[Intro]
I keep it—
We back to it
You dig? (I cannot—)
Yeah, yeah (Know what I'm sayin'?)
Every nigga that, uh
[Verse]
Every nigga that's trippin' around me, serve as reminder that
I gotta watch my step
I keep it quiet as kept (Ayy, ayy)
Yeah, I think I spent most of my life depressed (Most of my)
Only thing on my mind was death (On my)
Didn't know if my time was next (Next, yeah, yeah)
Tryna refine this shit, I redefined myself
First I had to find it (Uh)
I couldn't find a friend, had to rely on my wits (Rely on my wits)
I be with Mike and Med (Mike, Med)
Nowadays I be with Sage and with Six-press, ya dig? (Press)
I'm in L.A. with Glen, please come and claim ya kid
I cannot play with them (Yeah, yeah, uh, whoa)
Let's try a different approach out
I celebrate with a toast
Brodie, you know if you with me we homebound (Homebound)
I need a city to hold down (Hold down)
You niggas gave me a coast (Yeah)
You went and gave me a cape (Cape)
But that never gave me no hope (Hope, yeah, hope, hope)
I found a new way to cope
It ain't no slave in my soul
But I keep the memories close by (Close by)
Even when I hit a low (I hit a low)
I still give thanks to the most high
I can't do favors no more
If you lame and you broke and you waiting for co-sign
I'll take a plate to go
Bread I could break with bro
Noose on my chain is gold
Tell me how you been faking the whole time? (Whole time)
That's a surveiller's goal
These niggas be playing for both sides
This shit could take a toll
There ain't no— (Bro)
There ain't no— (Yeah, shit)
It ain't no place to— (Uh)
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Mm-mm-hmm
Nowhere2go was written by Darryl10k & Adé Hakim & Earl Sweatshirt.
Earl Sweatshirt released Nowhere2go on Thu Nov 08 2018.
Speaking via Zane Low’s Beats 1 Radio Show on the day of the tracks release, Earl said:
Nowhere2Go was a reflection of where I was at at that time. It’s also the first track getting released cause I’m not a single ass nigga. Its the closest thing I got to a damn single.
It received generally positive reviews. Writing for Pitchfork, Sheldon Pearce said:
In less than two minutes, he riffs about isolationism and its causes, not liking stuff but having to go outside anyway. But because it’s Earl, there’s a sense of solace that comes with all this.
