From The Roads - Cadet, Tis Rome

Who would have thought, after all that time that it would pay off

Those cold nights on the road would end?

We were just young niggas

Tryna make funds, nigga

Say, how can you judge me of my past when I’m just like you?

Up and down the sea

Shine and get these packs gone, oh yeah

Up and down the sea, yeah

Don’t judge where I come from, oh yeah

Maybe 'cause I’m from the roads, yeah

They don’t wanna see me makin', yeah

But I’m doing this for myself

They claim they wishing well

They don’t want me doing better than them

I’m from the roads, yeah

This when, yeah

But I’m doing this for myself

They claim they wishing well

They don’t want me doing better than them

Maybe 'cause I’m from the roads, yeah

They don’t wanna see me makin', yeah

But I’m doing this for myself

They claim they wishing well

They don’t want me doing better than them

I’m from the roads, yeah

This when, yeah

But I’m doing this for myself

They claim they wishing well

They don’t want me doing better than them

Look, see I can’t just tell you half the truth

Know father was a bastard yute

blazer and I had half the suit

Pradas and my smartest shoes and see

I ain’t ashamed where I come from

I’m fool, like I was well supposing to

And even, if I’m in a suit and tie

Gas key on emergency

My electric’s still on emergency

There’s gotta be a life that’s been than the roads

I pray God lets me emerge, and see

And I know what I look like

, gold tooth, Gucci sign on my buckle

Even if I shake your hand like I’m nice

I know you can still see the scars on my knuckles

Yeah, I’m from the road bro

Like a of weed I’m tryna grow though

I keep my nine-to-five, I had no dough

To chase my dream and get show dough

And I know that road dough’s better than no dough

But the best dough doesn’t put you in the pen

'Cause, it doesn’t really matter where you come from

See, it only really matters where you end up

So no, I don’t really need no help, I’ll hold myself up

And I need no belt

And I move fully on, I need no stealth

'Cause we only know rich, we don’t really know wealth

So yeah, I’m on the grind like a video girl

Give it every single breath,

Stole 'em, made my space on my home

Just know young nigga coming from the roads

It’s mad

Maybe 'cause I’m from the roads, yeah

They don’t wanna see me makin', yeah

But I’m doing this for myself

They claim they wishing well

They don’t want me doing better than them

I remember I used to play

Hand out CVs to get work, but

Now these yutes don’t play

social life or a social network

Yeah man, I come from the roads

Kids nowadays just come from phones

In my mansion with a bop in my step

You can tell that I come from the roads

I’m on all night, this bop in my step, yeah

And I know that road dough’s better than no dough

But the best dough doesn’t put you in the pen

'Cause, it doesn’t really matter where you come from

See, it only really matters where you end up

Maybe 'cause I’m from the roads, yeah
