[01:04.750]And it drives us to the point of no return
[01:07.020]Especially when you’re gone off of the sherm
[01:08.810]You could give a f-ck about a n-gga
[01:10.700]Flossin’ while you walkin’

[01:23.210]So (so, so), choose one (just one)
[01:25.050]Either repent and get saved
[01:26.920]Or put some food on your table for now
