The Roads

(album: Ounto Nation - 2016)

[Abra Cadabra:]
I smoke on the ounto, the ounto, the ounto
Relieve the stress, relieve the pain
Damn

The roads so cold
I seen it all at a young age nigga I be selling that dope
All these older niggas older than me I don't see them as old
They never told me kick ball, jump in the booth they just want me on the roads
And you wonder why I'm robbing these olders for their ma' fucking coke
This the life I was shown
This ain't a life that I chose
I know, I know, things gonn' work out for me
Kush, Slamming, Chunks my bros'
Don't forget PK Humble in the cut
You see these four soldiers they gonn' surely hit the top
My niggas, my niggas
My niggas, my niggas
My ma' fucking niggas from the slums, no problem

See the landlord playing games he had my mama on the pavement
Had four racks for my mama and it still didn't save us
I put it on my life, all my life, on my life, that's all I had for my savings
Big one nine on me, how the fuck am I still not blading
Its only guns and knives I see
That's another face on ITV
I see Serco vans everywhere that I go
That's another yard nigga on IPP
This life we living is crazy
Young school girls having babies
She's only fifteen, sixteen, but she feels like a lady

Would you still love me if I was a snitch?
Would you still love me if I was a prick?
Would you still love me if the haters on the road side told you ABZ be a bitch?
Would you still love me if I was a snitch?
Would you still love me if I was a prick?
Would you still love me if the haters on the road side told you ABZ be a bitch?
Cause I know

I know, I know, I know
They don't wanna see me grind
They don't wanna see me shine
But it's all time yeah
The roads, the roads, the roads
It's only wasting my life
It's only taking my shine
But it's all time yeah
More glow, more glow, more glow
Young nigga just stay on your grind
Young nigga don't force the shine
It's only time yeah
I know, I know, I know
They don't wanna see me grind
They don't wanna see me shine
But it's all time yeah

[Kush:]
It's another black yute on ITV
It's another black yute getting IPP
For my bruddas that grind on these streets
Take time ca' the police wanna lif' us off our feets
Man I can't put my mind at ease ca' bare niggas think they're bad with the 'Rettas on these streets
So we tell my mama now I gotta' roll with my wetter for these neeks
I'm not tryna' get pricked by no geek
I focussed on this money couldn't give a damn if a nigga screams say it on me
I'm cray out in the fields getting money
Why you niggas chilling out, smoking weed, moving bummy?
Bare bums, man are clowns, what's funny?
Don't you feel the money hunger in your tummy?
I'm on the come up with my Gs wait on me
And that's a promise to my mummy wait on me

[Abra Cadabra:]
I know, I know, I know
They don't wanna see me grind
They don't wanna see me shine
But it's all time yeah
The roads, the roads, the roads
It's only wasting my life
It's only taking my shine
But it's all time yeah
More glow, more glow, more glow
Young nigga just stay on your grind
Young nigga don't force the shine
It's only time yeah
I know, I know, I know
They don't wanna see me grind
They don't wanna see me shine
But it's all time yeah

Sho, cut the act cut the bullshit
I heard niggas wanna hit me with the full clip
There was a time and place for these postcode wars
And bro, to be honest it's foolish
Look, but it is what it is
Approach me on the curb you best stay with the sticks
Chicago lifestyle man's really with the shits
No problems round here but man will give it to a prick
So tell me what it is that you know cause
Is it the bando or the snow stuff?
Anyone can tell me 'bout life on the roads cause
But no one can tell me the benefits the road's got
I don't know why we living, how we living
Big Rambizzy pon my waist still sinning
Summertime on my ped preeing women
Give a fuck about faith gimme' chip lemme bill it

If you wanna do road, do road, do road
Don't let the road do you
Some of these lying ass niggas on the road wagwan like gunman I see through you
If you wanna do road, do road, do road
Don't let the road do you
Some of these pussy ass niggas on the roads wagwan like gunman I see through you, no problem

I know, I know, I know
They don't wanna see me grind
They don't wanna see me shine
But it's all time yeah
The roads, the roads, the roads
It's only wasting my life
It's only taking my shine
But it's all time yeah
More glow, more glow, more glow
Young nigga just stay on your grind
Young nigga don't force the shine
It's only time yeah
I know, I know, I know
They don't wanna see me grind
They don't wanna see me shine
But it's all time yeah
