On The Road
Non-Conformists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's B.K. kids, count the D.O.A. enforcers
When mauve goose come off with G's runnin the horses
It's only right I come rhythm and weapons
Ghetto slime and Stetsons, militant like Waco, Texas
Section shot apart from rhymes that are gun-smart
And PJ sparks like a swing cloth, with metal off
Cock D and drug pump like the mescaline
To my left, is the drug version of Billy Madison
Rocks with sling, women diets like Mabel King
It's a Medina thing, fat knots or chicken wings
Eat my ass if you want somethin
Fuck the frontin, cause goons own lyrics like David Ruffin
Welfare since birth, speak earth
Morbid tales bout cats in jail, hangin rap kings with rusty nails




Five bloods, one trash, fallouts and ghetto war
Peace to PJ's, Adrian Brothers, take the board

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Non-Conformists' song "On The Road" appear to be a commentary on the gritty realities of living in poverty-stricken urban neighborhoods. The references to DOA enforcers and drug use suggest a world of violence and addiction, while the line "Ghetto slime and Stetsons" paints a vivid picture of a community struggling to find its own unique identity amidst societal pressures to conform. The reference to Waco, Texas further underscores the idea that this is a subculture that exists outside the mainstream, and the lyrics go on to describe the ways in which its members must use their wits and street smarts to survive.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is proud of his survival skills and the community that has given him strength. The line "goons own lyrics like David Ruffin" suggests that the members of this community are creative and resourceful, able to turn their struggles into art. However, the song also acknowledges the darker side of this existence, with references to jail time and the use of rusty nails as weapons. Ultimately, "On The Road" is a searing portrait of a group of people who have been marginalized by society, but who refuse to be silenced and continue to find ways to thrive despite the odds against them.

Man, I really needed this video, honestly

I saved it UP! til today...in friggin May, you feel me?!

Thanks for pointing out the ideas and philosophies of Albert Camus' "The Stranger" and Nietzsche's "Der Übermensch" and shedding a different light and perspective on the whole thing and idea..

I've ALWAYS been the odd one out..fvckin ALWAYS and instead of resenting it..
I am now slowly starting to embrace it wit 25 years of age
-

Your videos honestly always give me a peace of mind and put me in a peaceful state and sense of mind...almost like comin to my senses remembering what I once learned but due to all the noise of the outside world I tend to forget in all of the trouble..

Thank you so much once again and your whole team for the work, the dedication and the seriously needed recurring topics contemplating not 'bout the meaning of life but how to actually approach one's individual way of thinking and understanding of the world with a curious yet eager to understand and ‘make sense of it nature’ :) 💭🍃💫

You are seriously one of my favorite YouTube channels of all time and I thank you and highly appreciate you for guiding me the way out of my own inner mazes pointing me in directions to trust me, my intuitions and myself again ⚡

You know you’re a complete recluse when the lockdowns didn’t affect your life too much

@MrNihilio

not one bit actually

@79viewer

Haha Not even a little bit.

finally, a person who has the same thoughts as me

@bryanoneill5047

I think my life improved,no pressure to "see friends" go out socialising, and I made plans which include solitude,I smile more.

@pablozewoppa

I enjoyed lockdown. I valued the different perspectives and pace of life one was able to observe. I've never seen the streets so empty; nor was the city I live in (London) so quiet. It saddens me that few people seem to have taken much away from that experience and just wish to return to 'normal'...

Nothing is worse than being surrounded by people and still feeling lonely.

@nvmffs

Yeah, tell me about....the problem as I see it is that people these days are utterly incapable of empathy. And I mean real empathy. Yes, the sight of an animal being hurt before them would probably make them feel bad for a few minutes but that's not real empathy. They just felt bad because it happened before them. They wouldn't lose their sleep over it. I do lose my sleep when I know that someone/some animal needs me or that I can disappoint them in any way. Naturally, emapthy is much more than just concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It means actively trying and being able to imagine yourself in their place. And that's the biggest obstacle it seems. Nobody's trying. What's worse, that seems to exacerbate with age.

@Johny40Se7en

Robin Williams said that, and I believe he was right. More often than not, that's caused by toxic relationships and wanting to please others too much. Steady on with the agreeableness 😅😝

@brownin329

I'm sure people who have been heinously killed or wrongly imprisoned would disagree with that.
