[Intro]
There go Kevin Gates
I just lit the sage
Agua de Florida
I'm on Palo Santo
I'm on Palo Santo
(June, you're a genius)
I'm on Palo Santo
(You're a genius, June)

[Chorus]
I'm on the road now, canceled all of my soul ties
Remember I used to tell you "I love you", I looked you in both eyes
Wrote you this message from the backseat of a Tahoe (My Tahoe)
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco (In Morocco)
This how it feel alright, when the pen might bust
Outside of God, there's no safe haven for men like us (Men like us)
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco
Wishing in Morocco

[Verse 1]
I'm elevated, reaching new heights
I'm the Messiah, feeling like Christ
Handle my sins rocking all-white
I'm in a Benz rocking all ice
Say me a prayer, I'm filling the room with the sage, how I'm living my life
Asking the Lord to send me a lil' something who say been gangster all my life
Protect me from my friends, I can take care of who I don't like (Uh huh)
Can't believe this bitch wanna act all innocent playing all in my face
I just hit the reset button, make a departure just how I came
No longer gone, I'm one with my pain
All of my scars come off when it rain (Rain, rain)

[Chorus]
I'm on the road now, canceled all of my soul ties
Remember I used to tell you "I love you", I looked you in both eyes
Wrote you this message from the backseat of a Tahoe (A Tahoe)
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco (In Morocco)
This how it feel alright, when the pen might bust
Outside of God, there's no safe haven for men like us (Men like us)
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco (In Morocco)
Wishing in Morocco

[Verse 2]
All praise to Allah, don't need no entourage
Don't need no bodyguards, he realign the stars
Manifesting a whole 'nother blessing
I gotta protect all my energy special
Gripping the wood while I'm hitting the pedal
They dance on the watch and they hitting the Bezel
Stay in your lane or get hit with the metal (Baow, baow, baow, baow)
Don't wanna shake hands, I might get an infection
I ain't got time to be wasting no time with nobody, I probably won't give 'em a second
I'm on the grind, and I am not 'bout to dick ride on nobody, I get to the cheddar
Not going blind, but I been countin' that 'wap with one eye, you would think I was Fetty

[Chorus]
I'm on the road now, canceled all of my soul ties
Remember I used to tell you "I love you", I looked you in both eyes
Wrote you this message from the backseat of a Tahoe (A Tahoe)
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco (In Morocco)
This how it feel alright, when the pen might bust
Outside of God, there's no safe haven for men like us (Men like us)
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco (In Morocco)
Wishing in Morocco

[Outro]
Agua de Florida
Agua de Florida
I'm on Palo Santo
I'm on Palo Santo
I'm on Palo Santo
Lights like Kanto
Lights like Kanto (Ha)
Lights like Kanto, yeah, yeah
How I wish I could be with you in Morocco
