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?
