Down These Roads

Cars are passing by, the sky is filled with black clouds I'm walking through the storm but I won't back down There's no lights to show the signs so I've got to find my own hope I may make a few wrong turns, but I'll find my way as I walk down these roads Scarred, Muddy and hurt but I won't cry about it One of my wings are broken, but I'll manage to fly without it Some people limit themselves, but I'd rather inspire myself Once you get self-belief you no longer require help I feel like half of this generation could do with having someone humbling their egos I grew up on Wu Tang Clan so you can keep your Migos Hip-Hop gave me strength and belief when I didn't have any It helped to ease the weight of the world when it was heavy I haven't always been strong, there's been things I cried tears over Sometimes I had to drink a lot because I couldn't get through the nightmare sober I just checked my phone and the ex I don't want back is still calling I guess I made more of an impact than when the drums hit during "In the air" by Phil Collins But I feel bad, because I'm being ignored by the girl I'm in love with Maybe you've got to be treated bad by someone to prove that's someone you won't be good with Maybe it's my karma or just a learning curve Whatever it is, it's leaving my heart with a burning hurt Depression torments and taunts me Trying to think positive and not let my past haunt me If these bad times didn't happen then good times wouldn't exist I've made it through a lot worse so I know I can make it through this The daylight is coming and erasing the black clouds I've got more good times to come because I haven't backed down It may have taken a while but I've finally found my hope I no longer have any fear as I walk down these roads
