WAY TO ROME
On my way to Rome
I'd taken my time to boast
No matter how tiring or tough
I must end up on the best one
But not all that glitters is gold
Temptations keep hitting me in my soul
I fell for each deception
And hindrances caught my attention
In the streets of my home
I'd show it that i've got it all
I went through hell getting there
Only me knows my pain
But not all that glitters is gold
I put on a shoe everyone praises
The pain in me have no face
When I go out in the street
I got new great bad names
Failure I was called from all range
Each word stuck on my head
Like the union of butter and bread
Soon, these became stepping stones
To a big great milestone
Success walked in my way
Much to the delight of my face
On my way to Rome
I met troubles in double
But I turned them patiently into gold
And bought my way out of the struggles.
