You never know where life is gonna take you And you can't change where you been I have the opportunity to choose
Here I am now lookin' at 30 And I got so much to say Gotta get this offa my chest I gotta let it go today I was always too concerned About what everybody would think But I can't live for evreybody I gotta live my life for me
I reached a fork in the road of my life And ain't nothin' gonna happen unless I decide If I choose to be the best that I can be If I choose To be off and tickin' everything My past don't dictate who I am I choose Yes
I done been through some painful tihngs 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 been given so many second chances But today I decided to let it go I'm droppin' t-bags I'm makin room for my jokes
And I choose to be the best that I can be To be off and tickin' everything I do My past don't dictate who I am I choose
Because yo unever know where life is gonna take ya And you can't change where ya been But today I have the opportunity to choose release the guilt about why things have been that way Cause life is gonna do what it do And every day I have the opportunity to choose
From this day, I'm gonna be exactly who I am I don' thave to change the way I live just to get a man Even had a talk with my mama And I told her today 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 Yeah
And I choose... To be the best that I can be I choose... To be optimistic in everything I do My past don't dictate who I am I choose Yeah
Because yo unever know where life is gonna take ya And you can't change where ya been But today I have the opportunity to choose release the guilt about why things have been that way Cause life is gonna do what it do And every day I have the opportunity to choose
