Young Xavier - Road Traveled Lyrics

Like, let me talk about it,
The weight I carry on my shoulders, I feel lost without it

Wishing I could just wake up and win a hundred
Thousand bills all got me stuck I can't afford f*ckin' public
Housing Like, what?
What the f*ck is even that?

Ever since I grew up, man, I feel I'm constantly attacked
But I'm constantly attached to the way it was
Memories we made along the way be gettin' tucked
No homies checkin' up
Man, the road be gettin' rough

All the bonds that we've created grow apart and end up cut
And if we f*ck around, then they act like tweezers get us plucked
It ain't no fun up in this life anymore, it's all just tough
Like,
It's some crazy shit

Man, I think I got some love for this private chick
Cause the way she's lookin' at me got me thinkin' bout the future
But too bad, cause she's thinkin' bout some other dick
Ponder what I do, wishin' I could kick it with my dog right after school

Degenerates, is what they called us for actin' fools
Runnin' from the f*ckin' cops while bro and em play it cool
And it's true, it's just the way we move
So as I'm writin' and thinkin' and spittin' in his booth

I just want my homie back
I just want my homie back, but he was gone at 22 like

Yeah, and now we back to it

Calculatin' verses got me feelin' like a math student
Jumpin' over ship or end up callin' all it quits
I'll never leave my family behind and that is where I stay fluent
The road is barely traveled, surrounded by these walls

And people act like f*ckin' cattle
The world is my voice while my city is my throne
And in a planet full of people, I can never throw a battle
Intelligence is key, a piece of mind's a fee

Generations catchin' bullets when they walkin' on the streets
And it's a never-ending cycle of us caught up in beliefs
But we can never find the peace until our bodies lay beneath
And so I check it for the G's

Hands up to the slums
To the place that I grew up, where we barely had the funds
Where the drugs are droppin' bodies more than all the f*ckin' guns
I Just wanna get my life straight, all just for my moms
Yeah
