[Verse 1]
Bars on my window, dreams in a cage,
Concrete pillow, slept on mistakes, a page
Of my life torn, tattooed with regret,
Did dirt, no seeds, just a garden of debt.
Saw the light through the cracks in the stone,
Chain-link fences can't hold the unknown.
Time carved lessons, scars turned to maps,
Each line a reminder of paths I collapsed.
[Chorus] (Female Vocals)
Don’t walk the road I paved, it’s broken, it’s cracked,
A highway to nowhere, ain't no coming back.
Listen to my story, take another track,
Paths not taken—ain't no shame in that.
[Verse 2]
Hustled in the dark, now I’m tryna light flames,
Was a player in the system, but I’m done with the game.
Young bloods watching, they see the chains gleam,
Not the weight they carry, or the shattered dreams.
My past is a warning, not a badge to flex,
A chessboard life, played pawns, not the best.
Kings fall too, rooks turn to dust,
But redemption ain't fiction, believe in the trust.
[Chorus] (Female Vocals)
Don’t walk the road I paved, it’s broken, it’s cracked,
A highway to nowhere, ain't no coming back.
Listen to my story, take another track,
Paths not taken—ain't no shame in that.
