Testo I Choose

Feat. Bonnie Raitt



Because you never know where life is gonna take you

And you can't change where you been
But today I have the opportunity to choose



Here am I now, looking at 30, and I got so much to say

Gotta get this off of my chest, I gotta let it go today

I was always too concerned with what everybody would think

But I can't live for everybody, I gotta live my life for me



I reached a fork in the road of my life,
And ain't nothing gonna happen unless I decide



And I choose: to be the best that I can be

I choose: to be authentic in everything I do

My past don't dictate who I am

I choose



I done been through some painful things

I thought I would never make it through

Filled up with shame from the top of my head,

To the soles of my shoes

I put myself in so many chaotic circumstances

By the grace of God, I've been given so many second chances

But today I decided to let it all go

I'm dropping these bags, i'm making room for my junk



And I choose: to be the best that I can be

I choose: to be authentic in everything I do

My past don't dictate who I am

I choose



Because you never know where life is gonna take you

And you can't change where you been

But today I have the opportunity to choose



Release the guilt about the way things happen,

Because life is gonna do what it do

And everyday I have the opportunity to choose



From this day forward, I'm going to be exactly who I am

I don't need to change the way I live just to get a man

I even had a talk with my mama, and I told her that I'm grown

This day forward, every decision that I make will be my own



And I choose: to be the best that I can be

I choose: to be courageous in everything I do

My past don't dictate who I am

I choose



And I choose: to be the best that I can be

I choose: to be authentic in everything I do

My past don't dictate who I am

I choose



Because you never know where life is gonna take you

And you can't change where you been

But today I have the opportunity to choose



Release the guilt about the way things happen,

Because life is gonna do what it do

And everyday I have the opportunity to choose
