Lesser of the Evil
Choosing Redemption: Navigating Life's Shadows with Lite Fortunato
Lyrics
It get bad either way choose the lesser of the evil
Choosing the lesser evil in difficult situations is necessary.
I was sad for some days I lost some my closest people
Experiencing sadness due to the loss of close people.
Had to find my own way my momma said they gone mislead you
Struggling to find one's own path, cautioned by the mother about potential misguidance.
Had to drop out of school the streets taught me shit school won't teach you
Dropping out of school because life experiences on the streets provide essential lessons not taught in school.
And them people say they love me but the word love kind of lethal
Skepticism about love, considering it potentially harmful.
If they cannot benefit off it I bet they will not need you
People's affection is conditional, based on benefits they can gain.
With the cars outside and the hoes outside they waiting on my appearance
Being awaited outside by cars and people, indicating a significant presence or fame.
And my mom had to play both sides I had no dad so she was both parents
Single-parent upbringing, with the mother playing both parental roles.
When my grandma died I was crying my eyes out you know it did damage
Emotional impact of the grandmother's death, causing lasting damage.
Wish i could back to when i was on the bike at 5 she'll make me a sandwich
Nostalgia for a simpler time, symbolized by childhood memories.
Early life mom had 4 kids I was wondering how she managed
Wondering about the mother's ability to manage with four kids.
When the shots went off and I heard Cesar died I swear to god I panicked
Panic and shock at the death of someone named Cesar.
Pop 4 dam xanax cried my eyes out I was suprised I landed
Personal struggles and use of substances to cope with emotions.
On the block with no jacket it was cold outside and I was hand to handing
Difficulties faced on the streets, including the loss of friendships.
All the bros they ain't my bros no more and I don't understand it
Feeling disconnected from former friends and not understanding the change.
Every second a blessing and life is a lesson and I can't take it for granted
Valuing every moment as a blessing and life as a continuous learning experience.
Trying to get my mother out the dark times and move her right to the hamptons
Aspiring to improve family circumstances and move to a better place.
Me and Ash made a lot of racks off clothes turn you into merch yes I'm branding
Financial success through clothing business with someone named Ash.
It get bad either way choose the lesser of the evil
Reiteration of the theme of choosing the lesser evil in challenging situations.
It get bad either way choose the lesser of the evil
Re-emphasizing the importance of making tough choices.
I was sad for some days I lost some my closest people
Revisiting the feelings of sadness and loss.
Had to find my own way my momma said they gone mislead you
Reiterating the caution from the mother about potential deception.
Had to drop out of school the streets taught me shit school won't teach you
Reaffirming the value of street knowledge over formal education.
And them people say they love me but the word love kind of lethal
Reflecting on the potential danger of the word "love" when not genuine.
If they cannot benefit off it I bet they will not need you
Highlighting the conditional nature of people's affection based on benefits.
It get evil any way choose the lesser of the evil
Repeating the idea of choosing the lesser evil in any situation.
Called my mother the other day and I say I can't wait to see you
Expressing anticipation to see the mother soon.
And my brothers and sister I love to death I told them that I need you
Expressing deep love for siblings and prioritizing family over money.
I told then that it's family first that money shit beneath you
Affirming the importance of family bonds over material wealth.
Couple disagreements but you know I really really really really really love you
Acknowledging disagreements within the family but emphasizing love.
Can't change nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah I love you
Unwavering love for family members despite any changes or disagreements.
Used to you see mom cry and mop the floors to some Ashanti
Recalling memories of seeing the mother in difficult times, accompanied by music.
Tryna switch her life around and have her ride LA looking at some palm trees
Desiring positive changes in the mother's life, symbolized by moving to LA and palm trees.
They say truth hurts but I done fell in love with the pain
Acceptance of the painful truth and finding a strange comfort in it.
Don't do nun for your fam but you do it for the fame
Criticism of those who prioritize fame over helping family.
Put my heart in this shit and I slept on the floor I bet you I didn't complain
Dedication to one's craft, putting in effort without complaints.
If it's what then it's war then it's war better pick you a side cause they just gotta treat you The same
Acknowledging the potential for conflict and advising choosing a side wisely.
