lyrics

<verse 1 – Substantial>
We are the sums of the choices that we form
Imagine if I had of chose a gun over microphone
Or decided to run and leave my wife alone
Abandoning my daughter for fun on the night she born
What if I didn’t get help when my sister was beaten
Disregarding every yell while the hits were repeating
Like top 40 on your FM dial
What if I succumbed to fear... I was just a child
*** was scary, imagine if my mom was a visionary
Or if I took her advise to enlist in the military
Or when my homie needed me, I didn’t get in that car son
She’d be a loss one and I would be without a God son
What if I didn’t have men, to teach me in my father’s absence
‘Cause a woman teaching me to be a man is backwards
I guess we’re all the choices that we did or didn’t make
Holding fragile dreams I’m just grateful that didn’t break

<hook>

<verse 2 – Adikkal>
Sometimes I wonder how it mighta looked today
if the dice rolled differently, the cards were played another away
what would've happened if I took a left and not a right?
I suppose I could've been a lawyer or a doctor right?
and if I never took the opportunity to go to Germany
then they'd have never heard of me
so it occurred to me that the lines are kind of blurred
between what you are and what you'd prefer to be
our lives are just a partly played game of connect the dots
that we keep playing until the day that it stops
some go in circles whilst others make a masterpiece
with a purpose and a sense of what there art could be
but it's all art to me, even if it's hard to see
there's beauty in madness it's a part of me
but it's all art to me, even if it's hard to see
there's beauty in madness it's a part of me
