My Choice Lyrics – Alkaline

My Choice Lyrics Meaning

[President dead / Money instead]
Here, Alkaline is saying that while important leaders or “presidents” might fall or disappear, his focus stays on money. He’s not distracted by politics or drama; he’s all about the cash. The chains and rings, and even the arms and legs, represent expensive jewelry and physical protection. He’s thinking hard about what he needs, maybe even wondering about medicine or how to stay mentally ready. Basically, he’s gearing up and ready to do whatever it takes to keep his money game strong.

[Di bread dat ah wa matta to mi di most]
In this part, he talks about how money, which he calls “bread,” is the most important thing to him. He doesn’t just want a little; he wants a big amount, like a full meal instead of just a small snack. He’s aiming to be a billionaire, and that dream feels close to him now. Spending cash everywhere isn’t a joke for him—he’s serious about it. He also mentions carrying a Glock 17, meaning he’s ready to protect himself if anyone tries to mess with him. The world he lives in is dangerous, so he stays alert and sharp because it’s cutthroat out there. Money is his choice above everything else.

[Check mi ah defend yuh more dan anyting]
Alkaline is saying he defends himself and what’s his more than anything else. The image of banking overflow turning into a coil shows how money keeps growing fast. He remembers when every small silver coin was precious and used to drop into a tin for savings. Now, he talks about stocks rising high, like buildings, meaning his investments and wealth are growing. He’s confident and handles his own moves without scripts or help, ready to face any confrontation. If anyone challenges him, he’s ready to fight back hard, making enemies regret messing with him. Cash is always upfront for him, and everything has a price. He’s rich young and serious about his work, no wasting time with small or easy gains.

[Di bread dat ah wa matta to mi di most]
Again, he repeats that money is the top priority. It’s not just about having a little but having plenty, aiming for big success and a billionaire lifestyle. Spending money freely shows he’s reached a level where cash isn’t a problem. But he still keeps his guard up because the world around him is dangerous. Staying sharp is necessary because people can be ruthless. His choice remains money.

[Shot go thru chest / Ruthless]
Here, Alkaline talks about how serious things can get. He’s ruthless when it comes to defending his life and money. He’s ready to spend a little change but warns that it can lead to serious consequences, like bullets hitting enemies and their crew. He’s real and does what he says, winning by doing his best. He plans to raise his money game higher and asks how much others are willing to lose in the process. He makes a lot of money fast, sweating with every move because he doesn’t play games or mess around. Money can make some people jealous or angry, but he calls himself a living legend. Those who try to live a dangerous life end up stuck with no way out. He’s fought hard for a long time and is proud of what he’s achieved.

[Drive luxury, live boasy ah wa mi preference]
Alkaline shares that he enjoys living luxuriously and showing off his success. He didn’t start with anything but struggled to make ends meet. Now he’s making a lot of money, yet still keeps his lifestyle modest when he wants. He’s genuinely rich and not pretending. You don’t need special glasses to see he’s successful and real. His wealth and lifestyle speak for themselves.

[Di bread dat ah wa matta to mi di most]
The song repeats this part again to emphasize how important money is to him. He wants a full success, not just a little. Being a billionaire feels close, and money stays his top choice. He’s serious about spending cash, protecting himself, and staying alert in a dangerous world. It all comes back to money being everything for him.

[Bread dat ah wa matta to mi di most]
The final lines repeat the same ideas—money is the most important thing, he’s close to huge success, and spending cash freely is serious business. He carries protection and stays sharp because it’s a dangerous world. Money is what he chooses, and nothing else comes close.
