"Decision"
Written by Lonnie Lynn (Common), Denaun Porter (Mr. Porter) and Trevor Smith (Busta Rhymes)
I made a decision
Despite all the things that we go through
I'm gonna take more time with you
And be a friend indeed
I made a decision
That everything's gon' be alright
Gonna stay strong and keep it tight
I'll be there indeed

Yes, let me talk to you
See, when it feels like the sun 

Ain't shining bright enough
It's like the devil's trying 

To work to give an idol up
And though I'm blessed, I still got to Handle the things I go through
It's good to have a friend

With another perspective to show you
Someone you know that knows you 

And gives you motivation
Someone that you can go to 

And vent your frustrations
We always talk about our peeps

How we be everywhere
When you need them the most 

Are they really ever there?
See, everything be all good 

When we be having fun
The difference is really needing a friend And having one
It's good when your peoples are there 

To help your problems
And help you smile about it 

While finding a way to solve 'em
Look at here, let me keep it at 100 

And let me tell you
How you hold me down is something 

I genuinely value
I got a clearer view
And being that you're always here for me I'll be here for you

I made a decision
Despite all the things that we go through
I'm gonna take my time with you
And be a friend indeed
I made a decision
That everything's gon' be alright
Gonna stay strong and keep it tight
I'll be there indeed

Well, how you been baby? But I'm sayin'
Even though we probably link up 

Every now and then
With minimal convo

Look, it's really good to see you friend
Something I realize is that 

I don't even have to mention
Is whether or not you got m
e
That's something that I never question
Sometimes I feel that the people 
That I love don't appreciate me
And some hate to see the shit 

I've been going through lately
See, you was here 

When it started to haywire
You're still here

Walking with me going through the fire
And I really love you for it

I know you all relate too
On everything that I believe 

And I appreciate you
And just for that, it don't matter 

You can put that on my name
The way you rep me, let me be there 

Just for you the same
Sometimes the pressure and the pain

It be wearing me out
But I thank you for just being there 

And for hearing me out
I got a clearer view
I thank God that you've been there for me I'm here for you

I made a decision
Despite all the things that we go through
I'm gonna take more time with you
And be a friend indeed
I made a decision
Everything's gon' be alright
Gonna stay strong and keep it tight
I'll be there indeed
I made a decision

I look in your eye and I see the pain in it
Life's a game, maybe the game did it
I know I changed, they say the fame did it
Life has changed, maybe the game did it
Two friends, now in two different places
And the mister catching planes

And you catching cases
Friendship, we never based it on position
No matter the game

We both shared the same vision
Decisions to split us in the place 

That life seemed to hit us
I would come to town 

And never get up with you
Around then, things weren't so simple
I had my own issues 

That I was trying to get through
Outside chatter, messing with our mental
On the chase of funds

The trust, you can't forget too
It's the real friends

That you've got to tend to
No matter how far

Just know that I'm with you

I made a decision
Despite all the things that we go through
I'm gonna take more time with you
And be a friend indeed
I made a decision
That everything's gon' be alright
Gonna stay strong and keep it tight
I'll be there indeed
I made a decision
