Nowhere
Bubba Sparxxx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen, first, you must travel, a long, desolate road
This road that you shall travel, will seem like nowhere.
That nowhere, will turn into somewhere
Keep your head up Bubba, don't let nobody get you down,
Cause that road you travel will turn around

I've accepted every challenge, and risen to all occasions
A country boy that's got his shit like Randy Moss and Jason
Perhaps some of these numerals don't fit in ya'lls equation
If your opinions coincide with that you oughta save â??em
Lookin' for the greatest Southern rapper, fuck it period
Negative spirits they only keeping down a myriad
Of Satan's substances, and my systems' still my wisdom
It never once compromised that between God and I
Never once forgotten my manners
Cause my ma'ama played in public housin' in Alabama
But she had a diff'rent plan for me, russ and ginger
Thank the lord for Jimmy Mathis, pops he must remember us
Are you really down when those other clowns disappear
Taught me how to set the scope, shoot and leave with the deer
Man made me drink the blood, and showed me life was precious
The muddy road from nowhere to somewhere is my direction

[Chorus]
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's like
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's like

Can you relate five kids, six fish sticks on the plate
All writin' to Santa Claus, I guess he got the list too late
Or to catch the fish you bait the hook with lil' Dylan's poo-poo
On Mr. Allen's property, he catch you, he will shoot you
Let these cats amuse you with comical depictions
But where I'm from being broke is no honorable affliction
Love some Jimmy Carter, but we never even voted
But slum is still slum, so you best believe we told it
Every five armed from AK's to 30-30's
And from live watch to live stock they pays the early birdy
Thus we worked the land like you worked the block with yayo
But I choose keys over cattle cause the profits way more
But I might get locked away though peddling the sno cones
So we keep it simplified with papers of that homegrown
It's the finest shine that you can find on this side of Memphis
From east nowhere to west somewhere still the grind is endless

[Chorus]

It all comes down to this, one last chance to advance
Beyond the second round of the big dance, all my plans
Of being viewed as something special, more than just the other one
We'll vanish from the papers and the plague the South has suffered from
The world's weight plus a ton, restin' on my shoulders
But what's attractive, to ease my nerve, is blessed to the beholder
Cause Eminem's incredible, but did I really need to say this
For ya'll to leave my soul at rest and add me to your playlist
But this time I may just, leap and clear that hurdle man
Cause there's gonna be a million more, who knows if they'll be worth a damn
Bubba K, I surely am, with that silky kinda sound
Carson Daily host it out, I'll be early for this time around
Cause I've come to far for my own mistakes to quell me
Cause looking back at self improvement proves an aching ailment




Cause nothing they can tell me will get me somewhere in a hurry
If I'm nowhere, then that nowhere will leave me no more need to worry

Negative spirits they only keeping down a myriad
Negative attitudes will only hinder progress and success

My morals and beliefs are strong and have never been compromised

But she had a diff'rent plan for me, russ and ginger
My mother had envisioned a successful future for me and my siblings


Thank the lord for Jimmy Mathis, pops he must remember us
I am grateful for those who have helped and supported me along my journey


Are you really down when those other clowns disappear
True support is shown when others stick around even during tough times


Taught me how to set the scope, shoot and leave with the deer
I have learned practical skills such as hunting from those around me


Man made me drink the blood, and showed me life was precious
I have been exposed to difficult situations and life lessons that have taught me the value of life


The muddy road from nowhere to somewhere is my direction
The road towards success may be difficult and unclear, but it is the path that I am taking


Can you relate five kids, six fish sticks on the plate
Do you understand the struggle of growing up with limited resources and opportunities?


All writin' to Santa Claus, I guess he got the list too late
Despite having hopes and dreams, they may not always come true


Or to catch the fish you bait the hook with lil' Dylan's poo-poo
I have had to learn unconventional strategies in order to survive and succeed


On Mr. Allen's property, he catch you, he will shoot you
Growing up in certain environments can be dangerous and unpredictable


But where I'm from being broke is no honorable affliction
Growing up with limited resources is not something to be proud of or reputably recognized


Love some Jimmy Carter, but we never even voted
We may admire certain people or values, but not necessarily take part in them


But slum is still slum, so you best believe we told it
Regardless of how it looks or feels, poverty is still evident and present


Every five armed from AK's to 30-30's
In dangerous environments, it is necessary to have weapons for protection


And from live watch to live stock they pays the early birdy
Hard work and early wake-up calls are necessary for survival and success


Thus we worked the land like you worked the block with yayo
We hustled and worked hard, just like those selling drugs on the streets


But I choose keys over cattle cause the profits way more
I chose a different path towards success because it was more profitable and promising


But I might get locked away though peddling the sno cones
Although my path is different, it still has its own risks and challenges


So we keep it simplified with papers of that homegrown
We have found a simpler and safer way to make a profit


It's the finest shine that you can find on this side of Memphis
Our product is of the highest quality and sought after


From east nowhere to west somewhere still the grind is endless
Regardless of where we start or where we end up, the journey towards success is always ongoing


It all comes down to this, one last chance to advance
The final opportunity to succeed is now


Beyond the second round of the big dance, all my plans
My goals surpass just making it to the second round of a competition


Of being viewed as something special, more than just the other one
I aspire to be unique and stand out from the crowd


We'll vanish from the papers and the plague the South has suffered from
Without success or recognition, we will continue to struggle and be overlooked


The world's weight plus a ton, restin' on my shoulders
The pressure and responsibility to succeed is heavy and overwhelming


But what's attractive, to ease my nerve, is blessed to the beholder
Beauty and positivity can be found in the blessings and good things in life


Cause Eminem's incredible, but did I really need to say this
Although Eminem is talented, I don't need to compare myself to him to prove my worth


For ya'll to leave my soul at rest and add me to your playlist
I am hoping for recognition and success in the music industry


But this time I may just, leap and clear that hurdle man
This time, I am determined to overcome obstacles and succeed


Cause there's gonna be a million more, who knows if they'll be worth a damn
The competition is tough and there will always be more aspiring artists


Bubba K, I surely am, with that silky kinda sound
I am confident in my unique style and sound


Carson Daily host it out, I'll be early for this time around
I am eager and prepared for any opportunities that come my way


Cause I've come to far for my own mistakes to quell me
I have made mistakes and learned from them, and they will not hold me back


Cause looking back at self improvement proves an aching ailment
Reflecting on my past mistakes can be painful and distressing


Cause nothing they can tell me will get me somewhere in a hurry
There are no shortcuts to success and no one else's advice can guarantee it


If I'm nowhere, then that nowhere will leave me no more need to worry
If I am not yet successful, then I have nothing to lose and can continue to work towards my goals without worry
