Shawn E - The Road Lyrics

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, aye just going down the road
Just going down the road, road
Yeah
Hi world, haven't seen you in a while Yeah, yeah
Ayo, plans get switched when your life gets bad
I sit back and think and I might get sad
Like what am I do where am I to go
I'll answer it myself to be honest I don't know
Traveling the road, feeling like a battle for the soul
And i know that the damage of it shows
But i gotta keep it moving like the rest of us
They say I'm blessed I'm depressed as f*ck, yup
Yo everyone I know is settling down
I just started looking up I had my head to the ground but then I
Yo, I looked right up and what I see
Everything I never wanted right in front of me, yeah
Now i'm back tryna figure it out
I had it mapped guess I gotta take a different route
A nightmare I've been living it out
Tryna get it all together before I'm drifting about and that's that like
Said really I was lost
Looking for a place I could try to cut across
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
Said I was on the ground
Lying on my face
Looking for the time I've been trying to replace
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Ayo, life done switched up I ain't tryna trip but
When I take a look in the mirror I really think what
Yo who is that guy used to the rap guy
Now I'm Mr. Fake Smile with the black eyes
I got demons and I don't think that they letting up
Yo all the time I spent alone I was getting drunk
Living with my own regret
I'm tryna black it out but I know I won't forget but still I tried
But yo really I was wasting away
Waking up and doing nothing what a waste of a day
Aye, I didn't think that I would make it but hey
Go on and gimme the mic and I'm a take it away okay
And maybe that'll be the trick
I'll prove it to myself that I'm actually the pick
I said it to the world I was saying as a kid
I don't wanna say I could have man I wanna say I did thats a fact yeah
Said really I was lost
Looking for a place I could try to cut across
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
Said I was on the ground
Lying on my face
Looking for the time I've been trying to replace
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Yo, I got comfortable and let a bunch of time slip
Looked for a message in a bottle I ain't find shit
Yo I just ended up floating around
I cut my life vest off and I hoped I would drown
But yo, that ain't happen yet
I walk around with the rapid breath
Looking for the break that I have to catch
Will I find that I don't know
But if I stay here I don't grow
Gotta go whoa
Yo, said father time's been approaching me
He's telling me that I ain't end up where I'm supposed to be
Said all the dreams that I had when I was young
They don't have to be it's something I can actually become
Yeah, so now i'm reaping what I sow
I'm packing up my things and I'm leaving down the road
I did it once before now I'm gonna try again
Gotta take a little chance just to figure who I am I don't know but like
Said really I was lost
Looking for a place I could try to cut across
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
So I'm going down the road
Said I was on the ground
Lying on my face
Looking for the time I've been trying to replace
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
Now I'm going down the road
