“Back on Road” is a celebratory anthem about getting back on the path of success—fitting, considering Gucci Mane was out of prison a mere 10 days after the release of this song.
The collaboration between Drake and Gucci Mane is interesting, considering Gucci’s past history of dissing Drake. However...
[Intro: Drake & Gucci Mane]
Zone, zone
Zone six (Six)
It's my nigga though
Guwop
[Chorus: Drake & Gucci Mane]
I got money that I saved then I'm back on road
Get my jewelry out the safe 'cause I'm back on road (Yeah)
I still do these hoes the same when I'm back on road
If you wasn't there for me when I was all alone
Then, bitch, don't expect no love when I'm back
[Verse 1: Gucci Mane]
I'm just an East Atlanta nigga with a body on his belt
I done had a million beefs but I ain't never call for help
I'll take a nigga bricks and I done took a nigga re-up
Put that pistol on your partner, made him piss all on himself (Oh yeah)
Got your bitch so pissy drunk, that she done threw up on herself (Yeah)
'Fore I send her back to you, she gon' have Guwop on her breath (Guwop)
I'm the last real nigga left, I'm on an island by myself
I'm my only competition, so I'm battlin' with myself (It's Gucci)
Facin' prison, drug addiction, it's like I'm battlin' with myself
I done shook off all my demons, now I'm back to myself (Yeah)
You didn't keep it real, nigga, so just keep it to yourself ('Self)
Waitin' on Gucci Mane to call you, nigga, better not hold your breath (Guwop)
[Chorus: Drake & Gucci Mane]
I got money that I saved then I'm back on road
Get my jewelry out the safe 'cause I'm back on road (Burr)
I still do these hoes the same when I'm back on road
If you wasn't there for me when I was all alone
Then, bitch, don't expect no love when I'm back
[Verse 2: Gucci Mane]
These niggas fakin' like they happy, but they mad I'm home (Home)
I'm the 2K16 Al Capone
I slap a nigga with a strap and then I throw him a hunnid (I know)
He be like, "Fuck goin' to trial, man, just throw me the money" (Throw me)
Can't eat, can't sleep, man, I miss these streets
Muhammad Ali, and the streets miss me
I went from trappin' on the block to niggas trappin' for me (Skrrt)
I left the trappin' went to rap, thought you'd be happy for me (Huh?)
And then your jealousy turned to hate, and you wrote a statement on me (Uh)
But when they let me out them gates, my bitch was waitin' on me (Mwah)
See, I ain't mad at you, homie, we ain't got no beef (No)
But I ain't got no rat for you, I know you must love cheese (Pussy)
[Chorus: Drake]
I got money that I saved then I'm back on road
Get my jewelry out the safe 'cause I'm back on road
I still do these hoes the same when I'm back on road
If you wasn't there for me when I was all alone
Then, bitch, don't expect no love when I'm back
