[Intro]
Human beings are magical creatures
We can see what doesn't exist and choose to rise above what is (Hmm)
Unlike any other, humans can feel without having to have actually felt
We can share each other's pain or joy
One might use such a power to destroy
Rather than to build up or support
[Verse 1]
Lately I've been feeling
(Somethin' gotta change and I'm)
Tempted to get even
(Find someone to blame, but I)
Don't gotta go that low
Keepin' it, keepin' it in control (Control)
Got me at my weakest, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
I (I, I)
Comin' back, I'm gonna take what's mine
'Cause nobody else gonna save my life
Seein' so clear with my own two eyes
My eyes
[Chorus]
I'm not broken, I'm still goin'
Goin' up, up, up, up, up, up, up, I'll show 'em
I'm not broken, I'm still goin'
Oh, didn't you know I'll be my own redemption? (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
No manipulation
(I ain't gonna buy it again)
So over all the fakin', oh no
(Searchin' for the real thing)
I ain't got the energy
Why you be, why you be testin' me?
Ooh, now I'm outta patience (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I (I, I)
Comin' back, I'm gonna take what's mine
'Cause nobody else gonna save my life
Seein' so clear with my own two eyes
My eyes
[Chorus]
I'm not broken, I'm still goin'
Goin' up, up, up, up, up, up, up, I'll show 'em
I'm not broken, I'm still goin'
Oh, didn't you know I'll be my own redemption? (Yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be (Redemption)
My own (My own redemption)
My own
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be (Redemption)
I'll be my own (Redemption)
Redemption, oh
[Chorus]
I'm not broken, I'm still goin'
Goin' up, up, up, up, up, up, up, I'll show 'em
I'm not broken, I'm still goin' (No)
Oh, didn't you know I'll be my own redemption?
[Outro]
Oh, didn't you know? (Ayy)
Oh, I'll be my own redemption
Oh, didn't you know?
Didn't you know I'll be my own redemption?
