Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, since I was young, been grooving to my own drum
Ain't that many teachers show me my potential
Felt like a failure
Mama said, "You know better"
Future in my hands, God, she had a plan
Stronger than I know, soon, I'd understand
The power I possess, the story of The Chosen
[Verse 2]
Oh, since I was young, been grooving to my own drum
Ain't that many teachers show me my potential
Felt like a failure
Mama said, "You know better"
Future in my hands, God, she had a plan
Stronger than I know, soon, I'd understand
The power I possess, the story of The Chosen
[Verse 3]
The story of The Chosen
Rose Golden
[Verse 4]
Looking where we're at, how did we
Make it to this level all in one piece?
Oh, oh, oh, where them friends now?
I don't see 'em
And if I do, I don't sense the truth in 'em
Distancing myself while I'm focusing, fo-focusing
Don't pretend to worry 'bout shit
Go through one ear and out the other
Better off saying nothing, ****
As I shine on and dream on, our vibes are on
Had one trip of a dream back in 2003
Who am I and who will I be?
Will I be free? I need a sign
Oh, I need a sign
[Verse 5]
Oh, since I was young, been grooving to my own drum
Ain't that many teachers show me my potential
Felt like a failure
Mama said, "You know better"
Future in my hands, God, she had a plan
Stronger than I know, soon, I'd understand
The power I possess, the story of The Chosen
[Verse 6]
The story of The Chosen
Rose Golden
[Verse 7]
Look at who you are, how could it be?
All I ever wanted was to find some inner-peace
Oh, oh, oh, where them haters now?
I don't hear 'em
They must be delusional
To think they fucking with me though
I put that on my soul
Can't love, they jealous, so jealous and some
Learning day to day, humans
Spread love to all my my sisters and brothers
Let's do better
Stop judging a **** because they're different
We're supposed to groove to our own tune, so woke
From that one tripped out dream back in 2003
Who am I?
And who do I see, baby?
The stars will align, the stars will align
[Verse 8]
Oh, since I was young, been grooving to my own drum
Ain't that many teachers show me my potential
Felt like a failure
Mama said, "You know better"
Future in my hands, God, she had a plan
Stronger than I know, soon, I'd understand
The power I possess, the story of The Chosen
[Verse 9]
Oh, since I was young, been grooving to my own drum
Ain't that many teachers show me my potential
Felt like a failure
Mama said, "You know better"
Future in my hands, God, she had a plan
Stronger than I know, soon, I'd understand
The power I possess, the story of The Chosen
[Verse 10]
The story of The Chosen
Rose Golden
The story of The Chosen
