On My Way Lyrics by Nana

From The District To The World

2022

[Verse 1]
I put my heart on my sleeve, but got the world in my palms
I got blood on my leaves, my mom told me, "Read Psalms"
Thinkin' back when I pawned the Jacob watch on my arm
Deep down, knew that it was fake, but, damn, I thought I was on
Growin' up, I had to decipher the right from the wrong
Share my soul, give my life, put my thoughts in my songs
Or load up a Smith & Wesson, put your thoughts on your lawn
And pull up in broad day to wet your block, then we gone
With nowhere to put our faith in, goin' nowhere, but I'm racin'
Chasin' demons off of my back because Hell was adjacent
I was schemin' off this rap on Broadway in the basement
All the blood, sweat, tears, sacrificin', waitin' patient
Feel my pain, all this money on this Earth can't erase it
Hard times, we embraced it
They gon' feel my demonstration, look
(Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadows)
(I fear nothin')
[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
[Verse 2]
I could've been a preacher teachin', walkin' in my father's steps
Blind to the length of how far the hand my father stretched
Niggas lookin' down on me, Harvard was too far to fetch
Now I'm takin' off like charter jets and I ain't started yet
Runnin' with the wolves through the dark and heightened my brightness
Rollin' dice in the cyphers, sidekicks for devices
Ditchin' school, we was triflin', all the blocks were divisive
Plus the cops tryna ice us, odds against us since diapers
Remember workin' Uber overtime, doin' night shifts
That was the same year Prince introduced me to Cypress
Time after time, I put it all on the line, I couldn't go for broke
My granny, Doris, died, that was the day I took an oath to grow
Real nigga mind, got it in me by design
So, nigga, don't provoke
You lead 'em astray, keepin' the snakes at bay, keepin' the vultures close
You either hoopin' or testin' your arch with an AK
I'm the light in the dark, when I spark, better make way
[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
[Instrumental Break]
[Spoken Outro]
Fuck outta here, man, you got niggas
I ain't come out here to— I ain't, I ain't come out here to take your rent money, bro
Air Max Trunners on, nigga, he got some, he got some Trunners
He got the Trunners, remember them?
Remember them Air Jordan Trunners that used to be in East Bay?
That's what, that's what you got on right now, man
