Upchurch - Hitchhike lyrics

Woah, oh, oh, oh oh woah, oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh oh woah, oh

They don't know me like they think they do
I ain't one for Hollywood
A lot of shoulda-wouldas walkin' 'round
You when the money's good
And to me I ain't famous
I just made it 'cause I'm from the woods
If pop ain't used to my kind
To me I think it's understood
I already made a mark for
Every girl barrel racin'
Every boy slidin' across the hood
Landin' on the pavement
Got nothin' to do with races
Unless it's racin' against myself
To dedicate my life to feelin' good
And not devoid of wealth
Go ahead, chase the paper
I'll take a walk to see the source
Take a field of flowers over
Camera flashes on board
But these snapshots are timeless like
An Iris that don't die
So I smile and wave like flowers
Wavin' on edges of roadsides

Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
All night, that's right
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
And don't worry 'bout me when
The sun goes down
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
In my hometown, by my own self
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out

It's not an everyday occurrence that
I get to feel normal
People treat me like I'm royal
Talk my head off with the courage
They done filled my tank so
Much that it's started overflowin'
I'm good at rappin', good at
Singin', thank you, thank you
Yeah I know it and my ego's still the same
But my anxiety is potent
'Cause I just wanna chill and
Be somebody nobody knows
And I'm so high I'm steady floatin'
Flickin' ashes down below me
Thinkin' 'bout the road I'm on
The speed limit's still wide open
How long can I drive without
Plowin' in a tree
Knockin' my face off like my friend Charlene?
Tell me how I'm 'posed to be sane
When the world is makin' me crazy?
The cities are set ablaze and the
Hatred is on the pavement
And every time you make a statement
Motherfuckers wanna take it
There's another rapper like you bein'
Made at record labels

Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
All night, that's right
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
And don't worry 'bout me when
The sun goes down
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
In my hometown, by my own self
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out

I'm the one they didn't get
I'm the one they couldn't catch
I'm the one they couldn't
Bribe with cars, groupies, and stacks
Yeah, I'm that motherfucker, ha
King Kong of my own castle
With a army behind me ready to
Smack who's walkin' past me
I done been down in the dumps
Now I'm restless on a mountain
Got the youth that people die for, yeah
My face is everlastin'
But my music will outlast me
The outcast that kept their traction
When the tires went bald
I got out with my country ass
Leave a laugh for the past
Narrow eyes for the rest
Sleepin' good these days 'cause I made my bed
Where I lay my head there's
Plenty paper and lead
And this story ain't over 'til I
Got no blank pages left

Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
All night, that's right
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
And don't worry 'bout me when
The sun goes down
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
In my hometown, by my own self
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
