[Intro: AkinG Kalld Pedro]
Yeah, uh, let's go
I ride that route to see
I ride that route to see
I'm saying I ride that route to see
I ride that route to see

[Verse 1: AkinG Kalld Pedro]
At 23, I never felt so alone
At 23, I never felt more or less free
The year to win six rings that sounds obsolete and cliche
My God not today
My anxiety comes out and asks for me to play
A blimp in society my fucking clouds are grey
I slip through the cracks like a stream on raining days
If I disappeared right now who would notice a thing?
No one

[Hook: AkinG Kalld Pedro & iLoveMasterMane]
I ride that route to see (4x)
Cuz you never know where
Life is gonna take you
A simple trip could make you or break you
I ride that route to see (4x)

[Verse 2: AkinG Kalld Pedro]
Bus rides remind me of a place that's not Heaven
The road to Hell as I deal with my depression
I was a troubled child back in two zero eleven
My sixteens were not sweet sour bad lemons
I vent... then put myself in a trance
Where sleep and death do they dance
It's like the silence of the lambs
The horrors of reality is a 419 scam, Uh-uh!
That's why I put my mask on
These drugs make my bright future look like a bad song
The pollen in the air can make a nigga tear
The past is the past is my faith really near?
You never know where this life is gonna take you
This simple gift can make you or break

[Hook]
