Devin The Dude - Rocky Road lyrics

[Hook: Chamillionaire] The rain is fallin and the weather is cold Don't know which way to go but I continue to roll The rainfall is really takin a toll On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul The rain's fallin but I'm keepin a hold On the light cause I know that I could spin out of control I know (know) I know (know) I knowwww This is gonna be one rocky road [Chamillionaire] Uhh, what part of the voyage is this? Friendship and business don't mix With anyone else it's 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 seen, it's best that 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 Tryin to get in your personal life, gotta do your best to protect it The answer rests in the message, when I go I go in a blaze But it won't be no Captain Save 'Em cause where I'm goin you saved Tryin to rain down on my parade 'til that umbrella get raised They thinkin that they can read me when they ain't nowhere 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 It's like it's a piece of cake, part of the icing is venom Spend a lifetime tryin to bring me down, but I just ain't gonna let 'em You better tell 'em [Hook] [Chamillionaire] Uhh, I'm back and forth and I'm pacin, bein more patient than patients Tryin to wait for the good news to show up but I'm unfortunately waitin Gotta be group participation if it's in the courts that we makin I was unfortunately done and she was unfortunately fakin Cause the only s**ual spark is the spark he got for the dough They say 'til d**h 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 seen this vulture befo' He thinks this is where I'll stop cause he sees that I'm 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 sho' I hope you know where you're goin, I hope you know that today On the side of the road you gon' see a whole lot of snakes When the bad weather comes to rain down on your parade Just raise up your umbrella and try to keep goin straight And keep on goin [Hook] [Devin the Dude] This road has many curves, many bumps and potholes It can even take you through a loop if you ain't got yo' {sh**} together, unpredictable weather could leave you Dehydrated, frostbitten, washed away or either Ran over by heavy traffic, watch where you roam Cause, it's a challenge just tryin to 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 Choir sing without bein judged by the crowd Maybe someday I could just fly away but for now I 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 [Hook] [Chamillionaire] 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? {*rainfall and thunder fades out*}
