The chorus reads:

"Destiny, can’t touch my Destiny
Them are try everything
Them are try take me life
But I won’t let them get the best of me,
Destiny, can’t touch my Destiny
They can take everything I have
They can take my life
They can’t touch my destiny"

Perhaps, the song was featured in the playlist considering the unique circumstances surrounding Biden’s emergence as the next US president.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the award-winning singer was slammed by popular Ghanaian artiste Shatta Wale.
