I Choose Lyrics
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
And you can't change where you been
But today I have the opportunity to choose
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
And ain't nothing gonna happen unless I decide
I choose: to be authentic in everything I do
My past don't dictate who I am
I choose
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
I choose: to be authentic in everything I do
My past don't dictate who I am
I choose
And you can't change where you been
But today I have the opportunity to choose
Because life is gonna do what it do
And everyday I have the opportunity to choose
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
I choose: to be courageous in everything I do
My past don't dictate who I am
I choose
I choose: to be authentic in everything I do
My past don't dictate who I am
I choose
And you can't change where you been
But today I have the opportunity to choose
Because life is gonna do what it do
And everyday I have the opportunity to choose

India is just amazing
I chose is really a great song about, well, choices. i chose what i want to be regardless of my past...in the past i might have been blind and dumb, i might have done a lot of mistakes and gone the wrong ways, but know i chose to set myself free from all that, and head in the right direction, in a path that will do m good!
Don't regreat the past...mistakes are what makes you grow up...
