Cadet
From The Roads
[Verse 1: Tis Rome]
Who would have thought, after all that time that it would pay off
Those cold nights on the road would end?
We were just young n***as
Tryna make funds, n***a
Say, how can you judge me of my past when I'm just like you?

[Refrain: Tis Rome]
Up and down the sea
Shine and get these packs gone, oh yeah
Up and down the sea, yeah
Don't judge where I come from, oh yeah

[Chorus: Tis Rome]
Maybe 'cause I'm from the roads, yeah
They don't wanna see me makin', yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

I'm from the roads, yeah
This when [?], yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them
Maybe 'cause I'm from the roads, yeah
They don't wanna see me makin', yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

I'm from the roads, yeah
This when [?], yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

[Verse 2: Cadet]
Look, see I can't just tell you half the truth
Know father was a bastard yute
[?] blazer and I had half the suit
Pradas and my smartest shoes and see
I ain't ashamed where I come from
I'm fool, like I was well supposing to
And even, if I'm in a suit and tie
Gas key on emergency
My electric's still on emergency
There's gotta be a life that's been than the roads
I pray God lets me emerge, and see
And I know what I look like
[?], gold tooth, Gucci sign on my buckle
Even if I shake your hand like I'm nice
I know you can still see the scars on my knuckles
Yeah, I'm from the road bro
Like a [?] of weed I'm tryna grow though
I keep my nine-to-five, I had no dough
To chase my dream and get show dough
And I know that road dough's better than no dough
But the best dough doesn't put you in the pen
'Cause, it doesn't really matter where you come from
See, it only really matters where you end up
So no, I don't really need no help, I'll hold myself up
And I need no belt
And I move fully on, I need no stealth
'Cause we only know rich, we don't really know wealth
So yeah, I'm on the grind like a video girl
Give it every single breath, [?]
Stole 'em, made my space on my home
Just know young n***a coming from the roads
It's mad
[Chorus: Tis Rome]
Maybe 'cause I'm from the roads, yeah
They don't wanna see me makin', yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

I'm from the roads, yeah
This when [?], yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

Maybe 'cause I'm from the roads, yeah
They don't wanna see me makin', yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

I'm from the roads, yeah
This when [?], yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

[Verse 3: Cadet]
I remember I used to play [?]
Hand out CVs to get work, but
Now these yutes don't play
[?] social life or a social network
Yeah man, I come from the roads
Kids nowadays just come from phones
In my mansion with a bop in my step
You can tell that I come from the roads
I'm on all night, this bop in my step, yeah
And I know that road dough's better than no dough
But the best dough doesn't put you in the pen
'Cause, it doesn't really matter where you come from
See, it only really matters where you end up

[Chorus: Tis Rome]
Maybe 'cause I'm from the roads, yeah
They don't wanna see me makin', yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

I'm from the roads, yeah
This when [?], yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

Maybe 'cause I'm from the roads, yeah
They don't wanna see me makin', yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them

I'm from the roads, yeah
This when [?], yeah
But I'm doing this for myself
They claim they wishing well
They don't want me doing better than them, yeah
