Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

I was up late, hoodie on, staring at the cracked phone screen

Bills on the table, and the fridge door don't look clean

Mama said, "Keep moving," so I kept my feet in line

Even when the hallway felt longer than my patience and my pride

Had a lot of bad calls, had a few doors slammed

Had to learn the hard way you can't rush the plan

This journey is a long road but it taught me how to stand tall

I didn't find my way yet, I'm still lost in the sauce

So I'm still here, same heart, rough edges

Still picking through the mess, still making these pledges

If the road goes black, I won't turn back

I just keep that pulse in my chest and I step through that

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get, to get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Cold brew, early queue, out before the sun's due

Same route, same pursuit, but I found my own groove

Dodged the idle chatter, shattered every false clue

Cut the dead weight, made my own way, saw it through

Every bruise, every choice, a lesson to collect

Took the hits, the bits, built a stronger me through the wreck

Now I don't chase the bright, I chase the right move

Keep my head in the fray to find a lane to prove

If the gate stays shut, I'll pick the lock and break it through

If the air gets cold, I hold a fire, it's true

I'm not built for the easy, I'm built for breakthrough

Keep pushing past the past till I see my path shine through

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get, to get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

I seen the cracks in me, I stopped pretending they were gone

Sat with the silence till I knew to move on

Every detour don't mean you took a wrong turn

Some roads just teach you where the real lessons burn

So I breathe in, let it hit, let the doubt move past

If the whole room goes dim, I can still make it last

One step, then the next, till the edges start to fade

I don't need perfect, I just need a way

And if my voice shakes now, let it shake, I'm still here

If the sky don't split open, I'll be the one who clears

Hands up, chest high, I can feel the change in motion

Every scar got a pulse, every bruise is a warning

Now the kick starts climbing and the whole room knows

I been walking out the dark with a little more glow

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get, to get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right

Sometimes you gotta walk through the darkness

To get to the light

Sometimes you gotta go through the wrong shit

To get things right
