I Choose Myself

If I ever had to go and choose Between the life that's mine or yours Between the darkness and lit rooms I'd choose myself it's true But I assure you There's beauty in these hard times There's hunger behind my eyes There's a visionary living inside me I assure you Everything ordained When I graduated I chose to part my ways Took a risk on life I been tryna pave the way Palestinian, yea In my DNA! Independent, can't listen to what they say I be living I got another way I be getting it, either way, they can't stop me Did it by myself And I know they're trying to copy I feel it in my chest When they wanna get around me I just wanna be the best Put my pride to the side Elevating life when I'm tapped in with mine Knowing that my life it gets better with time Knowing that the truth it be covered in lies I'm a living proof of the things that I write If I ever had to go and choose Between the life that's mine or yours Between the darkness and lit rooms I'd choose myself it's true but I assure you There's beauty in these hard times There's hunger behind my eyes There's a visionary living inside me I assure you Keep the faith in time Moments pass by When you're caught up in your mind Energy is lifting, I see it in the night The energy is shifting I trust it every time! You're caught up in this lifestyle! You're caught up in these trials! I dig a little deeper I'm running up these miles I'm betting on myself And I'm taking all these files Sticking to the vision Cause you know these stars align Sticking to the vision Cause you know I put the time in I'm thinking about a change Can we change up this climate? I'm thinking what to say Maybe I'll keep it private Moving off the ground And you can call me the pilot! Moving and I'm vibing I'm out here refining Cannot tell me nothing I'll show you I got it Cannot tell me nothing I showed you I got this! If I ever had to go and choose Between the life that's mine or yours Between the darkness and lit rooms I'd choose myself it's true But I assure you There's beauty in these hard times There's hunger behind my eyes There's a visionary living inside me I assure you There's a visionary living inside me I assure you
