[Verse 1]
They told me "pick one lane"
Like life is some hallway
One door, one name
One job on a small plate
But I’m parent and poet
I’m learner and guide
I’m the one on the phone at 3
And the one that still cries
[Chorus]
I’m more than one purpose
More than one role
Many ways to give love
Many ways to be whole
I change with the seasons
Still the same soul
I don’t fit in their boxes
That’s how I know I’m gold (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Some days I’m the healer
Just holding your hand
Some days I’m the student
Who don’t understand
I’m a friend, I’m a mirror
I’m the joke, I’m the truth
All these faces I’m wearing
Are the colors of my roots
[Chorus]
I’m more than one purpose
More than one role
Many ways to give love
Many ways to be whole
I change with the seasons
Still the same soul
I don’t fit in their boxes
That’s how I know I’m gold (hey)
[Bridge]
Summer, I’m blazing
Autumn, I’m letting go
Winter, I’m quiet
Spring, I’m starting slow
Every new version
Still me underneath
I serve in a thousand ways
Every breath, I breathe
[Chorus]
I’m more than one purpose
More than one role
Many ways to give love
Many ways to be whole
I change with the seasons
Still the same soul
I don’t fit in their boxes
That’s how I know I’m gold (I’m gold)
