I Choose
INDIA.ARIE

Because you never know where life is going to take you

And you can't change where you've been

But today, I have the opportunity to choose


Here I am now looking at 30 and I've got so much to say

Gotta get this off of my chest, I've 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


I have 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've been through some painful things

I thought that I would never make it though

Filled up with shame, from the top of my head

To the soles of my shoes


I've put myself in so many chaotic circumstances

By the grace of God

I've been given so many second chances


But today I've 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 going to take you

And you can't change where you've been


But today, I have the opportunity to choose


Release the guilt about my things and how they

Because life is going to do what it do

And every day, 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 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

And 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 going to take you

And you can't change where you've been

But today, I have the opportunity to choose


Hey, it is the girl [incomprehensible]

Because life is gonna do what you do

And everyday, I have the opportunity to choose
