The point that the artist is trying to convey is...

One is destined to a certain narrative, impossible to alter.

The mistake is to take without giving

So, break the tradition

Make a decision, cause no matter how hard you try
One must take action and choose, even if success seems unattainable.

You're still in prison

If ya born with wings and you never fly

Listen, you don't stop

Zip up your front all ya want
Ignore your true feelings and issues as much as needed.

But there's a heart in every seed
But it's important to remember that each person has a heart underneath their outward appearance.

And I love that stuff
Once again, the singer enjoys hard work or difficult situations.
