When i was writing this album i really was in a dark place. 
Then i figured myself out, and i realized nothing is black and white. 
Everything is grey.

I felt like I had to make a choice. 

The metaphor behind 2 Roads is that there is no road. You create your own road and your own path. I think I was basing my perception off of other peoples opinions of right and wrong. 







Lyrics:

Pre Chorus:
What you wanna be when you grow up?, 
its a target on your back gotta keep it a buck.
Don't be afraid,
i remember i was your age, 
all i wanted to do is play on the game and try da rap like (uh).
Flintstone nigga and I'm back like (uh),
walkin' from na party and im smacked im drunk.
Car skrtin' off on the map mama told me either you gone be a bitch or you not gone duck.

Chorus:
(ayyy)
2 - 2 roads,
casket or billboard on Clio.
I still watch anime on my phone,
never had nothing so i want a lambo.
(ayyy)
2 - 2 roads,
get locked or achieve all my goals.
I got plan gotta get rid of friends that'll make holes,
cuz i never been a hood nigga but im from na hood nigga.

Verse:
Ow turn yo tv on its a black boy stuck,
living' in na land where they don't give a fuck,
mama working hard for my nikes look, 
staying in na house cuz its not safe out.
Movies, games and they all R-rated,
Friends getting high while I'm still debating,
will i be a mogul or famous enough,
or the man selling' dope out the ice cream truck.

Pre Chorus:
What you wanna be when you grow up?, 
its a target on your back gotta keep it a buck.
Don't be afraid,
i remember i was your age, 
all i wanted to do is play on the game and try da rap like (uh).
Flintstone nigga and I'm back like (uh),
walkin' from na party and im smacked im drunk.
Car skrtin' off on the map mama told me either you gone be a bitch or you not gone duck.

Chorus:
