Intro
County Line Road, black suit, 2 AM Three voices and a quarter tank
Verse 1
Tie loosened past the knot, wristband from the viewing still on Phone face-down on the console, fourteen missed and I ain't moving 95 South past Lauderhill, billboards don't say nothing helpful Mama texted "where you at" three hours back, I left it blue Suit jacket on the headrest smell like flowers and the pew Rearview got three faces and I recognize 'em all One grinning, one crying, one staring at the wall
Pre-chorus
I know if I answer any call right now Somebody gon' choose for me, somebody gon' choose
Chorus
Three voices on my shoulders, can't tell which one's right One say go, one say pray, one say nothin' matters tonight Three on my shoulders, funeral program on the passenger side Who I listen to gon' change the next forty years of my life Forty years
Verse 2
First one talk like D'Angelo from the block, not the singer Say "they took your boy, you just gon' let 'em keep the receipt?" Say "weakness got a smell, everybody at that service sniffed it" He bring up every slight from middle school like he journaled it Say pride the only currency that work at every funeral He don't mention the casket, he mention who was absent Say "handle it, or they gon' handle you by the weekend"
Chorus
Three voices on my shoulders, can't tell which one's right One say go, one say pray, one say nothin' matters tonight Three on my shoulders, funeral program on the passenger side Who I listen to gon' change the next forty years of my life
Verse 3
Second one sound like Auntie Gwen after Thursday Bible study She say "baby, who raised you? She still breathing, act like it" Say "your little sister watched you walk in, watched harder when you left" She bring up the scholarship letter you ain't opened yet She don't yell, she just get quiet like the back row at the service She say "the version of you that walks in that house tomorrow That's the only one your nephew gon' remember"
Bridge
First voice say "you soft" Second voice say "you loved" Third voice ain't even talking Third voice just breathing That's the most dangerous one
Verse 4
Third one don't raise its voice, that's what make it stick It say "pain is the weather here, you don't pack for rain on Tuesday" Say "your boy gone, another one going, that's the zip code" It don't sell revenge and it don't sell you God It just say "this is normal" and that's the coldest bar I ever heard Say "the good choice and the bad choice end up at the same gas station" And I look around and I'm already parked
Verse 5
Chevron on County Line, pump six, AC off Program from the service on the seat, his face smiling Twenty-three in the photo, twenty-three when they closed it Phone lit up again, I watch the name then watch it go dark I ain't choosing the good voice and I ain't choosing the bad I'm just sitting in the quiet between every version of myself Car off, dome light, just breathing
Chorus
Three voices on my shoulders, can't tell which one's right One say go, one say pray, one say nothin' matters tonight Three on my shoulders, funeral program on the passenger side Who I listen to gon' change the next forty years of my life
