Cancellation of Apple Music Subscription

I canceled my Apple Music subscription. After cancelling, I have NONE of the music that I downloaded during my subscription (100's of songs). How do I get my music back?!! I I PAID for an Apple Music subscription for years and it seems unfair that all the music can be taken away like that.

You misunderstood the nature of an Apple Music subscription. While subscribed you are renting the music, you are not buying it (unless you do that separately). When the subscription ends then the music disappears. This is like renting a car; when you stop renting the car has to go back to the agency.
