C.J.Bolland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you can't understand
How a man like me who had so much drama
Can have so much peace
It's because something inside of me
Was awaken from the slumber I took a look at my life
And had to see everything from a different perspective
And realize that my life was meant for more
Than my earthly eyes could see
So I had to take control of my destiny
And walk in the purpose that was meant for me
That includes my spiritual walk my career my soulmate
Manifest it all back to me
And to the haters it's for you too
Like you did me I'm not going to disrespect you
But walk with integrity
Allow my life to lead by example yeah
(We can go there) I am confident so strong
I am beautiful it's not wrong
That I'm successful not stressful as I bring you this song
(We can go there) I am worthy of her love
I am focused and determined can't bring me down I'm that tough
Yeah my walk has been so rough
(We can go there) I am confident so strong
I am beautiful it's not wrong
That I'm sexy it's perplexing to the haters that came along
(We can go there) They cannot bring me down
No matter how hard they try
Can no weapon formed against me
Shall prevail anytime so we can go there
Believe me when I tell you that you have so much power
Just tap into it
And change your view on things and live in the know
And draw yourself to it
And watch your life change
In a greater way than you ever dreamed of
Even conceived of
But don't go let anyone have their way and kill your dream love
But your new life comes at cost
Of your old life now are you ready boss
Trust me you are not soft
You are breaking those barriers down
And your life will never be the same
But don't be afraid to meditate and pray
To keep yourself grounded and centered
And keep the faith and all hate is returned to sender
I am confident so strong
I am beautiful it's not wrong
That I'm successful not stressful as I bring you this song
(We can go there) I am worthy of her love
I am focused and determined can't bring me down I'm that tough
Yeah my walk has been so rough
(We can go there) I am confident so strong
I am beautiful it's not wrong
That I'm sexy it's perplexing to the haters that came along
(We can go there) They cannot bring me down
No matter how hard they try
Can no weapon formed against me
Shall prevail anytime so we can go there
(We can go there) I am confident so strong
I am beautiful it's not wrong
That I'm successful not stressful as I bring you this song
(We can go there) I am worthy of her love
I am focused and determined can't bring me down I'm that tough
Yeah my walk has been so rough
(We can go there) I am confident so strong
I am beautiful it's not wrong
That I'm sexy it's perplexing to the haters that came along
