i'm looking over my shoulder thinking I've been here
I've taking so many roads i feel i'm going nowhere
the paths i'm on seem to be leading me astray
and i'm just wondering if i can get a place to stay
somewhere i can lay my head and just take a rest
and sit for a minute just so i can catch my breath
i'm feeling like superman but i need to stop
i can't take this always working around the clock
'cause this life is going by in a quick flash
but i can't move forward while i'm looking out the glass
they're telling me a show is going down
but when i jump on the stage i don't hear a sound
i wanna go down a new road and just look back
and reminisce on it when i record a new track
but when i look at the location i feel old
cause i feel i'm just traveling down the same old road
Hook
No matter what i try i feel like i'm gonna cry
while i sit down and i find you
but it dosesn't make sense cause with you
i'm sitting on the fence as we walk down the same road
it's all fun and smiles until real life hits you hard
and you're looking in the mirror and you're feeling scared
but i always look at life from a distance
knowing i'm still standing i'm not asking for forgiveness
i look at other rappers who all wanna be pac
annoyed with all the imitators in the world of hip-hop
so i laid the foundation for my own sound
and kept my head high and held my own ground
The road i went down was a place that was unique
i didn't mind trusting my heart and my feet
i felt like i was falling and you were holdin' my hand
and now i'm looking around and no one understands
the path was clear but now it's looking familiar
i see your face and i almost wanna kill ya
when i look at you i know that chapter has been told
and i know that i'm traveling down the same old road
Hook
No matter what i try i feel like i'm gonna cry
while i sit down and i find you
but it dosesn't make sense cause with you
i'm sitting on the fence as we walk down the same road
reality finally sets in and i'm feeling the strain
i gotta keep moving forward and endure all the pain
i don't need everyone tell me what i need to do
cause the choice is clear and i know what's really true
my life was full of obstacles i tired to overcome
while others were walking i knew that i had to run
the same road was always creeping up from behind
it was always there and i felt like i lost my mind
as i was going forward looking for a new path
it never seemed new it felt like the same old draft
the same old thing was always on my mind
until i looked up and i finally saw the sunshine
i was searching and looked for the underdogg within
who told me that it was finally time to begin
So now i can close this book cause it's been foretold
they would know my name when i walked down the same road
Hook
No matter what i try i feel like i'm gonna cry
while i sit down and i find you
but it doesn't make sense cause with you
i'm sitting on the fence as we walk down the same road
