(Verse #1, Pigeon John) I live on the road, a modern day hobo/ Trained to eat quick and expect the low blow/ Get what you can from a dried up hole/ In the land of the lost, cowboys in the sand/ And my soul is the coal, and my life is the flame/ And it's burning to earn all the lights and the fame/ And it's turning to ash every step towards cash/ And I'm losing it fast so I mash on the gas/ But it's too late/ My fate is a broken-hearted freshman even before my first date/ And I smile at my call, another yes, yes ya'll/ With every summer, there's fall/ So I just rock in my chair while they rock to the beat/ A whole trainload of fresh meat/ And it's so sweet how they dream, their young hearts beam/ But they really don't know what it means, but they will though... (Hook) (There by subway train) Another day booked, I'm a fish on a hook now/ (There by subway train) It's too late to turn out my ride 'til I die now/ (There by subway train) Hitching a ride into town with my hands out/ (There by subway train) SongtexteI gotta go now, gotta go now, gotta go now... (Verse #2, manchild) Took my car to the MARTA station, train to the airport/ Feet to the bare floor, fists to declare war/ Fame as a flare, tore pain from your stare/ Used the game as a springboard, my name's at your in-store/ Kick to the snare drum, get here to there, son/ They stick to the chair like chicks that get their hair done/ Spit this to spare none, rhyme liquid in rare form/ Commit to prayer born, brought heat to stay warm/ Rap is my two cents, backed by the movement/ Sacrificed my words to give you Pigeon John and Blueprint/ Pleased just to thank you, hang with a strange few/ Five to the Deepspace, stay the same just to change you/ Pen to the notepad, mind to the starshine/ Knee to the groundwork, 'cause right now is our time/ Plane to the down south, MARTA to the train stop/ Walked to the car and drove back to the block... (Hook) (Verse #3, Blueprint) Are we there yet? Let me know, I'm feeling restless/ From traveling up what feels like stair steps/ And I hope it doesn't make me weak when I start to question/ How far I'm willing to go to deliver this message/ But the point of no return is where we're all at/ It's easier to push forward than to go back/ And since I can't go back to life before rap/ I'ma play this game and boost all my stats/ I was born at a time when you earned respect/ For the rhyme and the way you made words connect/ Not the money that you made or the girls you sexed/ A concept you obviously haven't heard of yet/ I did more shows in a month than you did in your life/ Ate gas station food, stayed up late nights/ Met a couple women that I'd like to make my wife/ And realized that I'd travel anywhere for mics...
