All my life, I wanted to do good
Wanted to be good, wanted to feel free
Of a history that made me cry
And stumped my stride, so I changed my mind
I doubled down on believin' that the opinions of other people
Couldn't light my light, nor deter my sight
(Nor wrong my rights)
Nor guide my life, or delay my flight
I'm flyin' high now up above on the clarity of love
I only get what I put into it
I spend my sweet time where I deem fit
I got one life, I'ma let my glow show, baby, look at this
The embodiment of soul-glo, I admit
Paint my own pictures, gifts on gifts on gifts
Let the load lift, let the words shift
I ain't here to live in fear or just plain ole exist
I'ma go ahead and be great, why not?
I'ma go ahead and be great, why not?
What you listening to them for?
Born to soar, born to be more
Let them keep score if they need to
I'ma go ahead and be great, why not?
Ooh, this road be high and low, write honestly as I go
Ain't nothin' owed to me, far as I can see
Stay grateful and faithful for everything on my table
I goes high because I'm able
Fables of love, some say of me (Please)
I was there in entirety
Got hurt sometimes, child, that's the way it be
I won't give up on love and never on me (Never)
See, what I'm about to do is I'ma walk in this room and I'm gonna let them see God, Jehovah's will all over me
And there ain't nothin' they can do about it, baby
I'ma go ahead and be great, why not?
I'ma go ahead and be great, why not?
What you listening to them for?
Born to soar, born to be more
Let them keep score if they need to
I'ma-I'ma go ahead and be great, why not?
(Why not? Why not? Why not?)
I'ma go ahead and be great
I'ma-I'ma
