On The Road
Ruben Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody help me
I want my baby by my side
This that triumphant shit
And goddamn I was born for it
When I walk from you don’t say I didn’t warn you
A final salut to the friend aka players
In this new game imma slayer
Ruben the last one to fall
Do I need some help does it looked like I called
I know y’all gonna ask me how the fuck I got this form and where I got it from
Trail and error in my own room, my illa killa alone room
Wanna die a legend
Wanna to die as someone that stud up for his brethren
Quote for myself See life as lesion even until heaven
So fresh people start asking questions
But this is just my entrance
This is Armageddon
This is uncontested
This is the dead end
So Give me some credit,
Bars flow through your head, beheaded
Guillotine, if y’all sleep on me
I know you will love me even when I lose my head
Forced feed lies and bullshit right in front of my eyes
This inner rapper have been in disguise
Illuminati, see trough the lines
The triangle of bread, determination, knowledge and execution
Switch it to Ruben instead
I’ve been misread, can’t be unsaid
These bars so fire they arrived from hell
And the hate for y’all certainly helped
Fuck y’all motherfucker I’m by myself
When the beat gets to me I’m on a hole other shelf
Unexplored territory where I am from
Where this rapper was born
Soy de bogota, a real hustler
A real motherfucker, a true g from the Nordic
Shouldn’t surprise you to see A true Viking story
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
I’m about to reel it in
Are you feeling it
Goddamn, goddamn,
Somebody help me
I walk this road alone
And I bring the show
And the killa flow
So that’s why I’m on my own
Y’all so false, you’re translucent
Feel this rhymes, it’s fluent
Leave this city in ruins
Ahead of my time, ahead in my life
Motived by nothing but improvement
So who you choosing, me or the guy that be foolish
That be including, the people with a head start
Imma bout to overlap y’all, call it black art
Restart this game and you’re just some spare parts
Beginner level, out master you with a pencil
You think you’re special,
When I’m outside the devil wants to hide in his temple
Bitches be gone but I’ll be staying on
Keep on going with my rapping delight
In my world there ain’t no fight
See my flight, I’ll be staying above
Let us sit down and recite some lines
I came in time with some killa rhyme
Flipped the dime, flipped the side
Cuz I arrived
Bitches will try to decrypt these bars
It’s a labyrinth with scars
The only thing tattooed on my body came from a far
It’s my home, my heritage, quite adequate to call myself a therapist
So please tell me you story but I know the answer start with yourself
Know your worth, I’m on my own shelf
Picture myself on the mice, hungry for the light
As a knight swore by his plight I live what I write
Truly dedicated to my craft
Educated from the last generation
Unfortunately my generation don’t care for the originated
I’m inspired by the boombap, by the snare and kick and the rap
Some of my fellas only hear trap, what a backhanded slap
But for real though this genre just past the borders
Maybe it’s to much to order
To always pay homage to recorder
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
I’m about to reel it in
Are you feeling it
Goddamn, goddamn,




Somebody help me
I walk this road alone
