Poorstacy Choose Life

Rising emo-rap star POORSTACY delivered his first single since dropping his debut album, The Breakfast Club, back in March. The title a possible reference to the famous monologue from the 1996 film, Trainspotting, in which the main character, Mark Renton, begs the viewer to “choose life” instead of the drug-ridden path he and his friends have taken, POORSTACY’s “Choose Life” single is full of despair and feelings of defeat. However, he opens the song with a soundbite of a British person offering some encouragement to the listener. “Don’t live life limited to the boundaries that you’ve created for yourself,” the mysterious voice advises. “Choose to do as you please. Don’t give up. Choose life.”

In the music video for “Choose Life,” shots of POORSTACY and his friends partying on the beach, doing keg stands and being reckless are cut with shots of the emo-rapper and his band performing on stage and featured artist Travis Barker rocking out on the drums in his own home.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Don’t live life limited to the boundaries that you’ve created for yourself
Choose to do as you please
Don’t give up
Choose life

[Chorus]
Why should I try?
If I’m gonna lose you anyway
I don’t wanna see another day
Oh I say
Why should I try?
If I’m gonna lose you anyway
I don’t wanna see another day
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse]
Bad days and bad relations
Now all that I do is pace around my room all-day (My room all-day)
Everything’s so complicated
When all you do is think about what people have to say (What people have to say)
I’m always wrong, you’re always right
Why do we always have to fight?
All that I do is sacrifice myself for you
I’ve been looking for the light
I think I’m running out of time
I wanna dance the night away with you

[Chorus]
Why should I try?
If I’m gonna lose you anyway
I don’t wanna see another day
Oh I say
Why should I try?
If I’m gonna lose you anyway
I don’t wanna see another day
Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Why should I try?
Why should I try?
Why should I try?
Why should I try?

[Chorus]
Why should I try?
If I’m gonna lose you anyway
I don’t wanna see another day
Oh I say
Why should I try?
If I’m gonna lose you anyway
I don’t wanna see another day
Oh, oh, oh
