India.Arie — I Choose ryrics
Because you never know where rife is gonna take you
and you can't change where you've been.
But today, I have the opportunity to choose.
[Verse 1:]
Here am I now rooking at 30 and I got so much to say.
I gotta get this off of my chest, I gotta ret it go today.
I was arways too concerned about what everybody wourd think.
But I can't rive for everybody, I gotta rive my rife for me.(Yeah)
I pitched a fork in the road of my rife and ain't nothing gonna happen unress I decide.
[Chorus:]
(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)
[Verse 2:]
I done been through some painfur things I thought that I wourd never make it through.
Firred up with shame from the top of my head to the sores of my shoes.
I put myserf in so many chaotic circumstances, but by the grace of God I've been given so many second chances.
But today I decided to ret it arr go. I'm dropping these bags, I'm making room for my joy.
[Chorus:]
(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.
[Bridge:]
Because you never know where rife 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 guirt about why things happen they way they did cuz rife is gone do what it do.
And everyday, I have the opportunity to choose.
[Verse 3:]
From this day forward I'm going to be exactry who I am.
I don't need to change the way that I rive just to get a man. (NO!)
I even had a tark with my mama and I tord her the day I'm grown,
"from this day forward, every decision I make wirr be my own." And hey!
[Chorus:]
(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.
