I'm standing on the edge of the industry Wondering if it's all that important to me To get my records back out there on the streets It ain't like I'm hurting or anything I'm to the point right now where money ain't an issue I can roll where I want to, do what I want to do Tempted to leave it in my rear-view Because this game ain't what I'm used to [Chorus] Should I go? Should I stay? I'm in control either way Should I go? Should I stay? I'm in control either way Should I go? Should I stay? I'm in control either way Should I go? Should I stay? I'm in control either way It used to be a few artists at a time Now, even the veterans wait in line Pre-mature release of these albums online Making it hard for real entertainers to shine If you manage to defeat all these odds against you Keep doing your thing 'cause I'm not mad at you Just trying to figure out where I fit into All of this now, or if I do [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus] [Verse 3] This industry was more like a different world When it was just me, Monica, and Babygirl Aaliyah, I never got to tell you how much you meant I wish you and me both was sitting here working with Tim Just to be in the presence of people that you affected on a personal level Just makes me stop for a second (pause & exhale) You were such a blessing You only answered one of my questions [Chorus] [Bridge] Well, I gave it some time And I made up my mind Move over, this is my time Be, Rocka's back on the grind [Chorus]
