Upchurch
Hitchhike
[Intro]
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh
Woah, oh

[Verse 1]
They don't know me like they think they do, I ain't one for Hollywood
A lot of shoulda-wouldas walkin' 'round you when the money's good
And to me I ain't famous, I just made it 'cause I'm from the woods
If pop ain't used to my kind to me I think it's understood
I already made a mark for every girl barrel racin'
Every boy slidin' across the hood, landin' on the pavement
Got nothin' to do with races unless it's racin' against myself
To dedicate my life to feelin' good and not devoid of wealth
Go ahead, chase the paper, I'll take a walk to see the source
Take a field of flowers over camera flashes on board
But these snapshots are timeless like an Iris that don't die
So I smile and wave like flowers wavin' on edges of roadsides

[Chorus]
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
All night, that's right
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
And don't worry 'bout me when the sun goes down
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
In my hometown, by my own self
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
[Verse 2]
It's not an everyday occurrence that I get to feel normal
People treat me like I'm royal, talk my head off with the courage
They done filled my tank so much that it's started overflowin'
I'm good at rappin', good at singin', thank you, thank you, yeah I know it
And my ego's still the same but my anxiety is potent
'Cause I just wanna chill and be somebody nobody knows
And I'm so high I'm steady floatin', flickin' ashes down below me
Thinkin' 'bout the road I'm on, the speed limit's still wide open
How long can I drive without plowin' in a tree
Knockin' my face off like my friend Charlene?
Tell me how I'm 'posed to be sane when the world is makin' me crazy?
The cities are set ablaze and the hatred is on the pavement
And every time you make a statement, motherfuckers wanna take it
There's another rapper like you bein' made at record labels

[Chorus]
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
All night, that's right
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
And don't worry 'bout me when the sun goes down
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
In my hometown, by my own self
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
[Verse 3]
I'm the one they didn't get, I'm the one they couldn't catch
I'm the one they couldn't bribe with cars, groupies, and stacks
Yeah, I'm that motherfucker, ha, King Kong of my own castle
With a army behind me ready to smack who's walkin' past me
I done been down in the dumps, now I'm restless on a mountain
Got the youth that people die for, yeah, my face is everlastin'
But my music will outlast me, the outcast that kept their traction
When the tires went bald, I got out with my country ass
Leave a laugh for the past, narrow eyes for the rest
Sleepin' good these days 'cause I made my bed
Where I lay my head there's plenty paper and lead
And this story ain't over 'til I got no blank pages left

[Chorus]
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
All night, that's right
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
And don't worry 'bout me when the sun goes down
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
In my hometown, by my own self
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
