Because you never know where life is gonna take you
and you can't change where you've been
But today
I have the opportunity to choose
Here am I now looking at 30
and I got so much to say
I gotta get this off of my chest
I gotta let it go today
I was always too concerned about
what everybody would think
But I can't live for everybody
I gotta live my life for me Yeah
I pitched 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 Yeah
I done been through some painful things
I thought that
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
but 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 joy
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've been
But today
I have the opportunity to choose
I used to have guilt about why things happen they way
they did cuz life is gone 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 that
I live just to get a man
I even had a talk with my mama and
I told her the day I'm grown
from this day forward
every decision I make will be my ow And hey
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've been
But today, I have the opportunity to choose
I used to have guilt about why things happen they way
they did cuz life is gone do what it do
And everyday
I have the opportunity to choose
