(Spoken intro)
You ever wake up and realize
It was never them
It was always the way you chose to see it?
Yeah…
(Verse 1 – rap)
I spent years pointin’ fingers at the sky and the system
Blamed my mom, blamed my past, played the role of the victim
Every L, every scar, every cut, every tear
Was a story that I told just to justify fear
Said, “They did me wrong,” thought the world had me cursed
But the lens in my mind hit the truth in reverse
It was mind over matter, but my mind was a cage
Every thought that I fed wrote the script of my days
Then I sat in the silence, had to face what I’d done
Heard a whisper in my spirit say, “You’re not undone
You can rewrite the story if you own what you choose
‘Cause free will is the power that you kept misused”
(Pre-Chorus – melodic)
I was sleepwalkin’ deep in the dark
Blamin’ shadows for my broken heart
But the light came on when I turned inside
I ain’t a victim, I just changed my mind
(Chorus – anthem/melodic)
No more victim, I’m done with that role
I’m takin’ back what I gave away, control
Mind over matter, watch me realign
Change how I see and I change my life
Christ in my heart, not just in the sky
Kingdom within when I open my eyes
Every choice I make comes back in time
So I choose truth, I choose love, I choose to rise
(Verse 2 – rap)
I learned pain is a teacher, not a life sentence
Every wound just a call to step into repentance
Not in shame, not in guilt, but in full awareness
To admit I co-created what I called unfairness
Perception is a prism, it can bend what is real
Turn a blessing to a burden, or a cage to a field
So I flipped how I see it, started watchin’ my thoughts
Now I guard my imagination like the keys to the lock
Free will ain’t a slogan, it’s a daily decision
Every moment I can choose ego or vision
I can stay in the blame or step into my power
Every seed that I plant boomerangs in an hour
(Pre-Chorus – melodic)
I was lost in the noise of my head
Till I heard that still voice instead
Said, “You’re not broken, you’re divine
Own your choices, watch your spirit climb”
(Chorus – anthem/melodic)
No more victim, I’m done with that role
I’m takin’ back what I gave away, control
Mind over matter, watch me realign
Change how I see and I change my life
Christ in my heart, not just in the sky
Kingdom within when I open my eyes
Every choice I make comes back in time
So I choose truth, I choose love, I choose to rise
(Bridge – spiritual, melodic/chant)
Christ consciousness, that’s a state, not a name
It’s the peace in the storm, it’s the love in the pain
It’s forgiving myself for the things that I’ve done
Then living so aligned I don’t need to run
It’s the way that I treat every stranger I see
Knowin’ God in them is the God inside me
It’s the courage to stand when my old self falls
To say “I chose this” and still answer the call
(Outro – half-rap/half-melodic)
So if life hits hard and you feel that
