## Lyrics

**[Intro: Post Malone]**

Mm, mm, mm

Mm

**[Chorus: Post Malone]**

'Cause they ain’t ever seein' me fold under pressure

They ain't never, ever seen me fold, nah, never

Always keep one up on ’em 'cause I'm too clever

I would never, ever sell my soul, nah, never

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

**[Verse 1: Post Malone]**

Yeah, they bet I'ma fall

And I’m only 24, but, bitch, I been through it all

I got so many hits, can’t remember them all (Ooh)

While I'm takin’ a shit, look at the plaques on the wall

Y'all just sit back, get your kick back

Keep on actin' like you did that, got no respect

For nobody who's just fake in life, ayy, ayy

You ain’t really who you say you are

So pick up the pace, there ain't no slowin' me up (Slowin' me up)

Get the fuck out my face, can you stop blowing me up?

'Cause my time is expensive, one mill a setlist

Bought a new car 'fore you woke up for breakfast, yeah

**[Chorus: Post Malone]**

'Cause they ain't ever seen me fold under pressure

They ain't never, ever seen me fold, nah, never

Always keep one up on 'em 'cause I'm too clever (Too clever)

I would never, ever sell my soul, nah, never

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

**[Verse 2: Meek Mill]**

Yeah, where you been? (Where you been?)

When it was time to do some work and put it in (Put it in)

I just be laughin' when I see 'em, look at them (Ha)

Leave when I lose and pop back up as soon as I win (Uh)

You ain't my day one and I know you not my friend

So I can't judge you when you do some phony shit and just pretend

Like you really down with me, because bein' loyal starts within

I seen that money overpower that love and turn it thin

But it ain't stop me, I just kept goin' up, took it on the chin

I wish every time they said I would fold, I'd make an M

Fuck around and be as rich as Jeff Bezos, say it again

Never lose, I go overtime on 'em, stay in that gym

Let's get it

**[Chorus: Post Malone]**

'Cause they ain't ever seein' me fold under pressure

They ain't never, ever seen me fold, nah, never

Always keep one up on 'em 'cause I'm too clever

I would never, ever sell my soul, nah, never

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

**[Verse 3: Lil Baby]**

I'm tired of bein' tired

This my last shot, you can't be mad, at least I tried

We supposed to be grown, but yet you still acting childish

I can get on the jet alone, I don't need no extra baggage

This year turned into a savage, I got baguettes in my necklace

Driving fast and I won't crash it and I'm supposed to be sober

But some kind of way, I just keep getting loaded

It's gonna take more than some pressure to fold me

Tried as hard as I can, but at this point it's outta my hands

I ain't runnin' out of these bands for nothin' or no one

She say I'm a dog, but it takes one to know one

Been goin' hard, been by myself, I don't need no love

**[Chorus: Post Malone]**

'Cause they ain't ever seein' me fold under pressure

They ain't never, ever seen me fold, nah, never

Always keep one up on 'em 'cause I'm too clever

I would never, ever sell my soul, nah, never

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

'Cause I been on the road, been on the road, I

Quit actin' like you been with me this whole time

**[Outro: Post Malone]**

Mm, oh, oh no

Mm, oh, oh no

On the road, oh
