[Intro]
Listen, first you must travel a long dusty road
This road you shall travel will seem like nowhere
But that nowhere will turn into somewhere
Keep yo' head up Bubba, don't let no body getchya down
Cuz that you travel shall turn around, begin
[Kiley Dean]
Ahhhhhh ahhhhh
Ahhhehhhhahhh
Ohhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhehhhh
Ahhhhehhhohhhh
Nowhere, nowhere
[Verse 1: Bubba Sparxxx]
I've accepted every challenge and risen to all occasions
The country boy done got 'em shook like Randy Moss and Jason
Perhaps ol' Bubba's numerals don't fit in y'all's equation
If yo' opinions coincide with that, you oughta save 'em
Cuz' the quoted greatest southern rapper fuckin period
Negative spirits, they only keep you down a myriad
Of Satan's substance is in my system, still my wisdom
Is never once compromised, that's between God and I
Never once forgotten my manners 'cause my mamma
Played in public housing, Opelika, Alabama
But she had a different plan for me, and Russ and Ginger
Thank the Lord for Jimmy Mathis Pops, they must remember
How you held it down when them other clowns disappeared
Taught me how to set the scope, shoot, and leave with the deer
Then made me drink the blood to show me life was precious
The money rose from nowhere 'til somewhere, here's my directions
[Hook: Kiley Dean]
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
[Verse 2: Bubba Sparxxx]
Can you relate to five kids, six fish sticks on the plate
Or writing Santa Claus, I guess he got the list too late
Or to catch the fish, you bait the hook with little Dylan's poo-poo
On Mr. Allen's property, he catch you he will shoot you
Let these cats amuse you with comical depictions
But where I'm from, bein broke's no honorable affliction
Love some Jimmy Carter, but we never even voted
But slum is still slum, so you best believe we tote it
Every firearm from AKs to thirty-thirties
And from live rocks to livestock, they pays the early birdy
Thus we worked the land like you worked the block with yayo
But I chose keys over cattle 'cause the profits way mo'
Might get locked away, though, peddlin' them snow cones
So we keep it simplified with acres of that homegrown
Plus the finest shine that you could find this side of Memphis
From east nowhere to west somewhere still the grind is endless
[Hook: Kiley Dean]
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
[Verse 3: Bubba Sparxxx]
It all comes down to this, one last chance to advance
Beyond the second round of the big dance, all my plans
Of being viewed as somethin special, more than just the other one
Will vanish in the vapors of the plague the South has suffered from
The world's weight plus a ton resting on my shoulders
But what detractors deem my curse is blessed to the beholder
'Cause Eminem's incredible, but did I really have to say this
For y'all to leave my soul at rest and add me to yo' playlist
But this time I may just leap and clear that hurdle, man
'Cause it's gon' be a million more, who knows if they'll be worth a damn
Bubba K I surely am, with that silky kind of sound
Carson, tell yo' folks that I'll be early for this time around
'Cause I've come too far for my own mistakes to quell me
'Cause lookin' back at self-inflicted wounds that ache and ail me
There's nothin they can tell me, get me somewhere in a hurry
If I'm nowhere, let that nowhere be nowhere near a worry
Okey-dokey
[Hook: Kiley Dean]
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike
{*Cry Me A River beat*}
[Timbaland]
You don't have to say what you did
Come on Ki and help me sing
[Kiley Dean]
Cry me a river Oh
Cry me a river Oh
Cry me a river Oh
Cry me a river Oh
Cry me a river Oh
I know what it's like to be nowhere ehh
