[English]

I ain't like no one you met before

I'm running for the front

When they're all running for the door

And I won't sit down

Won't back out

You can't ever shut me up, 'cause

I'm on a mission and I won't quit now

In a world full of followers, I'll be a leader

In a world full of doubters, I'll be a believer

I'm stepping out without a hesitation

Because the battle's already been won

I'm sold out

I'm no longer living just for myself

Running after Jesus with my whole heart

And now I'm ready to show

I am sold out

I'm sold out

With every single step that I take now

With every drop of blood left in my veins I'm

Gonna be making it count

I am sold out

This ain't just some temporary phase

You can't face this kind of grace

And leave the way you came

This is permanent with intent

And there won't be no stoppin' it now

I'm on a mission and it's heaven-sent

In a world full of followers, I'll be a leader

In a world full of doubters, I'll be a believer

I'm stepping out without a hesitation

'Cause my soul is like a stadium

And I'm sold out

I'm no longer living just for myself

Running after Jesus with my whole heart

And now I'm ready to show

I am sold out

I'm sold out

With every single step that I take now

With every drop of blood left in my veins I'm

Gonna be making it count

I am sold out

No trials coming against me

Can put a dent in my passion

They're just an opportunity

To put my faith into action

In a world full of followers, I'll be a leader

In a world full of doubters, I'll be a believer

I'm stepping out without a hesitation

I ain't got nothing left to be afraid of

I'm sold out

I'm no longer living just for myself

Running after Jesus with my whole heart

And now I'm ready to show

I am sold out

I'm sold out

With every single step that I take now

With every drop of blood left in my veins I'm

Gonna be making it count

I am sold out

Key Grammar Structures

• I ain't like no one you met before

  ➔ Contraction (ain't), comparative adjective (like) + relative pronoun (who/that)

  ➔ Uses the informal contraction "ain't" instead of "am not/is not/are not". Uses "like" in a comparative sense, comparing the speaker to "no one" they've met. Implies a missing relative pronoun such as "who" or "that" after "one".

• I'm running for the front

  ➔ Present continuous tense, prepositional phrase of movement.

  ➔ Uses the present continuous tense "'m running" to describe an action happening now, and the prepositional phrase "for the front" indicates the direction of movement.

• And I won't sit down

  ➔ Modal verb (won't) + base verb (sit)

  ➔ Uses the modal verb "won't" (will not) to express a refusal or a strong intention, followed by the base form of the verb "sit".

• I'm on a mission and I won't quit now

  ➔ Present continuous (I'm on) + conjunction (and) + modal verb (won't)

  ➔ Combines the present continuous tense ("I'm on a mission") with the conjunction "and" and the modal verb "won't" to express a continuing state and determination.

• In a world full of followers, I'll be a leader

  ➔ Prepositional phrase (In a world), future tense (I'll be), article (a).

  ➔ Uses a prepositional phrase to set the scene. "I'll be" utilizes the future tense, and "a" is the indefinite article before the noun "leader".

• I'm no longer living just for myself

  ➔ Present continuous tense, adverb of time (no longer), prepositional phrase (for myself).

  ➔ Employs the present continuous tense ("I'm living") modified by the adverb "no longer" to indicate a change, and "for myself" is a prepositional phrase.

• With every single step that I take now

  ➔ Prepositional phrase (with), adjective (single), relative clause (that I take)

  ➔ Uses a prepositional phrase to describe the action. The adjective "single" emphasizes each step. The relative clause "that I take" modifies "step".

• They're just an opportunity

  ➔ Contraction (they're), linking verb (are), indefinite article (an)

  ➔ Uses the contraction "they're" (they are), with "are" as a linking verb connecting the subject to the complement "an opportunity". The indefinite article "an" is used.
