leave the past in the past

As I walk on down that long lonely road, Thinking 'bout my life, the seeds I sowed, Echoes of my past, whispers in the breeze, Lessons learned hard, brought me to my knees. Dreams of the city, where the lights never fade, Hustled through the struggle, every move I made, Reflections in the puddles, shadows of my soul, Searching for the truth, trying to feel whole. Choices that I made, now I ponder and taunt, Paths I could’ve taken, roads less traveled on, But I keep my head high, gotta carry on. Life's a game of chess, every step's a play, Strategize my moves, won’t let 'em lead me astray, So I walk with purpose, every step defined, In the heart of the struggle, I’m always on that grind Lessons learned in the dark, now I'm ready to fight. Echoes of the past, they whisper in my ear, Tales of the hustle, the blood, sweat, and tears. From the corners to the stages, I rise with the beat, Every bar I spit, you know I feel the heat. Dreams painted vivid, like murals on the wall, Resilience in my veins, I’ll never let it fall. With wisdom in my lyrics, I’m carving my lane, Navigating through the chaos, embracing the pain. Chasing after visions, I’m reaching for the stars, In a world full of limits, I’m breaking these bars. So I walk with purpose, my legacy defined, In the heart of the struggle, I’m still on my grind.
