I’m on the road because I gotta be Been bitter all my life and look where that’s gotten me Thought they had my back but no one got a G Now I’m stuck on my own just a lonely prodigy I feel like you choose them over me Still wondering why you let them threaten me Not a word was said when they put their hands on me Me giving them respect was something I couldn’t see How the fuck was I supposed to give them something they wasn’t giving me You gotta earn it why am I expected to give it free? I feel like I was born lost at sea And it’s been hard to stay afloat The way you treated me was cutthroat I wanted love but the only thing I felt was loath My feelings was something I couldn’t promote So I said fuck it and got my own boat Mama I know I left but at least I left a note I’m on the road because I gotta be Been bitter all my life and look where that’s gotten me Thought they had my back but no one got a G Now I’m stuck on my own just a lonely prodigy Don’t call me a boy because I’m a man My respect is the only thing I demand You never looked out and never seen my hand I know being part of my life wasn’t the plan Ended up with you anyways and I wasn’t a fan Ended up kicked out now what’s that bout I tried getting to know you through every doubt In my mind I knew this was the wrong route I guess that’s just something my heart couldn’t get behind Far from a good example you was never kind Your words and actions brought my childhood to mind I remember looking at older guys and seeing if our features aligned I used to be depressed because my father was someone I could never find You raised a daughter but left me behind I still feel the pain it’s well defined I should have known but hope had me blind Now I realize I just wasted my time I’m on the road because I gotta be Been bitter all my life and look where that’s gotten me Thought they had my back but no one got a G Now I’m stuck on my own just a lonely prodigy Unc you was the only man who gave me the time of day You wasn’t the best influence you led me astray But when it came to stepping up you did so with no delay When you was locked behind that wall all I could do was pray Nightmares of you in that cell with no choice but to decay Our bond and loyalty was on full display That’s why when we had that falling out I was in disarray I moved with you because I felt that was the best way The things that went down left me in dismay I ended up taking care of the bills by myself I felt used You acted like being family meant that was supposed to be excused All I asked for was basic respect and you refused You was the only one that cared when I was being abused That’s why I left with my heart feeling bruised I Didn’t say a word to anyone but you ran your mouth and made sure I felt accused Now years later all I feel is confused I’m on the road because I gotta be Been bitter all my life and look where that’s gotten me Thought they had my back but no one got a G Now I’m stuck on my own just a lonely prodigy
