I used to stress about things I couldn't control
Builds relationships trying to fill this hole
Everybody pulling on me
Needing something from me
but nobody asking are you okay
You seem empty

Kill my circle full of people who was draining me
Stayed in drama that was paining me
all because I didn't want to lose nobody
But staying in chaos was slowly killing my body
My mind was racing, couldn't find no rest
Trying to fix everything myself, that's stress
I was drowning trying to hold it all together
till I realized I needed God, not to be more clever
And God showed me something different
Something money couldn't buy
something people couldn't give me
Peace that money can't provide

I choose peace
over everything
over the money
over the blame
over the drama
over the fame
Peace over everything
That's the game
I choose peace over everything
Over toxic love
over the flame
over proving I'm right
over the fight
Peace over everything.
I sleep at night

I walked away from relationships that cost my sanity
Cut off people I love because they was damaging me
Turn down opportunities that look good on paper
cuz God said that ain't for you
I listen to my Maker
They said I'm crazy for leaving money on the table
But what's a full bank account if your mind unstable
What's success if you can't sleep at night
What's winning if you're losing your peace in a fight
Philippians 4:7
It's my reminder
Peace that surpasses understanding
Nothing finer
God's peace guards my heart and my mind
That's the treasure I've been trying to find
Show me something different
Something the world don't know
Something only he can give me
Peace that helps me grow

I choose peace
over everything
over the money
over the blame
over the drama
over the fame
Peace over everything
That's the game
I choose peace over everything
Over toxic love
over the flame
over proving I'm right
over the fight
Peace over everything.
I sleep at night

You can have the whole world and still be empty inside
You can have nothing but peace and feel alive
I'm not saying don't chase your dreams
I'm saying make sure God's peace is in everything
Cuz when the money gone
when the fame done
when the people leave
when you standing alone
will you have peace
Will you be okay
Or will you fall apart
Cuz peace wasn't in the place
I'm building my life on something silent now
Not on people's opinions or my bank account
Not on relationships or my career status
I'm building on the piece that only God can give us
So yeah
I choose peace over the chaos
over the noise
over the fake applause
over fitting in over the crowd
I choose God's peace
And I'm saying it loud


I choose peace
over everything
over the money
over the it all
over the drama (all of it)
over the fame (all of it)
Peace over everything (That's my choice)
I choose peace over everything
Over toxic love
over the flame (Over the fire)
over proving I'm right
over the fight (No more fight)
Peace over everything
I choose peace over everything
That's my priority
Peace over everything
That's my testimony
I choose peace
Over everything
