the way
Kenneth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back when I was alone, I was cold as December
Four in the morning choices, I was full of regret
But still trying to make memories I couldn't forget, yeah
Drowning in a puddle of water my heart was shallow
Then I walked out on the water, it's deeper I'm seeing narrow
No deceiving, you see I'm seasoned. You just burn sage
New chapter in my story, that's a turned page
Trust the process until there's progress
I know my purpose now, I can't have doubts
Back then I used to pray for what I have now
I will never give up for my dream sake
You run a rat race, just to keep pace
No beginners luck, nah I'm too advanced
Let you see into my life, I'll give you a glance
Follow the Ways
(The truth the life)
Give up your Ways
(They're not my Ways)
You're stuck in your Ways
(Too much pride)
I lost my Way
(I'm coming home)
Follow the Ways
(The truth the life)
Give up your Ways
(They're not my Ways)
You're stuck in your Ways
(Too much pride)
I lost my Way
(I'm coming home)
Used to look back on my bad decisions
Now I look forward, can't distract the mission
Being stuck inside your flesh, you know that's a prison
Grace given in the present, that's a past forgiven
I can never put my faith in only pure chance
Follow your plans, guided only by your hands
I can see the hand of God on my thoughts
I can see His footsteps when I walk
I can hear His voice yeah I know it well
You can see the proof I'm like show and tell
You chase the law of attraction, your thinking is wishful
I been thru real healing, I never needed a crystal
It's simple, you tell me I have an odd stance
Reading tarot cards, couldn't show you what God planned
Gods plan, they try to recreate
Walking crooked paths so they ain't seeing straight
Follow the Ways
(The truth the life)
Give up your Ways
(They're not my Ways)
You're stuck in your Ways
(Too much pride)
I lost my Way
(I'm coming home)
Follow the Ways
(The truth the life)
Give up your Ways
(They're not my Ways)
You're stuck in your Ways
(Too much pride)
I lost my Way
(I'm coming home)
In "The Way," Kenneth reflects on his struggles in life and the losses he's experienced. He starts off by saying that he's been doing things on his own, even though he didn't want to. Kenneth then talks about how in 2013, he didn't know certain people, and when his friend, K. Young, passed away, he didn't need anyone to help him through it. He also mentions the troubling times he's faced, where it felt like he was losing friends all the time. Despite the hardships, Kenneth is holding it down for his "woes" or his friends; he's shitting on other people and taking their girls.
Throughout the song, Kenneth alludes to those who have passed away, including Matt and Bo. He shows love to them by mentioning how they did things together in the past, like making music in the back of an Audi or smoking weed. Although Kenneth acknowledges his haters, he doesn't pay them any mind, saying that he "can’t do no fussing." He also talks about how he can't trust anyone besides his "Bros," and that he won't waste time with anyone who isn't a friend or moving with the same goals in mind.
Overall, "The Way" is a song about perseverance and loyalty. Kenneth has been through difficult moments, but he's going to keep going until he achieves his goals. He's not interested in wasting time with people who aren't on the same path as him, but he'll always remember those who were there for him in the beginning.

If you're not part of my group, it doesn't make you an enemy, just not a friend
Started a wave, they see the trend in me
I started a trend and others are following me
Niggas be hoes, they don’t be men to me
Some men are cowards and not real to me
Keep it 100, keep it a Ben with me
Be honest with me, tell me the truth
Can’t trust a bitch yea thats what it been to me
I can't trust women, that's my experience
Only the Bros yea them niggas been with me
Only my friends have been with me through it all
Yea Brudda nem kent to me

Touching ha toes, nah this is a bend to me
Having sex with her is nothing special
Fucking ha good I bet she remember me
She'll never forget the good sex we had
All ina car stuck in her memory
She'll always remember having sex with me in the car
Straight to the bar tell them to henny me
I'm going straight to the bar and asking for Hennessy
That and a gar really the remedy
Drinking Hennessy and smoking marijuana is the cure for everything
Dub to SL shit for infinity
My dream is to go from a small car (Dub) to a luxury car (SL) and make a lot of money forever (infinity)
