For the boys them o'
I control my destiny
Ooh wee, aah we, oh
I control my destiny

Lately, I've been in my shift
I've been thinking deep
I've been looking at my walls and wailing (Wailing)
Oh lately, I cannot trust anybody (Body)
But everyone gon' betray me
Now every day and I focus on God o'

Oh lately, I been fighting my demons
I been waiting for King Kong
To come to my rescue but he don't
Know what I been through
Lately, papa, they had me cry
Papa, they see me through
A pool of the thick despair, aweh

Oh, I'm praying, praying
Telling Papa God to save me
'Cause the struggle I dey call it (Call it, call it)
Now I'm connected
Connected to those (Those) people with the dey o doubt (O)
When I know how it goes

Yeah, running from my past 'cause it's ugly
Everyone happy besides me
How can I go big when demons in my dreams?
Prayed for this life, but it's not what it seems
You don't know the half where I came from
Scrapped from the bottom, right out of the slums
You don't even know where my life begun
I'm losing connection
I was getting bills, nobody came for me (Nobody came for me)
Calling on the phone I got their answering
machines (I got their answering machines)
Alone in my room, I had to cry (I had to cry)
Eight years old, I had to learn to survive
So many times I wanted to quit, I had to try
The ones I love the most, they all went and died on me
I was puttin' on first when they
had time for me (They had time)

Oh, oh (Yeah)
lately I been in my feelings (I been in my feelings)
I ain't been focused on me (On me)
Handling my demons with God (Handle them with God)
Oh, lately, I, I been forgiving (I been forgiving)
But that don't mean that I been healing (I haven't)
My choices control where I'm living (Damn)

Oh (Oh) , I'm praying (I'm praying) , praying (I'm praying)
Telling Papa God to save me (Save me)
'Cause the struggle I dey call it (Call it, call it)
Now I'm connected
Connected to those (Those, yeah)
people with the dey o doubt (O)
When I know how it goes
(I know how it goes, I know how it goes)

Daddy, daddy, daddy
Save me
Oh, oh
Save me
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Save me
Oh, oh
Save me
Save me
Save me
I control my destiny
I control my destiny
