[verse 1]
I'm the one!
I'm the one standing in my way.
I'm the one that made it hard.
I’m the one, who got angry for no damn reason.
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
I’m the one who made you leave!
I'm the one, that didn’t communicate!
I’m the one who got quiet and shut down, and went into self protection mode.
I’m the one, who was cold hearted!
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
[soulful ad-lib]
[verse 2]
I’m the one who didn’t know love.
I'm the one who made love hard.
I’m the one who didn’t love.
I’m the one who was hard to love.
I felt no one loved me.
How foolish of me!!
How foolish of me!!
There were people who loved me.
There were people, who tried to love me.
I pushed them away and created my loneliness.
How foolish of me!!
How foolish of me!!
[heavy soulful ad-lib]
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
I’m the one, who was scared of love, because of the pain. The pain of not knowing love.
The pain of being abandoned by love!
I showed no love But, wanted to be loved.
How foolish of me!
How foolish of me!
[chorus]
I’m the one
I’m the one
[soulful ad-lib]
[verse 3]
I'm the one who Dreamed big.
I'm the one, who was scared to make those dreams a reality.
I listened to the wrong people, who didn’t have my best interests at heart. They created my fear, and caused me to struggle, feel abandoned, and defeated.
Which damn near destroyed me.
I'm the one, who's gotta break this cycle.
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
[verse 4]
I’m the one that’s gotta break this curse!
I'm the one who can't afford to be paralyzed, hurt or damaged, because my daddy wasn't there.
I gotta be the daddy, I never had for my girls.
I gotta take this pain, and use it to fuel my destiny!
I’m the one, that’s gotta be the man, that understands, time waits for no man.
I’m the one that's gotta make it!!
I gotta be the example, protector, provider and teacher, because
my little ones are looking to me.
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
[soulful ad-lib]
[verse 5]
I'm the one who writes his own destiny.
Can’t nobody tell me how to live my life!
I’m stronger, and more confident now.
Im free.
I am free!!
I am free!!
I thank God, he loves me so!!
Where would I be without him!!
I would be dead! gone! tormented! and in my dark, grave!!
I thank God for his love, mercy, protection, peace, and blessings.
I thank God He softened my heart, and gave me a chance to get it right.
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
[Verse 6]
I’m the one that’s gotta make it!!
I'm the one that's gotta shine bright!
I'm the one, that's gotta finally love,
and allow myself to be loved.
No more excuses!
No more excuses!
I’m the one, that’s gotta change by actions.
[heavy gospel ad-lib]
[verse 7]
Too many have been hurt, because of unknown pain, and unhealed trauma.
I’m the one, sorry for the tears and pain I caused!
[chorus]
I’m the one!
I’m the one!
[gospel soulful ad-lib]
I'm the one.
