1200 TECHNIQUES LYRICS - 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
