Verse 1:
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 wanna 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
Verse 2:
it used to be a few artists at a time
now, even the veterans wait in line
pre-mature release of these albums online
makin' it hard for real entertainers to shine
if you manage to defeat all these odds against you
keep doin' your thang 'cause i'm not mad at you
just tryin' to figure out where i fit into
all of this now, or if i do
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

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 sittin' here workin 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:
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
Bridge:
well, i gave it some time
and i made up my mind
move over, this is my time
b-rocka's back on the grind
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
