fork in the road - memento (artist) lyrics

[verse 1: memento]
let’s take a trip way back in time
the summer of 2005
my mother bought me a cd
i bumped only bobd
my cousin told me ‘bout lp
been hearing a lot of good things
after i got meteora
that’s when i discovered my dream
i’d never felt so inspired
bought tickets to see fort minor
shinoda walked out on that stage
the fillmore blew up as he played
i wanted to be like that
bought a hoodie and a dc hat
but i didn’t really get into rap
i thought that being in a band was my thing and my path
fast forward ten years and i’m leading my band
two ep’s and a single we landed some
coverage on blogs, “cloud nine” dropped
lyrically sound like we made it on top
but listen i hate to admit it but i was still
dreaming by saying i did it
the words in “cloud nine” were fictionalized
except for the line “i try hundred times”
now that was the past, the band didn’t last
the dream didn’t die, i’m just changing my path
changing my sound and changing my style
jumping headfirst in a game full of fire
people keep asking me “are you insane?”
trust me, i’m asking myself every day
quitting my job and i’m following my dream?
but trust me, i wouldn’t have it no other way

[verse 2: memento]
i’m really going to risk it all when i’m at a
point where the choice is all or nothing
really going to drop the ball on my job and
follow my calling, be somebody
made up my mind, i’ma write all my life
working and writing so don’t k!ll my vibe and i’m
living the life that i dreamed as a kid, ‘cause i’m
writing, producing, i’ll never give in, ’til i
motivate kids to go do what they want and get
off of the road they’ve been told for so long that they
gotta be on if they want to be happy, that
music a waste and especially rapping
my goal in my life is to live when i die
by speaking through music i want to change lives
the cycle repeats, someday i’ma be
the fort minor show that i saw at fourteen

[chorus: emily mesko]
fork in the road
i chose the risky path
i’m so determined
to walk until i can’t
i’ll keep on moving
i’ll crawl but i won’t fall
when will i realize
i’m on an endless path?

[verse 3: memento]
do i really want to risk it all when i’m at a
point where the choice is all or nothing?
really going to drop the ball on my job and
follow my calling, be somebody?
fork in the road? no doubt in my mind
but what do i know, i’m going in blind
i studied my heroes for all of my life
so f-ck it, why wait? now is my time
now is my time, ‘cause i don’t got time
i started so late, more reason to grind
already said i got something to prove
if i had said i got nothing to lose
that’d be a lie, a lot on the line
i cut off my money to buy me some time
if this don’t pay off, my life won’t be mine
i gotta go back to just selling my time
