I used to choose the world
Walk the streets like they were gold
And when I fell…
…I slept all alone …
…felt the me I needed to know
I used to know the world
Gamble with all of my life
Listen up they would say
“You live like that & you’ll be dead”
But I didn’t want to hear the speech
The old man’s dead indeed
Thought he had nothing to say
Always talking bout his son, I’m not his sun
I hate now he’s gone he was right
Now that I’m grown up, I see it
Things just happened & found me here
All these people looking at me
They think I’m so damn free
I hope nobody here knows my name
I used to choose the world
When I did the streets were gold
It was a strange time you see
No doors or windows for me
Shattered lives & loves I’d left
People didn’t believe when I’d returned
News revealed my life
When my daddy laid dead that day
They saw me as the lonely one
Now tears flowed when they said my name
I close my eyes & I hear this singing
I can tell you it’s just the beginning
When the revelation comes here
You’ll see why I had that beginning
The old lady just looks at me
But can’t seem to say my name
She thought I’d left this world
Back when I chose the world
I hear the things they are saying
I know all the songs they are singing
I know all of the things I’ve cheated
Remember all the things I needed
For some reason I’m not insane
So they won’t call my name
I used to choose the world
But that’s when the streets were gold
