[Intro]
Lonely road, lonely road, ah-ah, ah-ah
Lonely road, lonely road, ah-ah, ah-ah
Lonely road
Lonely road
Lonely road, lonely road
Listen
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I gotta be direct but also give direction, yeah
I’m tryna disconnect but still maintain connection

Passive perception, please, don’t reason with me (Don’t)
I’ve burned the t-shirts from the places you’re still dreaming to see, yeah
It’s the embodiment (Of what?)
Of autonomy with the audience
Humanizing the godliness, finding faith in the fogginess (Come on)
Might not be obvious, but I’m reluctant (Why?)
‘Cause one of my biggest fears is being someone people used to fu*k with (Damn)
But I’ve faced that fear a lot, I hope it’s losing power (For real)
Part of me is dead, y’all missed the viewing hours (Damn)
You didn’t get to say goodbye, well, that makes two of us
A part of me that was responsible for introducing us (For real)
He’s still with me, he’s just not behind the wheel no more (He’s not)
He’s in the backseat, yelling, “No one keeps it real no more” (Haha)
Fear of disappointing people got me too reserved
It’s a lonely road when you going after what you deserve (For real)

[Chorus]
Lonely road, yeah, lonely road, ah-ah, ah-ah
Lonely road, lonely road, ah-ah, ah-ah
Lonely road
Lonely road
Lonely road, lonely road
Yeah

[Verse 2]

It’s a lonely road when you the only one you know with money (For real)
I really wish that they could feel me, but the subject’s touchy (Damn)
My beard is scruffy, I’ve been up all night just plotting s*it
Back when the Atlanta Hawks had Vladimir Radmanović (For real)
The sole earner, familiar role reverser, yeah
Mr all my jobs, I don’t to my coworkers, the pro surfer (Wave)
Dealing with a wave of emotions (Waves)
Probably why I’m playing Frank Ocean (Uh)
But this is what comes with it, yeah
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
Open up the doors that were closed like a shop keeper
Who do I turn to (Ayy) when I’m who they turn to? (Who?)
Walking through hell in my Maison Margiela church shoes
Does God have a curfew? (Where You at?)
‘Cause every night around 1 a.m, I’m up waiting just to hear Him say, “Yo, Russ, I heard you” (Fu*k)

[Outro]
Lonely road, lonely road, ah-ah, ah-ah
Lonely road, lonely road, ah-ah, ah-ah
Lonely road
Lonely road
Lonely road, lonely road
