The Road
Eyes on Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz you either sink or swim
Fuck the doubts you had
Never giving us a hand
Trying to make the best of the life we were giving
Paying for the path we have chosen
And you always got to be on your toes
The higher we step
No matter the how bad our luck is
It's never enough
Manage to catch our falls
Consuming your negative thoughts
Turning everything around to keep moving on
The struggles the heartaches the hardship
It's all we got to show over these years
The struggles the heartaches the friendships
It's all we have to give over these years
With no money to invest
Hearts that won't rest
Will do anything in our reach to progress
Chances we get become opportunities
Things we never dream of seeing became our minority
My path my glory
Fuck you
My life my pride
Fuck You
In "The Road," Eyes On delivers a powerful message about the challenges of life and the drive to persevere. The song begins with a call to beat the odds and not succumb to doubt or negativity. The lyrics suggest that life is a struggle, and success requires hard work and determination.
The lines "trying to make the best of the life we were giving/paying for the path we have chosen" speak to the idea that we have agency in our lives – we can choose our path, but we must also accept the consequences of our choices. The song emphasizes that success is never guaranteed, and setbacks can be devastating. However, the lyrics also assert that we can catch our falls and consume negative thoughts to keep moving forward.
The chorus – "The struggles the heartaches the hardship/It's all we got to show over these years/The struggles the heartaches the friendships/It's all we have to give over these years" – emphasizes the importance of enduring through struggle and hardship as a means of growth and building friendships.
The final lyrics, "My path my glory/Fuck you/My life my pride/Fuck you," suggest a defiant determination to succeed in the face of adversity.

Now I got the prettiest looker
Slap her on the butt like, "Gimme some sugar"
I don't know love but the feeling is right
We fuck until we think we know the meaning of life
Keep it in drive, eyes on the road
I got nobody, I'm all on my own
I can see my future and I think it is bright
But my parents keep saying a degree would be nice
But I tell 'em I don't need their advice
I'm driving 'round town, high beam on my lights
Keep it in drive, eyes on the road
I got nobody, I'm all on my own
It's not that easy to decide your pathway,
Had to quit believing that this life's a party,
If you want a wife, she wants a guy with money
Do you want me and my life with nothing?
[Chorus]
Seven lonely dollars in my bank account
Next month's rent in major doubt
Driving 'round town, playing Take Care loud
With the windows down
All the windows down, all the windows down
All the windows down, all the windows down
[Verse 2]
Yeah, uh, my parents keep giving me a telling off
"You're twenty-one already, all that's in your head is rocks",
They say, maybe I should cut my hair short
But no, no, no, I don't care for it
Keep it in drive, eyes on the road
I got nobody, I'm all on my own
Fuck you, fuck that, I just wanna get across
Everything is perfect right now, hope it never stops,
'Til I'm on the radio and I'm on the telly
And I'm living out these happy days like I'm Fonzarelli
Keep it in drive, eyes on the road
I got nobody, I'm all on my own
Yes, I don't have a boss or a desk chair
Just a room full of fans saying, "Hell yeah"
And a closet full of clothes that are threadbare
All the windows are down, I'm breathing fresh air
[Chorus]
Seven lonely dollars in my bank account
Next month's rent in major doubt
Driving 'round town, playing Take Care loud
With the windows down
All the windows down, all the windows down
All the windows down, all the windows down
Fucking bottle of whatever mixed with O.J
Homemade bong, feel like a cake lord, I'm so baked
On the home straight, tryna drive home straight
Take a corner like I'm German made, I don't break
But I'm Aussie made, golden-grade Irish flesh
Cast iron heart that I possess tucked inside my chest
Tired as heck, dreaming of my fiery death
If I don't explode my own skull, I'll probably die of stress
Beside myself like Siamese, all kinds of E's
Inside my palm to find some ease or try at least
I'd like to like the man I am, just so I can breathe
But the man inside of me, well, he's trying to leave
It's funny 'cause they'll call this my lyrical flow
The complexity of words near shits me though
I know they're serious, I'm growing weary though
Fuck this verse, I'm nearly home, yeah

miss these types of allday songs! this has straight rap and deep creative lyrics and is perfect and what made me fall in love with alldeezy. new stuff is a bit too clean and not much rapping and not as much deep lyrics, but no matter what will always support this amazing artist and get into every song.
