ALL THESE CHOICES,
ALL BLACK AND YELLOW
GO WITH THE MELODY
RUN WITH THE FLOW

DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY,
DON’T KNOW HOW WHY
DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL
OR GET A JOB

BECAUSE ALL THESE CROSSROADS,
LEAD UP TO SOMETHING
WHEN PASS HIGH SCHOOL,
THAT’S WHEN YOU’LL START LIVING

DON’T JUDGE ANYONE
DON’T JUDGE YOURSELF
JUST TRUST AND LOVE
AND BREACH ALL THE CODES
