow

You and me gotta be
Living life, dignity, integrity, sincerity
Cause honestly, that's how it's gotta be
And when you come to that fork in the road
Which way will you go
