I'Ve Been Told

I Was Told "
(Verse 1)
Before  we were born,  already ?? labeled 
Nobody could see,  but I knew with God I was able 
Able to be,  be all that I can
I was already  apart  of the plan
At times I didn't 
  know,  which  route to choose 
I was all messed up,  emotionally  confused 
You'll never  be this 
You'll never do that 
People basing me off opinions 
No longer facts 
I made myself a promise 
A promise that I will hold 
Never base your life 
Based off,  what you were told 

Chorus 
Never loose sight of your dreams 
You're not losing
Only winning (winning) 
God already knew(knew) 
From the beginning (beginning) 
In life you can choose or be chose
But don't live it based off what you were told

Verse 2
You gotta replay it (replay it) 
 Come on &say it(say it) 
You can do it ( do it) 
Don't have to prove it
Unless you trying to improve for yourself
Damn the feelins of someone else
You have to be bold, be in control 
Of you, know the value of a coin 
You were priceless before you were born
So if someone doesn't say anything  nice
Know the one up above 
Payed the price
For my life and yours
He has so many great things in store

Chorus 
Never loose sight of your dreams 
You're not losing
Only winning (winning) 
God already knew(knew) 
From the beginning (beginning) 
In life you can choose or be chose
But don't live it based off what you were told
Repeat 1x

Bridge:I was told 
I was incapable of success
But I know God saw my best
(Repeat 1x) 

Chorus 
Never loose sight of your dreams 
You're not losing
Only winning (winning) 
God already knew(knew) 
From the beginning (beginning) 
In life you can choose or be chose
But don't live it based off what you were told
 
Repeat until chorus fades
