On The Road

[Interviewer]

Alright, what would you say is the best part about your career?

[Royce - talking]

The best part about my career is probably being able to

do what I love doin all the time, which is, make music

The negative side of it

is probably just being away from my family so much

Cause I find it, like an MC like myself

One of the many ways I can make money, is to pack up

and just, take my show on the road, youknowwhatI'msayin?

[Royce Da 5'9"]

Tired of the same old hustle

Same old niggaz sayin they is gon' touch you

Foes wanna act up when they with back up

So I pack up and go - yeah, yeah

Niggaz snitchin, niggaz hittin nigga's bitches

This shit here is gettin ridiculous

Me and Vicious in here flickin pictures

Niggaz gettin rich and sittin with them trick bitches

Now picture me locked up for life for

the nigga who controllin the drop in the price or

niggaz askin what I'm in they light for

like I ain't got an army behind me to fight for me

Niggaz money gettin glowed, niggaz gonna get 'bows

And they gonna get sold, on the road

Cause at home they denyin to feel me

Labels wishin that they signed with the real me

Cause now that I rhyme with the feeling

that I am on, is dyin to kill me

But I am a soldier, as I'm gettin older

I'm takin my show on the road

[Chorus: Royce]

You can find me, up in a quiet, town

like Ohio, tyin it down (on the road)

It's nothin, the pump on the block where you come from

Cop and re-up and whyle (on the road)

Like a show you, go and come back with, dough

That's how shit goes (on the road)

And it's nothin to cop or re-up where you come from

It's how shit goes (on the road)

[Royce Da 5'9"]

Yeah, yeah

I'ma give it to you 'til you leakin

The problem with me is that I speak with the nine-millimeter

The problem with me is that I ain't equal

Prove it to you, pull you a line out of people

That movie you starrin in is rated R

because I am the sequel

But I'ma be triumphant at least speakin

Ridin through the Chi or the D or the D.C

Movin fifty pounds weekly

Lookin at the south region, thinkin about, am I greedy? (nah)

If I ain't, I don't eat inspired by Hennessy

Ridin in Tennessee (yeah)

Fuck around and meet me

Shuttin down everything from Uptown to up and down Beat Street

But I am a soldier, you know what I'm about

In the drop, I don't slow, when I go, on the road

[Chorus]

[Royce - talking]

Y'knowmsayin?

Like I, I see hip-hop goin forward

Y'know you got, people buyin into, basketball teams

And, all types of crazy shit, y'knowmsayin?

So, I see a lot of people

being able to provide for they families

A lot of, Black people who would otherwise be out of work, havin jobs

I just see everything movin forward.. {*echoes*}
