[INTRO – spoken/half-sung, moody pads]
Yeah…
It’s choice, it’s purpose, it’s freedom…
You choose your highs… and your lows.
(Adlib: PHR1ME in the building, takeover season!)
---
[HOOK – chant, anthem style]
We all choose our highs, we all choose our lows,
Life na balance beam, everybody knows.
Some dey chase the bag, some dey chase the smoke,
Purpose or distraction, which way you go?
Highs and lows (yeah), highs and lows (yeah),
Freedom in the choice, that’s the life we chose.
Highs and lows (yeah), highs and lows (yeah),
Purpose in my chest, see the fire glow.
---
[VERSE 1 – reflection + hustle tone]
Sometimes it’s luck, sometimes consistency,
Turn small wins to cuts, big dreams to legacy.
We birth visions, focus on the bigger paychecks,
From nothing to something, now the street dey send text.
Boys dey notice presence, city know my name,
Sorry you met absence, I been out the game.
If I die, my name still gon’ ring on,
Legendary calling, somebody pick the trap-phone.
---
[PRE-HOOK – softer vocal, adlibs]
Choice… (yeah), purpose… (uh huh), freedom… (freedom)
Life be test, how you go dey lead ‘em?
---
[HOOK – repeat bigger, with layers]
We all choose our highs, we all choose our lows,
Life na balance beam, everybody knows.
Some dey chase the bag, some dey chase the smoke,
Purpose or distraction, which way you go?
Highs and lows (yeah), highs and lows (yeah),
Freedom in the choice, that’s the life we chose.
Highs and lows (yeah), highs and lows (yeah),
Purpose in my chest, see the fire glow.
---
[VERSE 2 – raw & street]
Some dey pop bottle, some dey puff zootie,
Coke, Molly, mushroom, zaza, even murphin truly.
We all choose escape, but I choose my grind,
I go build empire, I no waste my time.
See Lil Nas X, he dey walk half naked,
The world dey change, my prayer never break it.
Legends gone early, man I pray we live long,
Candle light vigils, but my pen still strong.
Freedom is decision, purpose is my sight,
Highs or lows—omo, I still shine bright.
---
[BRIDGE – choir-like, emotional lift]
(Chanted, layered)
Highs and lows—what you gon’ choose?
Life be a game, can’t afford to lose.
Highs and lows—what you gon’ choose?
Freedom in the path, destiny the muse.
---
[HOOK – final, anthemic]
We all choose our highs, we all choose our lows,
Life na balance beam, everybody knows.
Some dey chase the bag, some dey chase the smoke,
Purpose or distraction, which way you go?
Highs and lows (yeah), highs and lows (yeah),
Freedom in the choice, that’s the life we chose.
Highs and lows (yeah), highs and lows (yeah),
Purpose in my chest, see the fire glow.
---
[OUTRO – spoken]
It’s not a ride or die kinda thing…
It’s choice, it’s purpose, it’s freedom.
Choose wisely.
