Crossroads

Two roads meet where the dust runs high
One's paved in gold, one's paved in pride
City lights call, but the backroads whisper
Ghosts of my past tellin' me, Boy, remember

Mama said, Son, don't forget where you're from
But I been chasin' dreams, I been on the run
Every mile got weight, every step got cost
Now I'm standin' at the line, wonderin' what I lost

Ohhh, which way do I go
One way's fire, one way's cold
I hear the voices, I hear the wind
Tellin' me I can't come back again

Crossroads burn, sky turns gray
One path leads, one fades away
Can't turn back, can't stand still
Only way out is the one I build

Yeah, I been torn 'tween a dream and a home
Spent too many nights feelin' lost and alone
One hand on the past, one hand on fate
Can't carry both if I want that gate

Tires spinnin', heart still heavy
Memories pull but my mind stay ready
Can't build a future with a foot in the past
Ain't no bridges left, just dust and ash

Voices whisper, tryna pull me back
Sayin' Boy, don't forget where you started at.
But I ain't meant to fade, I was built to shine
Gotta chase that road before I run outta time

Lights up ahead, but the night's still callin'
Step too slow and the sky starts fallin'
One road waits, one road fades
Ain't no turnin' back when the choice gets made

Mmm... gotta choose, gotta move...
Ain't no runnin' when the past finds you...

Ain't no lookin' back, I step through the dust
Took my pain, turned it all into trust
One way's gone, one way's mine
Ain't no chains when you cut that line

Feet in the gravel, fire in my chest
Every wrong turn led me straight to the test
Shadow in the rearview, echoes in the air
But I don't slow down, I don't stop, I don't care

Road signs flicker, wind screams loud
Storm on my left, golden gates in the clouds
Hands on the wheel, grip tight, don't sway
This is my road, I choose my way

Dirt in my veins but my mind set high
Never meant to break, I was built to rise
One step forward, leave the past behind
Ain't no more crossroads, only my time

Road stretched wide, no fear in my chest
Every scar, every mile led me straight to the test
Left my past like dust in the rearview light
Ain't no shadows strong enough to pull me tonight

Took the long way, but I stand here tall
Ain't no chains, no weight, no fear at all
Crossed that line, left the doubt behind
Ain't no more crossroads, this path is mine

Wind still howlin', storm still fades
Sky cracks open, gold lights the way
Tires hit pavement, dust kicks high
I ain't lost-I was born to rise
