"Lonely Road" lyrics

"Lonely Road"

Lonely road, lonely road, ah
Lonely road, lonely road, ah
Lonely road, lonely road
Lonely road, lonely road
Listen, yeah, yeah

I gotta be direct but also give direction
I'm tryna disconnect but still maintain connection
Past your perception, please don't reason with me
I've burned the T-shirts from the places you're still dreamin' to see
This the embodiment of autonomy with the audience
It's humanizing the godliness, finding faith in the fogginess
Might not be obvious but I'm reluctant
'Cause one of my biggest fears is being someone people used to fuck with
But I faced that fear a lot, I hope it's losing power
A part of me is dead, y'all missed the viewing hours
You didn't get to say goodbye, well, that makes two of us
A part of me that was responsible for introducing us
He's still with me, he's just not behind the wheel no more
He's in the backseat yelling, "No one keeps it real no more"
Fear of disappointing people got me too reserved
It's a lonely road when you goin' after what you deserve

Lonely road, lonely road, ah
Lonely road, lonely road, ah
Lonely road, lonely road
Lonely road, lonely road

Yeah, it's a lonely road when you the only one you know with money
I really wish that they could feel me, but the subject's touchy
My beard is scruffy, I been up all night just plottin' shit
Since back when the Atlanta Hawks had Vladimir Radmanović
The sole earner, familial role reverser
Mister On My Job, but I don't talk to my co-workers
The pro-surfer dealing with a wave of emotions
Probably why I'm playin' Frank Ocean, but this is what comes with it
The cost is isolation, but I'm okay with funding it
The journey of a thought leader
Middle name James, but that's not why my bonds deeper
Opened up the doors that were closed like a shopkeeper
Who do I turn to when I'm who they turn to?
Walking through hell in my Maison Margiela church shoes
Does God have a curfew? 'Cause every night around 1 a.m.
I'm up waitin' just to hear Him say, "Yo, Russ, I heard you"

Lonely road, lonely road, ah
Lonely road, lonely road, ah
Lonely road, lonely road
Lonely road, lonely road
