Dilemma Over Morals

[Intro] Yeah, yeah Philly nights, cold choices Dilemma over morals, what you gon' do? [Chorus] I'm stuck in a dilemma over morals, it's war in my mind Gotta choose between the hunger and the wrongs I can't hide If I play it by the book, can I still make it alive? If I bend for the bread, will my conscience survive? [Bridge 1] Youngin' from the city where the sirens don't sleep Every move got a price, every promise too deep [Bridge 2] Tryna stay solid when the pressure get heavy But the block love to test you when your pockets ain't ready [Chorus] I'm stuck in a dilemma over morals, it's war in my mind Gotta choose between the hunger and the wrongs I can't hide If I play it by the book, can I still make it alive? If I bend for the bread, will my conscience survive? [Bridge 3] Mama told me, "Son, don't trade your soul for a bag" But the rent on my back got me clutchin' that stash [Bridge 4] Real talk, it's a line when you cross that fence One decision could flip your whole existence [Bridge 5] So I'm weighin' my heart while the streets keep callin' In a world full of traps, one wrong step, you fallin' [Chorus] I'm stuck in a dilemma over morals, it's war in my mind Gotta choose between the hunger and the wrongs I can't hide If I play it by the book, can I still make it alive? If I bend for the bread, will my conscience survive? [Outro] Philly on my shoulders, I been fightin' the night Dilemma over morals, but I'm searchin' for light [Fades Out]
