[Verse 1 : Doms Gauge]
Yo this song is dedicated
To the people that said I would never make it
'Cause I haven't yet, so I'ma work until I get to say that I have
So I'm spending night and day in the lab
This is the dream that I've been chasing and I'm craving it bad
I keep my eyes open for the snakes in the grass
Cause they're poisonous
Anything that's placed in my path
I'm destroying it
Living my life trying to enjoy the shit
While most my generation on drugs with the foil lit
Could've done something with their life, but they soiled it
And now they still expect their seeds to grow
But in this world easy come and easy go
So I guess everybody's looking for that gleam of hope, yo
I was in the 7th grade
Dreaming bout the center stage
Now I'm feeling like my time is coming almost any day
Hoping in the end it pays off
To get my fam what they need, whatever it may cost
[Hook : Doms Gauge]
Yeah it's been a long ride
I've been rolling all night
And I ain't gonna slow my pace
'Cause we live and we learn
Through the twists and the turns
When we're driving on this hope highway
And we gone ride till the wheels fall off
And at times you might feel you're lost
But you need to just be patient
And you'll reach your destination
Hope Highway
[Verse 2 : Doms Gauge]
Easy money, I don't see the purpose
I wanna work for dead presidents like the secret service
But this rap game's like swimming in a sea of serpents
They thinking they can drown the monster till he reemerges
That's motivation for the goals I'm chasing
Everyday I put in work and I ain't taking no vacations
But there always hating
So if they don't wanna let me in
I'm kicking down the door like a home invasion
Making a mountain out of a molehill
Living in this cold world, it'll give you bone chills
On this wild ride, buckle up and try to hold still
Thinking you're an animal can turn you into road kill
f*ck a bottomless pit, I'm tryna climb out
They wanna keep the kid in the corner like its a time out
But rhyming got my future looking brighter than a light house
On this road to riches I'm just hoping it's the right route
[Hook]
[Verse 3 : Doms Gauge]
See when you fall off a horse, you get right back on
That's why when I'm feeling down, I just write rap songs
Light that bong and clear the smoke
Life's a trip, here we go
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
Lost on an eerie road
I keep my head up high, still I'm appearing low
Tryna get this money but what's the point if your spirits broke
I do this for my brother, he passed several years ago
I'm spitting rhymes to the sky like I just hope you hear me bro
I've got a lot on my mind, I need to let it out
Never really had shit, so I'm out to get it now
Plus I'm riding solo on this path that I'm headed down
Busy writing lyrics I ain't finna write no wedding vows
Shit, I'm only 20 now
I'm still a young cat
Used to watch the Rugrats
But now I'm smoking blunt wraps
On Hope Highway tryna make it through this rough patch
Don't know where I'm going and I may not ever come back
[Bridge : Doms Gauge]
I keep rolling on this hope highway
Put my all in every song, every show I play
And if I leave empty handed on this road I came
I just want you all to know my name (know my name)
X2
