Road to Sunrise

Yeah…

They don’t know the road I walked… They just see where I’m

standing now.

{gentle

Rhodes piano chords,

slow warm 808 slides,

quiet vinyl static}

Came from a place where I had to learn to survive,

Carrying pain but I still kept my dream alive.

Had some dark days,

had to fight through the rain,

Lost some people, but I grew from the pain.

Moved away with a heart full of reasons,

Trying to make something better out of every season.

For the ones I love,

I was willing to change lanes,

Even when life tested me,

I stayed in my lane.

They don’t see the nights when I questioned my purpose,

They don’t see the battles behind the surface.

Still showing up when the road got tough,

Still believing in myself when it wasn’t enough.

{crisp trap drums

enter, snapping snare, rhythmic 808 sub} I’m still standing,

yeah, I’m still here,

Made it through the moments I was fighting my fears.

They counted me out,

but I never lost faith,

Every scar on my body got a story to say.

I been through the struggle,

I been through the pain,

But I know every storm can’t last forever,

man. I’m building my future,

I’m chasing my dreams,

Nobody can take away what’s inside of me.

(ooh, yeah) {soaring cinematic pads,

melodic backing vocals, driving trap groove} Had to learn peace is worth

more than attention, Not everybody around you got the right intentions.

I gave my heart,

I gave everything I had,

But those lessons made me stronger from the things that were bad.

Now I’m creating something bigger than me,

Putting my name on a vision that they can see.

Carnell Academy, that’s more than a name,

It’s proof that you can rebuild after going through pain.

Some days were heavy,

but I carried the weight,

Still thankful I woke up because that’s another day.

I don’t need revenge,

I just need elevation,

I’m focused on growth and a better destination.

{steady trap beat, rolling hi-hats,

melodic keys} This is for anybody who feels left behind,

Keep pushing forward, your moment will shine.

Your story ain’t finished,

you still got a page,

Sometimes the biggest victories come after the hardest days.

{drums fade out, solo emotional piano,

cinematic

strings swell}
