Rocky Road Songtext
von Chamillionaire feat. Devin the Dude
Rocky Road Songtext
The rain is fallin′ and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go, but I continue to roll (roll)
The rainfall is really taking a toll
On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul (soul)
The rain′s fallin' but I'm keeping a hold
On the Light ′cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know know, I know know, I know this is gonna be one rocky road
What part of the voyage is this?
Friendship and business don′t mix
With anyone else its just business
With friends I'm personally pissed
Is this a curse or a gift?
Guess I was blessed with my wish
Don′t tell me that you feel my pain
That I sayin' it′s best if we switch
You take the fortune and fame
And see if it's what you expected
Take the money and change
And be careful where you invest it
Just take the test and don′t stress it
You get stopped by a detective
Tryna get in ya personal life
The gotta do yo best to protect it
The answer rests in a message
When I go I'll go in a blaze
But it wont be no captain savin'
′Cause where I′m goin ya saved
Tryna rain down on my parade
'Til that umbrella get raised
They thinkin′ that they can read me
Then they ain't knowin′ my page
Tryin' to keep a smile on my face
Even at times when I engage
In business conversations
With people I know are snakes
If life is a piece of cake
Part of the icing is venom
Spent a lifetime tryin′ to bring me down
But I jus ain't gonna let 'em
Ya betta tell ′em
The rain is fallin′ and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go, but I continue to roll (roll)
The rainfall is really taking a toll
On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul (soul)
The rain′s fallin' but I′m keeping a hold
On the Light 'cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know know, I know know, I know this is gonna be one rocky road
I′m back and forth and I'm pacing
Bein' more patient than patience
Tryin′ to wait for the good news to show up
But I′m unfortunately waitin'
Gotta be group participation
If it′s intercourse that we making
I was unfortunately done
And she was unfortunately fakin'
′Cause the only sexual spark
Is the spark he got for the dough
They say 'til death do us part
But that part is where she says no
There are too many emotions
Emotions like pins and needles
Actin′ like emotions are evil
Like showin' love is illegal
I thought that it was a eagle
But I've seen this vulture before
He thinks this is where I stop
′Cause he sees that im walkin slow
But no, I think you should know
That soon as I get where I go
You′ll remember the fact that
I had a purpose for show
I hope you know where you're going
I hope you know that today
On the side of the road
You gon′ see a whole lotta snakes
When the bad weather comes
To rain down on ya parade
Just raise up ya umbrella
And try to keep goin' straight
The rain is fallin′ and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go, but I continue to roll (roll)
The rainfall is really taking a toll
On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul (soul)
The rain′s fallin' but I'm keeping a hold
On the Light ′cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know know, I know know, I know this is gonna be one rocky road
This road has many curves
Many bumps and potholes
It can even take you through a loop if you aint got yo
Shit together unpredictable weather could leave ya
Dehydrated frostbitten washed away or either
Ran over by heavy traffic watch where you roam
′Cause it's a challenge just tryna make it home
But still I walk, I keep my pace, I keep my stride
Would hitchhike, but there′s too much pride
I must find a narrow path
So I can walk and laugh out loud
Cry and sing without bein' judged by the crowd
Maybe someday I could just fly away but for now
I′ll just beat my feet and get there someway somehow
And mile after mile after mile I'll smile
Keepin my head up even though rain′s pourin down
And the road gets rough and the journey is long
I might get tired but I must move on
The rain is fallin' and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go, but I continue to roll (roll)
The rainfall is really taking a toll
On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul (soul)
The rain′s fallin′ but I'm keeping a hold
On the Light ′cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know know, I know know, I know this is gonna be one rocky road
Most of our heroes are locked up, diseased, or deceased
You could never really feel remorse until somebody restin' in peace
You measure the best by success and ain′t impressed by nothin' less
Only time we say we wanna change is when we ain′t got no change left
Only time we call on God is when there is nobody else to call
Keep stumblin' over the same roadblock that just made you fall
We always gotta wait 'til somethin′ happen before we start reactin′
We at war with ourselves, how much longer are we gon' be attackin′?
Don't know which way to go, but I continue to roll (roll)
The rainfall is really taking a toll
On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul (soul)
The rain′s fallin' but I'm keeping a hold
On the Light ′cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know know, I know know, I know this is gonna be one rocky road
What part of the voyage is this?
Friendship and business don′t mix
