Flesh That No One Chose lyrics

I was born into this skin before I chose to be born I was born into this body that the world decided to interpret Before I could speak, they had already labeled me Before I could walk, they already knew my path was mapped out They gave me a script along with my name A way of being that already came with my last name But the body isn't destiny it's just the starting point What I do with it is what decides my life I didn't choose the flesh I chose what it carries I didn't choose the ruler, but I choose how I live Circumstances aren't a sentence they're the ground I walk on My body is history, but I write what hasn't been written yet Flesh that no one chose but the story is mine Flesh that no one chose I'm the one who charts the course I am not just what they gave me I am what I do with what they gave me They wanted to fit me into a ready-made form A plaster mold where difference doesn't count But every body carries a silent war Between what they imposed and what we dare to do Circumstances don't erase choice they're the material All freedom is born from uneven ground I ask no forgiveness for occupying this space My body is territory, and I decide its path I didn't choose this flesh, I chose what it carries I didn't choose the ruler, but I choose how I resist Circumstances aren't a sentence they're the ground I walk on My body is history, but I write what hasn't been written yet Flesh that no one chose but the story is mine Flesh that no one chose I'm the one who charts the course I'm not just what they gave me I'm what I do with what they gave me This body Is a battlefield And I Am the one who decides the war You look at my skin and think you already know everything But the surface doesn't reveal what lies inside, deep down I'm not a victim of what I was born with I'm the author of the answer even with an adverse script Flesh that no one chose but the story is mine Flesh that no one chose I'm the one who charts the course I'm not just what they gave me I am what I make of what they gave me The flesh is the starting point
