Lyrics On the Road - iLL ZakieL

Memories go back in time to the first time to the first time I wrote a rhyme,
Envisioning me rocking a crowd I'd see it in my mind
Stayed on my grind honing my skills every day and night
Stayed up all night perfecting the craft until the day light
Then I'd be heading to work on the bus writing a verse
Then I'd get to work I'm writing rhymes while digging in the dirt
Like i was curse i just couldn't get away from it
I had to leave my job now I can get some pay from it
Now i be headed for my vision right for a head on collision
With purpose and conviction I follow my intuition
Yes sir im on a mission to win and start making millions
Always do what I say and if I said it then I meant it
You don't believe me oh well that's cool
On my way up to the top I'm going passed you
If you're standing in my way I'm coming at you
People said the sky is the limit and ima blast through

Now I'm on my way
Now I'm on the road
And I came a long way but I still got so far to go
And there's no looking back
Ain't no stopping me now
I be rolling like a freight train flying with my feet on the ground
Now I'm on my way
Now I'm on the road
And I came a long way but I still got so far to go
And there's no looking back
Ain't no stopping me now
I be rolling like a freight train flying with my feet on the ground

See I remember being back in high school .
Chilling at a party busting free styles with my crew
And in that moment I knew that's the path that I choose
Now I'm doing what I love and I'm loving what I do
I remember being ridden with anxiety
Knowing that I was never gone fit in right with society
I was losing my mind it was killing me from inside of me
Had to walk my own path now I'm blazing my trail entirely
I used to dream of the day that I'd go on tour
If you want something you gotta get up and work for what is yours
You can't just sit back and just sit back and just wish upon a Star
You gotta fight for it and claw for it and kick down every door.
Listen, i been work for this shit every single day
From the time I open my eyes every moment that I'm awake
When I close my eyes and I'm sleeping I dream of it in my brain
When I talk to god and I pray and now

Now I'm on my way
Now I'm on the road
And I came a long way but I still got so far to go
And there's no looking back
Ain't no stopping me now
I be rolling like a freight train flying with my feet on the ground
Now I'm on my way
Now I'm on the road
And I came a long way but I still got so far to go
And there's no looking back
Ain't no stopping me now
I be rolling like a freight train flying with my feet on the ground

Hiphop you saved my life I can't lie
Was lost and chained was rotting away
I was caught in the matrix one foot in the grave dying
You saw me and gave me the power to take flight
My hearts what I gave you I promised to make time
You brought me to places and crossing the state lines
I'm rocking the stages all over the nation
They mention my name in a positive way now
Prepared to keep building upon this momentum
Pedal to the medal I never stop and don't settle
On the road to success running like a Las Vegas rebel
Blazing my own trail my fire hotter then the devils
I be the one who never gave up
The one who always stayed up
All night working hard until the sun came up,
Through trials and tribulations
I always kept my faith
And now im headed on my way up

Now I'm on my way
Now I'm on the road
And I came a long way but I still got so far to go
And there's no looking back
Ain't no stopping me now
I be rolling like a freight train flying with my feet on the ground
Now I'm on my way
Now I'm on the road
And I came a long way but I still got so far to go
And there's no looking back
Ain't no stopping me now
I be rolling like a freight train flying with my feet on the ground
