Mary J. Blige - Destiny

People tell me my life was predestined.
From my life others shall learn a lesson.
Want a leader with the world on my shoulder
Age is young but my mind is much older.

Living up to everyone's expectations
condemned me to a world of damnation.
I gotta clear these voices from my head,
all these opinionated noises.

Listen to the voice of my creator,
opens doors to a path much greater;
on this path, the days draw nearer
when I can be happy, finally happy.

Searching for my destiny,
I search for what makes me happy,
lost in what others thought of me.
