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
