Lyrics

Who do I really wanna be
Decades from now who I want looking back at me
Is this the only place I will forever be
Nah not me, not me
Who's gonna be giving up now
Who's throwing up hands and tossing in the towel
Who's giving up on faith to just believe in doubt
Nah not me, not me
See I know I gotta fix a few things
Need to live and learn a few things
Know I gotta tie a few strings
Get to running, try some new things, new things
I know I still got some big dreams
Got strength to conquer no matter what weather brings
That's why everyday my focus has come to be
See, not on who I am but who I come to be
For so long my soul has just been ingrained
Solely by the past mistakes that were made
Standing still without the will to change the necessary
In order for change to happen
But something in me feeling like the wiz
Cause I'm feeling like a brand new day
So I'ma take another chance, try for one more day
Keeping in mind gonna have to change some of my ways
Lift the weights of pain above my head, use it as strength
Live the lesson learned and keep on working on the faith
Won't get more than I can handle and I will defeat this battle
Tempest, transit, testimony
Only soldier fighting for me
Claiming only victory
Over change that needs to be
Anger cannot mold me
Cause I'm claiming to be free
Who do I really wanna be
Decades from now who I want looking back at me
Is this the only place I will forever be
Nah not me, not me
Who's gonna be giving up now
Who's throwing up hands and tossing in the towel
Who's giving up on faith to just believe in doubt
Nah not me, not me
See I know I gotta fix a few things
Need to live and learn a few things
Know I gotta tie a few strings
Get to running, try some new things
I know I still got some big dreams
Got strength to conquer no matter what weather brings
That's why everyday my focus has come to be
See, not on who I am but who I come to be
I've discovered I can
Find comfort within discomfort
Laying within layers
Wishing more layers to cover my fears of discovery
Wrong left its stains
Living as if the good of the past has dug its grave
But I'm bout to dig up out this grave body
Bursting out like a motherfucking thriller
So I'ma keep it realer
Not allow this shit to hinder
I'ma get to standing, let forgiveness be my healer
Then I'll take a step at a time, only one
Keep it going till finally I can run
I'ma keep head up, refuse and give up, try a different way
I'ma keep on looking forward toward a forward looking day
Focus, focus on focusing before I run astray
So I can keep on running, keep on striving for the next third day
Who do I really wanna be
Decades from now who I want looking back at me
Is this the only place I will forever be
Nah not me, not me
Who's gonna be giving up now
Who's throwing up hands and tossing in the towel
Who's giving up on faith to just believe in doubt
Nah not me, not me
