Is It Worth It? - Nilah Lois

Ooh, oh I, hey Ooh, oh I, hey Is it worth it? Tell me Is it worth it? If I show up when I want In the sea of the same face Is it worth my time, time? My compass does just fine on its own So much pride, it built a second home I, I can't hide behind me no more I went solo and flew high (high) No one said it would be easy or crowded How do you stay grounded alone? (I) I wanna be surrounded by My design in full Not for sale Is it worth it? (Ooh) Tell me Is it worth it? (Oh I, hey) If I show up when I want (ooh) In the sea of the same face (oh I, hey) Is it worth my time, time? I can't keep up with this passive aggression Look, I'm still tryna move up while I'm rootin' for us (uh-huh) You don't think it's too much pressure on me, I can't always be right But I'ma always be righteous, although it's tough Music and spirit, I admit, I'm obsessive (ooh) Service looks different to every person, I'm Overstimulated and so bored Can only be comfortable for so long, I I've been puttin' me first, oh, yeah You might've seen her, but now, I I won't go, uh I won't go Worst case, I'ma be in and be out Guess, unless I'm tryna figure out Is it worth it? (Ooh) Tell me Is it worth it? (Oh I, hey) If I show up when I want (ooh) In the sea of the same face (oh I, hey) Is it worth my time, time?

You know that (You know that) You give into it (Give into it) The countless times you did Don't kid (Don't kid) Yourself in this (Yourself in this) Pity the mind you're living in Jumping ship Sinking fast Hold your breath While the others pass How much time is left for you to work this out? Is it worth it now? (Is it worth it now?) Swim right into the center of all your doubt Take the route you won't allow (Is it worth it?) Is it worth it now? (Is it worth it?) Is it worth it now? (Is it worth it?) Is it worth it now? Disinterest in the things that made you wanna live Is sad enough itself, isn't it? Down as you are Couldn't be deeper than the past And to that, you must confess (Just be honest) Jumping ship Sinking fast Hold your breath While the others pass How much time is left for you to work this out? Is it worth it now? (Is it worth it now?) Swim right into the center of all your doubt Take the route you won't allow (Is it worth it?) Is it worth it now? (Is it worth it?) Is it worth it now? Is it worth it now? (Is it worth it now?) (Is it worth it?)

Two sides to a coin The one must chose which side they join You know? Brotherman Yeah And meanwhile one man's meal Is another man's poison Mankind will do what they must to survive Innit Hear me now In a gunman world Any night him clock in at work Marrow splatter, the toolbox pull The magazine inna the two Glock full And he's watching as the days go by And he's counting as his peers all die Sleeping with the rifle 'cross his chest So he never gets a good night's rest And then he's cranky in the morning times And more victims have to lose their lives The community a twist and twirl Sing that they wasn't in a gunman world In a gunman life He might not come home from work one night So every minute matter Ignores advice From his weeping baby mother and child That he won't win every game he plays So she know he'll meet his end one day Some juvenile will have to earn his stripe And have to take another gunman's life What if a backstabber names his price? And how ironic if him dead from knife The 'mount of bullet weh him put 'pon boy Job description: kill and destroy Now tell me is it worth it all? If one Don rise then a next must fall Tell me is it worth it all? Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call Tell me is it worth it all? One child smile while a next one bawl Tell me is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it all? Well, in a gunman world Life is so stressful Back to school time come 'Cause when a gunman work If he is successful And the job is well done Then there will be an unsolved crime With no one to fill out all blank line John Public haffi hear and deaf Informer get a kuff, kaff, kweff Does he get nervous just like you and I? Watching out if the police pass by 'Cause any day you hear a gunman fail Then it's either dead house or jail What will it cost to make a gunman rich? How many lives before a gunman switch? The truth me want the youth them stop ignore Say the majority of gunman poor, oya, oh 'Cause tell me is it worth it all? If one don rise then a next one fall Tell me is it worth it all? Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call Tell me is it worth it all? One child smile while a next one bawl Tell me is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it all? And when a gunman makes choice I wonder what goes through a gunman's mind And does a gunman think twice? Before him takes another someone's life? I wonder what it is a gunman say To the Father when a gunman pray Does he kiss his kids to bed at night? Making sure the blanket tucked just right? Nothing no scary like a gunman voice When people beg a gunman think twice And him say, "No" What coulda scary like a gunman voice? When people beg a gunman think twice And him say, "No" Can you tell me is it worth it all? If one don rise then a next must fall Tell me is it worth it all? Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call Tell me is it worth it all? Don child smile while a next one bawl Tell me is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it all?

I heard there was a secret chord, That David played and it pleased the lord, But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth, The minor fall and the major lift, The baffled king composing hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Your faith was strong but you needed proof, You saw her bathing on the roof, Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya, She tied you to her kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair, And from your lips she drew the hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Maybe there's a god above, But all I've ever learned from love, Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya, And it's not a cry that you hear at night, It's not someone who has seen the light, It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
