I was so scared

I remember when I was there, echos carried truths I couldn't bare, I was real scared, no one cared, so I got prepared, for that life of do or dare.

"These are the things that come to mind when I pass through there."

Couldn't live like that, thinking Im all that, caught in the chat, led me to spats. Then they wonder how I knocked um out flat, pretty and all that, I wear many hats. Living in tranquility it's where its at.

360 [zero] I have changed my life, became my own hero. This is how I roll, Wanna hang out, just know I can no longer live like that.

"I remember when I was there, I was so scared, no one cared, I did what I had to do and got prepared."

This is how I roll, if you wanna hang out. Just know I can no longer live like that, thinking Im all that, caught in the chat, leading me to spats. It was really scary there oh I'm glad I got prepared. And just went I thought and no one cared I remembered that I cared.

I remember when I was there I was caught so unprepared of these all the things that come to my mind when I pass through there. I'm so thankful that I'm here and no longer there.

I remember when I walk down this street things looked really bad really really bleak. Here I am once again, re living that memory, dealing with all that inner rivalry, it's a part of life and just has to be but, I won't stay stuck in this memory.

This is how I roll if you wanna dare

Step out of shadowand breath fresh air

No longer chained to the weight of despair

I found my light yeah it was always there.

Chours

Gone are the days I was lost in the noise

Tangled in chatter confused by the voice

Now I walk tall I've made my own choice

Breaking the patterns regaining my poise

Thought I was something all puffed-up and loud

But it led to spats too trapped in the crowd

The mirror stared at a man feeling cowed

Swear I'm unshackled I'm flying unbowed

Gone are the days I was lost in the noise

Tangled in chatter confused by the voice

Now I walk tall I've made my own

Living in the streets of the city I roam.

I see the road I once had walked so bare

The echoes whisper truths I couldn't bear

Shadows lurking under streetlights glare

But I’ve found a way to breathe new air

Here again I feel the ache and sting

But I won't let despair clip my wings

Living proof that I can rise and sing

Left the darkness let light in to cling

The weight of footsteps heavy on my soul

The fight to climb out of this deep black hole

But now the sky is painted whole

With brighter hues that make me whole

The scars are etched I wear them proud

They scream my name yet no longer loud

I walk the path no longer cowed

With head held high among the crowd

Here again I feel the ache and sting

But I won’t let despair clip my wings

Living proof that I can rise and sing

Left the darkness let light in to cling
