What makes you think everything in this world That you have can be taken away? In the world this day, it's kill or be killed I live each day like it might be my last In this lifetime, few things are worth fighting for My blood, your honor Everyone has a destiny I'll choose my own I will not be a victim I'll choose my own My cries won't go unheard I'll choose my own I got to fight (fight) for myself I'll choose my own And by my own control - destiny I'll choose my own destiny And I'll never let anyone take away what I hold so true I won't live in denial And I won't turn the other cheek I must remain convicted and never accept this suffering I've learned from my mistakes And I've made a promise to myself I won't live in the past I won't live in the past I've been affected by your lies And I've let them hold me back I wasn't thinking for myself I wasn't living for myself I will not be a victim I'll choose my own My cries won't go unheard I'll choose my own I got to fight (fight) for myself I'll choose my own And by my own control What I have in my heart What I have in my heart I'll take to my grave I'll take to my grave
