I Had a Choice Songtext
von Mr. Capone-E

That′s right
Sometimes you make choices in life
Whether it's good or bad
But you just make the best of it
You know?

I made a choice to live the street life
They said leave it alone but this is my life
Although I chose wrong (I chose wrong)
This is still my home (My home)
And I can′t walk away (Can't walk away)
This is my life (Ooh), oh whoa

Growing up in the neighborhood so rough and tough
Raised by the street light all night just throwing it up
It was the life I chose, got no regrets
But twenty percent of my homies are now straight dead


Forty percent locked away, thirty percent moved up straight
One day I had a decision and my decision stayed
Life of a gangsta, ese, that's what it was
Holding my grudge forever, never showing love
Handcuffed in the back of a black and white
To juvenile hall where I started the fights

Up all night, causing ruckus with the juras
Got sent home to jail, took the first hit of the buddha

Moved away out of the county of L.A
To new territory but the hood′s where my heart stays
By the way, I started a new clica
Los Morenos, remember, living la vida

I made a choice to live the street life
They said leave it alone but this is my life
Although I chose wrong (I chose wrong)
This is still my home (My home)
And I can′t walk away (Can't walk away)
This is my life (Ooh), oh whoa


Now I′m seventeen with a bullet, living foolish
Causing desmadre, another jale, let's do it
Temper evil, wicked Louie in the Cadillac
With a shotgun in the back, strapped for the big payback
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat, another leva hits the dirt
Putting in work and you know what′s worse
When the G's throw rat and talk to the police
My mom′s giving visitas at the county

Sorry, moms, but this is my life
I know I chose wrong but tell me what is right
When these chavalas disrespect my canton
Sike, blowin' to the bone, gotta let 'em know
Why they call me Capone

Another chump bites the dust
Nineteen years old now and I′m running amok
Running the hood, up to no good
A pack-bunny, it′ll don't get me misunderstood

I made a choice to live the street life
They said leave it alone but this is my life
Although I chose wrong (I chose wrong)
This is still my home (My home)
And I can′t walk away (Can't walk away)
This is my life (Ooh), oh whoa

Decisions you make makes up your fate
I′m proud to be a G, never hesitate
To let you know I can't walk away
Got nothing to prove but I′m still here today
Sent away, some feria, to the pen
To the homeboys I might not ever see again
From friend to friend, we gangstas for life
What we've been through, nobody can despise
Recite and bang like we used to do
I don't have a lady ′cause I kept it true

Married to the barrio, one hundred percent listo
I hurt a lot of people but it was my ego
Kilos I′m pushing, cuetes I'm busting
House getting raided and faded off dusting
My crazy life, that′s all my alibi
Got nothing to hide, still proud inside, ese

I made a choice to live the street life
They said leave it alone but this is my life
Although I chose wrong (I chose wrong)
This is still my home (My home)
And I can't walk away (Can′t walk away)
This is my life (Ooh), oh whoa
