two roads
Cam Meekins Lyrics

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
I was faced with a decision and I had two options before me.

And sorry I could not travel both
I regretted that I couldn't choose both paths, I had to pick just one.

And be one traveler, long I stood
I stood there for quite some time trying to decide which path to take.

And looked down one as far as I could
I tried to take a good look at one of the paths to see where it led.

To where it bent in the undergrowth;
I saw the path leading into the forest and it seemed like the path would be challenging and uncertain.

Then took the other, as just as fair
I chose the other path, it looked just as promising.

And having perhaps the better claim
This path seemed like it had a better chance of leading towards success.

Because it was grassy and wanted wear
This path looked less traveled, as if it hadn't been explored as much, which intrigued me.

Though as for that the passing there
However, as far as I could tell both paths seemed to have been used equally by others.

Had worn them really about the same
Both paths had signs of use and wear, and there wasn't a clear set path that was more worn out than the other.

And both that morning equally lay
Both paths seemed equal and it was hard to make a choice.

In leaves no step had trodden black
There were no signs of any recent travelers on either path.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!
I decided to leave the first path alone and take the second path, but I made mental note of the first path to explore it some other time.

Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I knew that every decision leads to another decision and this one was no different.

I doubted if I should ever come back
I wasn't sure if I would ever come back to that area to explore the other path, things change and life goes on.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
I knew that this decision would be significant and that I would talk about it for years to come.

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
This memory will last for a long time, and I will always remember this decision.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I was at a crossroads in my life and faced with a difficult decision.

I took the one less traveled by
I chose the path that wasn't as popular or well-worn as the other path, this path seemed more unique and interesting.

And that has made all the difference
Choosing the less popular path allowed me to have unique experiences and create my own path in life.

I'm not the man you expect me to be
I'm not what people expect me to be, I'm unique and different than what people might assume.

I'm not the man that smokes the most amount of weed
I don't conform to stereotypes, I'm not the type of person that people assume I am.

I'm not the man who's always hanging with a bitch
I don't follow the crowd, I don't always hang out with the same type of people.

I'm not the man who's got five damn kids
I don't fit into a specific mold or expectation, I'm different and unique in my own way.

I'm not Mac Miller and I'm not Asher Roth
I don't fit into any specific genre or category, I'm my own person.

I'm not Eminem I'm not Aesop Rock
I'm not trying to copy anyone else, I'm unique and original in my own right.

I'm not jaded and I'm not full of myself
I'm not overly confident or arrogant, I'm just comfortable with who I am.

I'm not perfect and I'm not in need of help
I'm not perfect, but I don't need anyone's help to be who I am.

I'm not apposed to going out at night
I'm open to trying new things and going out to experience the world.

I'm not the one to instigate the party
I don't feel the need to be the center of attention or the life of the party.

I'm not the guy who's getting hammered in the back
I'm not the type of person who gets drunk and out of control.

I'm not the guy who's always tryna get naughty
I don't always have ulterior motives or expect something from other people.

I'm not the guy the ladies talked about until now
I'm not the type of guy that women gossip about or have preconceived notions of.

I'm not the guy who's always switching up his style
I don't conform to trends or try to fit in, I stay true to myself.

I'm not the guy who sold his soul for a record deal
I don't compromise my values or change who I am for personal gain or success.

And I'm not comfortable with letting you know how I feel
I don't feel the need to share everything about myself, I keep some things private.

I don't need your expectations
I don't need anyone to have certain expectations for me, I'm comfortable with who I am.

I'm a do just what I do
I'm going to continue being myself and doing what I do, regardless of what others think.

If you keep talking shit I might have to
If people continue to talk badly about me or criticize me unfairly, I might have to respond.

Write this song
This song might be my way of responding to all of the criticism and expectations that people have for me.

If you wanna call me something
If people want to label me or put me in a certain category, they're going to do that regardless of how I feel.

Label me whatever you want
People can call me whatever they want, but that doesn't define who I am.

I know when I get home to my mirror
At the end of the day, the only person who truly knows who I am is myself.

I know what I'm not
I may not know exactly who I am, but I know who I'm not and that's just as important.
