Before Dishonor

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 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
