Different Road

Shivers running

Deep down my bones

I never wanted more

Than what I deserve

Now is my time

I gotta go, no slow, yeah

Mama stayed up

And worked all night

I'm grateful

But this life was never kind

We didn't break

We didn't lose our light

No lie, no

I'm pullin' up while

They keep tryin' to break me

They think it's easy

Well the gold it ain't free

Hide in a comfort zone

But wanna be kings

I'm done with the world

I don't pick up the phone

I stay, I stay, I

Walk down a different road

I don't trust anyone

I stay, I stay, I

I think about the times

When I felt so alone

Empty pockets

But I held the fire in my soul

Single mom

Gave her life

So I could have my own

You held the tears away

A pain you'd never let me know

This is for the nights

When we prayed to survive

This is for your battles

Just to keep us alive

Imma make a way you

Know my word is set stone

I promise I will

Turn your pain into gold

I'm done with the world

I don't pick up the phone

I stay, I stay, I

I walk down a different road

I don't trust anyone

I stay, I stay
