The Road
Saudin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on the road tryna get more
Stacking this bread I'm tryna count all of my dough
In town for two days and then I gotta go
Now she say she miss me 'cause I'm on the road
I'm on the road tryna get more
Working so hard I'm tryna stack all of my dough
In town for two days and then I gotta go
Now she say she love me 'cause I'm 'bout to blow

I just wanna know what you want from me
I just wanna know what you need from me
I'm about to hit the road, do it all for me
These days you only hit me up when you want something
These days I only hit you up when I'm on something
Say I'm up to nothing
That's why you still love me

Did a couple wrong
Did a couple right
Still wonder where you are
Remember when I bought those flights?
Did a couple wrong
But I always did you right
Now you see I'm a star
See me shining so bright

I'm on the road tryna get more
Stacking this bread I'm tryna count all of my dough
In town for two days and then I gotta go
Now she say she miss me 'cause I'm on the road
I'm on the road tryna get more
Working so hard I'm tryna stack all of my dough
In town for two days and then I gotta go
Now she say she love me 'cause I'm 'bout to blow

She know she know she know that I'm about to blow
She know she know she know she hates to see me go

Long days, long nights I try not to think about you
I got these things in mind that I want to do with you
I can't waste no time
I'm on a paper chase and now I'm tryna get mine

Did a couple wrong
Did a couple right
Still wonder where you are
Remember when I bought those flights?
Did a couple wrong
But I always did you right
Now you see I'm a star
See me shining so bright

I'm on the road tryna get more
Stacking this bread I'm tryna count all of my dough
In town for two days and then I gotta go
Now she say she miss me 'cause I'm on the road
I'm on the road tryna get more
Working so hard I'm tryna stack all of my dough
In town for two days and then I gotta go
Now she say she love me 'cause I'm 'bout to blow

She know she know she know that I'm about to blow
She know she know she know
I'm about to blow
I'm about to blow

I'm about to blow
I'm about to blow
