From the recording Dust to Crown: Chapter I - The Hero's Journey
Crossroads reframes Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken as reflective storytelling hip‑hop set at an urban fork in the road. Soulful keys and steady drums follow the moment you walk away from the safe, crowded path to choose the less traveled one that will rewrite your life and legacy.
Lyrics
"Crossroads:
At the break of day, two paths in sight
Streetlights flicker, eyes on the right
Concrete jungle, dreams in my hand
Can’t see the ending, I just make my stand
Choices in shadows, doubts in my head
One way familiar, the other unsaid
History written in the steps I take
No map for tomorrow, I’m wide awake
Every moment, gotta choose
Which road holds the next breakthrough
Unwritten stories, heart beats bold
Can’t go back once the tale unfolds
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
Had to choose, didn’t know if I could
I walked away from the crowd and the noise
Found my purpose where I lost my voice
Crossroads, decisions define
I took the one less traveled by, made it mine
Now every step’s a new design
Crossroads, my legacy outlined
Footsteps echo where the brave ones go
No shortcuts, pain helps me grow
Chasing dreams past fear and fate
Which door opens, which one waits?
Searching for meaning in a world of speed
Refused the easy, chased the need
Mistakes and lessons, losses and wins
I’m moving forward, let the journey begin
Every moment, gotta choose
Which road holds the next breakthrough
Unwritten stories, heart beats bold
Can’t go back once the tale unfolds
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
Had to choose, didn’t know if I could
I walked away from the crowd and the noise
Found my purpose where I lost my voice
Crossroads, decisions define
I took the one less traveled by, made it mine
Now every step’s a new design
Crossroads, my legacy outlined
Let regrets run with the midnight rain
Strength in my struggle, wisdom in pain
No looking back, I carve my way
Crossroads light the break of day
Two roads diverged, I made my choice
Found my freedom; reclaimed my voice
I took the path they told me to deny
It changed my world, less traveled, but I rise"
