ฟังเพลงI Choose (Album Version)

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. (Hey ey)

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. (NO!)

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 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've been.

But today,

I have the opportunity to choose. (Hey ey)

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.
