[Verse 1]
Nowhere to go down these deadend roads
I try to flee just to free my soul
Intersection, which way to go?
I don't know
(I don't know)
I tried the highways but the highways closed
(Closed)
Now I'm blinded by dusty roads
(Roads)
Uncertain which way to go
To find my way back home to Texas
(Home)
[Verse 2]
Cheah
I want you to walk with me
I done been through a lot of struggles
Lot of ups and downs
Y'all think it's a cakewalk
[Verse 3]
Tell me why
I can't see where I'm goin', no
(I can't see where I'm goin')
When everybody else sees
Where I'm comin' from
(Comin' from Houston, you know where I'm from)
And I don't know why
(I don't know)
I travel down these deadend roads
I gotta turn this car around
(But I'ma make it)
And find my way home
[Verse 4]
Ay, when you listen to my music do you feel my shit?
Look, I don't need punchlines 'cause I live my shit
A lot of cats sellin' they soul for radio play
That's why we need more rappers like Common and Kanye
**** scared to be broke so they fake it to make it
If my album went gold I'd still be the greatest
Back in the days I would get caught for truancy
But now I'm puttin' money back in my community
I took my homies out the hood, now they got jobs
'Cause there's more to life than dodgin' cop cars
I played the block hard, now I play the pop charts
But now I'm getting dumb money 'cause I got smart
[Verse 5]
Tell me why
I can't see where I'm goin', no
When everybody else sees
Where I'm comin' from
And I don't know why
I travel down these deadend roads
I gotta turn this car around
And find my way home
(Cheah, cheah, cheah)
[Verse 6]
Ay, yo, I never seen a man cry till I seen a man die
So when you talk to me look me in my damn eyes
'Cause I been through it all and my scars prove it
'Cause when it come to that paper, homie I'ma do it
I just rhyme part time, you better know it
These lines comin' from my mind so I never wrote it
I keep my 9 by my spine but I never show it
Yeah, I'm addicted to pine but I never grow it
And the reason I got signed, 'cause I'm a poet
Half of my **** doin' time but I'm focused
That's why I'm stayin' on the grind if you haven't noticed
That old '99 transformed to a Lotus
[Verse 7]
Tell me why
I can't see where I'm goin', no
When everybody else sees
Where I'm comin' from
And I don't know why
I travel down these deadend roads
I gotta turn this car around
And find my way home
(Cheah, cheah, cheah)
[Verse 8]
When ya new album drop, everybody ya friend
**** actin' like they down but I know they pretend
I used to scrape up money for studio time
I'm like Jay-Z, homie, I remember my rhymes
Ain't nobody help me out when my cash was low
My bills comin' too fast so I had to blow
And I walked by faith, not by sight
'Cause I know G-O-D will guide me right
I take the bitter with the sweet, I know you feel my pain
Why we gotta get harassed when we board the plane?
I ain't tryna preach to ya but I hope you relate
'Cause even at a deadend you gotta find your way, okay, okay
[Verse 9]
Tell me why
I can't see where I'm goin', no
When everybody else sees
Where I'm comin' from
And I don't know why
I travel down these deadend roads
I gotta turn this car around
And find my way home
[Verse 10]
I'd like to dedicate this track to my grandparents
They stuck by a **** through thick and thin
Even when I started doin' this rap music
They was givin' me money to go to the studio to do my demos
Long as I got my family, I'm straight
They gon' be around even if I ain't got a hit
You dig what I'm sayin'?
So even at a deadend you gotta find your way
Free Zero, welcome home, brother man
